A Mix of Modern Style and a Citrus Palette at The Solaz Resort in Cabo

By Kevin Harson7 April 2025

Cassondra had always been drawn to the idea of orange and fuchsia when thinking about her wedding, and there could be no better backdrop for those vibrant, eye-catching colors than the deep blue sea of Los Cabos. From the bride: “I imagined everything in color. Two of the brightest colors that perfectly corresponded with that perfect ocean. An absolute dream!”

Cassondra and Thomas’s tastes are a self-described mix of modern and colorful. The Solaz resort provided a sleek and clean setting for the former, and the color came in the form of the florals, the furniture, and all the more minor details. From the bride: “It was whimsical, serene, and full of color. The Del Cabo Weddings designers took my vision to a new level.”

Thomas proposed to Cassondra amid the vines at the lovely Williams Chris winery near Fredericksburg, Texas, just following the fall harvest. From the bride: “It was magic.”

Cassondra went with a stunning all-white gown and veil from Pronovias. The feathered appliqué on the veil matched perfectly with and laid beautifully over the gown’s trim. From the bride: “It fit my figure just how I wanted. I wish I could wear it over and over!”

The keywords for the bridesmaid dresses were: Clean. Sleek. Simple. The ladies looked truly lovely in Jasmine Halter dresses from Show Me Your Mumu in a custom color called Show Me The Ring Luxe Satin. From the bride: “That brand looks amazing on every figure!”

The couple wore the classic black tux for the gents: sleek, well-fitted, and a perfect contrast to the groom’s luscious cream jacket.

The couple wanted to honor their home state of Texas while also serving up some classic Mexican fare. Plenty of margaritas as well as the groom’s famous take on the Ranch Water cocktail were to be had by all.

Cassondra had always dreamed of having bougainvilleas at her wedding, so she and her design team incorporated them simply and tastefully at every opportunity.

The couple opted for a three-tier modern design, smoothly iced in all white with willowy decorative ribbons. Keeping with the “pink” spirit of the evening, the sponges were made of vanilla raspberry.

Cassondra walked down the aisle to a favorite instrumental selection of hers: “Agape” by Nicholas Brittell. From the bride: “It gives me chills picturing it now.” Cassondra’s brother and best friend, Connor, was the couple’s officiant. From the bride: “He brought faith, personal stories, and love to the service that was beyond anything I can begin to explain.” When it was time to get on the floor, the couple had created a Spotify playlist called “crowd plzrs” that has since become quite a hit among their circle of friends and family.

The wonder and uniqueness of their chosen destination hit Cassondra as she faced the vast, breathtaking Pacific Ocean while she had her make-up done. From the bride: “I could see the whales dance out on the horizon.”

Cassondra and Thomas had an adorable photo of their dearly departed dog Leo and the words “I do, too!” imprinted on the cocktail napkins so that he would celebrate with them in spirit.

The couple stressed what a hit the photo booth turned out to be with their guests and how many wonderful moments it was able to capture.
