Vanessa and Manuel love the Charro Lifestyle and what more than to have a Mexican Charro theme wedding. This wedding brought back so many memories of my childhood when we would travel to Mexico every year for the Holidays. My grandfather was and is a Charro and I would love attending his Charreada’s and watching him in his full glory. Through out the entire wedding I kept thinking of my Papa Lalo.

Vanessa wore cowboy boots for the reception along with a beautiful white rebozo. All her bridesmaids wore grey rebozo’s as well..jpg)
My heart melted when I saw his outfit. I remember laying out my grandpa’s outfits on his bed and handing him his espuelas as we would get ready for the charreada’s.
The groom traveled to church on his horse along with all his groomsmen and the mariachi behind them. Manuel beamed as he danced his horse.
The flower vases which were Jarros de Cantaro were imported from Mexico.Veil was designed by the bride and ordered from Guadalajara.
Everybody was dressed for the occasion even this little happy guy!
All the reception center pieces and custom monogramed drink cantarritos (which they designed) were aslo from Mexcio.The rings were a gift from the grooms sister and brother in-law.Candy table was designed by the groms aunt. The bride and groom were thrilled by it. She did an awesome job!A groomsmen enjoying the bar!Of course they had there favorite treat, shaved ice!
The kids looked so adorable in their tradional wear.
They had churros, aguas frescas and fruit just like a plaza would have in Mexico.
They wanted it to be traditional Mexican and they designed the reception to look like a mini plaza with the fountain and everything!They had they’re horse dancing in the background as the band played all night for them.
All the single girls received veils for the Vivora dance. To a surprise of the dancers they were stopped along the way for a tequila shot!What a beautiful day!
