Tropical Minimalism across Casa De Campo in this Destination Wedding

A destination wedding weekend designed for beauty, movement, and good mood.

As seen on Carats & Cake.

Few places offer the layered charm of Casa de Campo—where you can go from marina views to garden paths to stone amphitheaters, all within one celebration. For S+S, we envisioned a weekend that felt both intentional and expansive; something fresh at every turn!

It began at La Casita Restaurant in La Marina, with a paella night mixed with a tequila experience. Minimalist styling with playful, tropical, and effortless details.

The next day, vows were exchanged in the quiet intimacy of the Genesis Garden at Altos de Chavón. With the lush surroundings as our backdrop, we designed a simple, elegant aisle leading to a floral arch of lilies and baby’s breath. The softness of the florals allowed the garden to hold presence, balancing natural beauty with the subtle accents of man-made structures.

As the sunset, the celebration continued at the Altos de Chavón Amphitheater. Cocktail started at the top of the Amphitheater, where guests could have a bird’s eye view of the reception space, awaiting for an incredible celebration. Under a transparent structure, we created a dance floor surrounded by cascading floral installations—dramatic, immersive, but never overwhelming. Lighting, sound, and structure helped set a cinematic atmosphere as guests descended into the space.

Lounge areas, long tables, and tall cocktail seating created natural movement throughout the night, while statement florals at the bar echoed the soft architecture above. Every area invited connection—flowing from design to experience without interruption. DJ Poche and satellite musicians that joined him made for a fun and festive night that the whole team will forever cherish.

Captured through the lens of @irisvannesphoto, and with a wedding film by @riceandrosesfilm featured on the blog, this celebration reflects the kind of design that speaks through feeling rather than excess.
