BROOKE & JAMES
BY THE SEA OF CORTEZ
One & Only Palmilla, San José del Cabo, Mexico
Highlight of the Night
Brooke and James’s innate style met with our sensibilities for an unforgettable night. A sea of elegant guests in crisp white linen moved from a quaint chapel to cocktails on the beach, then from a glam candlelight-only dinner to a packed dance floor under a bevy of lanterns and bougainvillea. If the florals were “Mexican rainbow”, then the beach (and the guest attire!) provided a quiet moment for the eye to rest. It’s quite literally all about the contrast.

“You know when you meet someone who just gets it? That’s how I felt when we first spoke to Calder Clark. I lost my Mom as a teenager, so I knew it was going to be just my Dad and me at the helm of our destination wedding in Mexico, and that I’d already be overloading my fiancé with just the fashion bit alone (I’m a career stylist). We needed that missing piece- a strong, kind, wise girl posse to meet us halfway. It makes perfect sense, then, that we drug Calder and Caitlin onto the dance floor at our after party—we weren’t going to let them miss a single moment of what we created together.”
