BROOKE & JAMES
LOVE IN LOS CABOS
One & Only Palmilla, San José del Cabo, Mexico
Highlight of the Night
This intimate rehearsal dinner may have captured all the senses—the soft ocean breezes, the scent of bougainvillea, the clink of crystal, the raucous laughter of a good roast, and the tang of exquisite Mexican cuisine all played supporting roles. For us though, the star was the axial view . . . a neverending table clad in frayed-edge white linen and topped with moody moments of velvety black and rich green led the eye from one end of the restaurant deck out almost to the sea.

“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.”
