Lush salmon-colored bougainvillea covering historic brick barns, tranquil balmy spring evenings and heartwarming sunsets set the tone and color palette for this intimate event at the charming Flora Farm in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. Partnering with Kiana Underwood of Tulipina and Josefina “Pina” Hernandez, the floral design sat centerstage. Guests dined under vibrant violet Jacaranda trees and lounged poolside at the world class spa.

Jesse found inspiration from historic Mexican oil paintings, religious art and antique architectural moldings. He incorporated custom wax seals and hand calligraphy into the event branding and collateral to add unique personalization and thoughtful detail.

The layering of florals of all shades of the rainbow with contrasting textures and varying sized blooms created a bounty of beauty in the original, working brick barn at Flora Farm. Jesse wanted the look to feel like an opulent flower market, bursting with saturation. Jesse layered in an assortment of local fruits and vegetables like mangos, papayas, guavas and prickly pear, all from the onsite farm.
