Stephanie and Michael’s ‘Boho Lux’ Super Glam Weekend Wedding in Mexico by Andrea Camarena

Today I am delighted to bring you the most stunning destination wedding, all the way from Mexico. The great thing about a destination wedding is they generally last longer than just  day. All your friends and family have travelled for miles, they might be tagging on a holiday onto your wedding celebrations, which is why destination weddings tend to be a lot more relaxed, laid back and can go on for a number of days. This is certainly true for today’s wedding. Stephanie and Michael were married on 11th November 2023 in San Miguel but their wedding celebrations lasted the whole weekend. From a rather unique ‘wedding parade’ the Friday before the wedding to the actual wedding it self and then the day after for more couples photos, this is the wedding that keeps on giving. Big shout outs to planners  Penzi Weddings and photographer Andrea Camarena.

‘Love on a Double Decker Bus’ Vintage Meets Bold Wedding Inspiration

Wow! What a busy week it has been here at Boho HQ, not only has the blog been jam packed with articles and real weddings, the weather has been somewhat disruptive! Getting out and about has been difficult as there has been so much frozen snow and ice. Lets hope we get some warm weather soon so it all melts and we can go about our day to day business again. In other weather news my thoughts go out to those in California where the weather is quite the opposite, hoping that the wild fires over there die down really quickly to stop the utter devastation, such sad times! On with today’s styled shoot and what a perfect way to end the first week back in January.  The shoot took place on 10th September 2024 at Deckerdence, Coleshill in Warwickshire and it features this gorgeous couple who I had on the blog back in August. A real beauty of a styled shoot, enjoy!

This shoot brings to life a vibrant, one-of-a-kind mobile venue, where playful charm meets relaxed, sustainable elegance. At its heart, a vintage double-deck bar bus steals the spotlight, while a striking autumnal colour palette effortlessly creates a bold and unforgettable wedding backdrop, perfect for couples seeking something truly distinctive.

Ask the Experts: Why Maui Elopements Are Transforming Wedding Traditions

This afternoon we are looking at elopements but not any old elopements, today we are eloping to Maui. Maui is an island in the Central Pacific, part of the Hawaiian archipelago, renowned for its golden beaches, forested mountains and endless sunshine, which makes it the perfect place to get married. Having never been to Maui myself I have enlisted the help of someone who has, and they are here today to give you their Maui Elopement story.

I’ll pass you over to Satyaban who will tell you more……

Maui’s sunsets, lush landscapes, and tranquil beaches have long been a dream destination for couples looking to tie the knot. Yet, more couples today are trading large, traditional weddings for intimate, intentional elopements. My journey to Maui for my own wedding revealed why this trend is gaining momentum—and how it changed my perspective on what weddings can truly be.

The Appeal of Elopements

Elopements aren’t just about skipping the guest list or saving money. They’re about stripping away the pressure of performance and focusing on the heart of the day: two people making a lifelong commitment. For us, the idea of a ceremony surrounded by nature felt authentic and meaningful.

Planning an elopement came with its own challenges. Questions swirled: How do we find a photographer who captures more than just images? What about legalities, venues, and styling? While daunting at first, we found that resources designed for elopements helped us embrace simplicity without sacrificing elegance.
