When you hear Puerto Rican elopement, what do you envision? Typically, it’s white, sandy beaches and a flowy wedding dress, right? Today’s elopement inspiration is flipping the script with this infamous tropical elopement destination, and we’re loving every bohemian bit of it!

The unexpected is Old San Juan; a city built in 1521 that still has original doors, streets and walls. This elopement is set in Castillo San Cristóbal, a fortress in San Juan, and a National Historic Site. How powerful it is to see things from another perspective? We love the historic and regal venue of this bohemian elopement, and can’t wait to share all the stylish details!

Photographers Natasha and Rey from Phosphilic planned, designed and photographed this day with only one objective in mind: present Puerto Rico as a place where you can always find warm weather and love. The stationery suite by Lili Weds is colorful and unconventional in the best way. We love the mix of turquoise blues and earthy tones. Say ‘I do’ in a semicircle of locally foraged pampas grass! It’s boho-minimalist at its best. Peacock chairs are always a hit in our book. Regal and bohemian furniture rentals from Lemworks give this a fine, finishing touch.

The bride stuns in that floral Rue de Seine wedding dress with fringe for days and an iconic, handmade crown. Her bridal bouquet from Stem Events includes almost every flower and type of greenery that we love! Plus, it’s bringing outstanding texture to her overall look, in a soft, earthy palette.
