A Wedding on Día de los Muertos at La Fonda | Hope + TJ

Hope and TJ’s wedding on Día de los Muertos at La Fonda in Santa Fe was a celebration overflowing with color, tradition, and love. Every detail was perfection, and Hope and TJ were beaming with joy the entire day.

Hope wore a strapless gown with a soft, attachable ruffle draped across the tops of her arms, creating an elegant off-the-shoulder silhouette. Their first look was tender and emotional, a quiet and beautiful moment shared just between them.

They exchanged vows on the terrace overlooking the Santa Fe Cathedral, and in one of the most touching moments of the day, Hope’s grandmother served as the flower girl, gently scattering petals down the aisle. It was the sweetest and best way to incorporate her sweet grandma in her special day. Guests arrived dressed in vibrant hues, honoring the spirit of Día de los Muertos.

Following the ceremony, mariachis led the newlyweds through the Plaza, alive with celebration and music. The evening continued with a decadent sweets table, heartfelt toasts, a packed dance floor, and a room filled with genuine happiness. Their entire wedding day was a true reflection of Hope and TJ’s joyful love.
