THE journey
First stop Brooklyn,
Second stop Cartagena
Destination: Getting Married
Why Brooklyn? Why Cartagena?
My husband and I decided to have a two part wedding celebration. Part I took place in Brooklyn, NY. Followed by Part II, an intimate destination wedding in Cartagena, Colombia.
Brooklyn Heights holds a very special place in our hearts and is one of our most favorite places in all of NYC. We chose to elope before having our destination wedding and it was honestly one of the best experiences. We invited our parents for our elopement and spent the weekend in Brooklyn for our mini-moon. A few months later, we hosted 25 of our closets friends and family to celebrate our intimate 4 day celebration in Cartagena, Colombia. We stumbled on Cartagena as our destination but it couldn’t have been a more perfect match. With my ethnic roots from Colombia and my husbands’ from Dominican Republic, we immediately fell in love with the city’s energy and beauty. It is now the very place we consider our second home. It was important to us that every part of our wedding felt true to us and intimate without leaving out any of the details that in my eyes truly make the experience.
Pieces of mi Vida was born from a place of wanting to share everything I learned from my experience of being a Cartagena bride. Today, I get to share my experiences not only from a Bride’s perspective but also as an Event Planner and Designer for Cartagena, Colombia. With a background in Architecture, designing beautiful spaces has always been my passion. Having the honor to showcase your love in such a magical place allows me to bridge together every part of what fills my heart.
Pieces of mi Vida is a place I hope future couples can come to for inspiration and guidance on how to plan their own Cartagena dream wedding. May your journey be even better than anything you could have ever dreamt of.
Love,
A Bride that lived it, loved it, and would do it all over again.
Saying "I do" two times in two very different ways. Honestly, the best of both worlds.
