As Jessie and Jimmy’s wedding

date approached, a hurricane

was scheduled to hit. Reluc-

tant to let the weather win, the

couple’s wedding planner, Amy

Abbott, came to the rescue. She moved the

date one day earlier and swiftly re-printed

everything, from signs to programs and

menus, to ensure the mementoes would have

the correct date. “The weather was perfect

and it all ran seamlessly despite the stress of

the hurricane,” Jessie states. After exchang-

ing vows in the Misión de San Jose del Cabo

Anuiti, guests joined the newlyweds for a lush

Flora Farms cocktail hour and reception. The

couple kept the vibe light but stylish with a

neutral color palette, which highlighted the

seasonal flowers and greens, and metallic

accents of gold. Glass spheres holding el-

egant blooms and swags of dreamy tulle hung

above the tables set with gold-rimmed glasses

and plates, where guests enjoyed seasonal

fare from the Flora Farms kitchen. “We were

reminded that our family and friends are ev-

erything to us,” said the bride. “To have them

all there to celebrate meant the world to us.”

– Kayla Hayes

out the reception, highlighting Flora

Farms’ natural beauty. 3. Sweet
