Their Story
Ana and Diego first met at a church event that gathered local churches—they played for different churches’ worship teams.
The Engagement
They got engaged on Ana’s birthday/Christmas of 2022.
Details
Ana and Diego’s wedding at the Refinery at Perona Farms was a classic event with a black-and-white theme. They were married in the Atrium, a unique and beautiful indoor/outdoor ceremony area with a green wall and string lights. Ana wore a breathtaking ballgown fit for a princess, and Diego and his groomsmen were dapper in classic tuxedos. The bridesmaids wore magenta gowns in different styles. Bouquets were classic white roses and calla lilies.
Guests were then led to the rustic yet elegant Refinery, where tall glass candlesticks paired with low white centerpieces decorated the tables draped in black. For the reception, Ana changed into an ethereal gown with off-the-shoulder draped sleeves.
Favorite Detail
Ana’s favorite vendor was Carolyn, her makeup artist. “She made me feel like a real like princess,” Ana says.
Favorite Moment
Ana’s favorite moment was their first look in the ceremony space. “It felt so special to walk down the aisle while it was just the two of us,” she says.
Advice
“Stress less about the small details, the day will be perfect regardless,” Ana adds. “At the end of the day you’re marrying the love of your life and that’s all that matters.”
Honeymoon
“We’re still going on our honeymoon,” Ana says, “have it planned for December 2024.”
