After meeting in Cabo San Lucas, Melissa + Scott had a romance that hit the ground running. With kids and a courthouse marriage under their belts, they finally decided, 5 years after they met, to have the wedding they were meant to have. With their two gorgeous children and darling french bull dog (aptly named Cabo) in tow, Alchemy Fine Events helped these two design a wedding that was both fun and perfect as we head into this Cinco de Mayo weekend.

Melissa’s bridal bouquet recipe: succulents, coral pastel garden and fitness roses, ranunculus, berries, and poppies.

One of their favorite memories from the the was definitely seeing their two children walk down the aisle and share in that moment with them.

We’re so in love with their dessert table. Colorful pan dulce, margarita cupcakes, caramel horchata flan, chipotle spiced chocolate mousse… delish.
