After looking at 16 reception sites (I was extremely thorough when choosing all of my vendors, she admits), the bride fell in love with The Parador, specifically because it picked up on the Spanish-influenced craftsmanship of the church.

Cafe tables draped with taupe shantung linens boasted small glass cylinders filled with bells of Ireland, votive candles, and scattered button mums and river rocks.
