“ We trusted our friends , knowing they are fans of the theme as well ,” Estefania says . “ For our guests , we pretty much told everyone the attire was wedding formal , but to dress as if they were going to a fancy Renaissance fair . Everyone did just that , and it was amazing .”
The ceremony was the pair ’ s favorite part of the day , as the autumn sun set while they shared vows in front of loved ones . Partying in a historic and charming castle comes in close second , of course . “ Not only were our vendors phenomenal , the onsite staff at Hammond Castle were a delight to work with , both during the planning phase and on the day of ,” says Estefania . “ One of the perks of hosting the wedding at a museum is that there were multiple staff members in attendance to offer our guests free tours of the castle and grounds . It was a fun and unique experience for them as well .”
Another perk was the built-in decor and aesthetic . The color scheme was neutral , and greenery like eucalyptus and leatherleaf fern were used instead of floral bouquets . Boston Event Divas helped the couple bring their fantasy wedding to life by making the interior of the castle seem like an enchanted forest .
Estefania and Luis executed their medieval-themed wedding with confidence , and advises those planning their own wedding to be themselves as well . “ Don ’ t let anyone influence your decisions and don ’ t be afraid to be as ‘ out there ’ as you want ,” says Estefania . “ Let your creativity shine and just have fun with it ! At the end of the day , it ’ s your wedding and you should celebrate however you ’ d like .”
