The Brides Hosted a “Lucid Dreaming”-Inspired Wedding at a Surrealist Sculpture Park Outside Mexico City

This vision also translated to the dress code for the day. “We sent everyone a mood board filled with color, feathers, shimmer, and movement. Everyone interpreted the theme in their own way, and it turned into the most incredible visual symphony,” says Sofia. “It felt like a living art installation.”

For the brides’ looks, they hoped to feel like the most elevated versions of themselves in this dream. “I wore a gown by Greek designer Di Petsa, known for his exploration of the sacred feminine and his wet-look pieces that feel like liquid silk on the skin,” says Sofia. Dan wore a custom ivory suit with an open back and sculptural tailoring by Mexican designer Kris Goyri. “The look was powerful and fluid at the same time, a modern expression of both strength and softness,” notes Sofia. The brides both accessorized their ensembles with jewelry by Sosu, a brand owned by Sofia’s sister. “I wore long diamond earrings that caught the light like tiny stars and Dan wore a pearl necklace that felt unique and symbolic,” she shares.

The wedding began with two ceremonies that led into a lunch reception and evening dance party. “The whole day moved like a prayer, where music, laughter, and love blended into one rhythm,” shares Sofia. First, the brides were legally bonded in a civil ceremony inside a colorful greenhouse with their closest family. Then, the newlyweds entered into the sun for a ceremony in a natural amphitheater covered in grass. “Guests sat in a circle around us under white parasols, and the altar was made of angel’s trumpets, lilies, and moss, as if nature itself had shaped it,” describes Sofia. The couple’s dear friend Maf officiated the ceremony. “Her words were pure light,” reflects the bride. “She spoke about the island we have built together, where love, freedom, and authenticity are the laws. We shared words with our parents, honoring everything that brought us to this point, and then exchanged vows that felt like promises whispered between worlds.”

The party moved into a garden with a mosaic serpent for cocktail hour. Guests nibbled on a menu by Chef Alejandra Navarro, inspired by the nature that surrounded them. “After the cocktail, guests walked through the park to a hidden garden where lunch was served with tacos from Tacos Domingo in a relaxed, family-style way,” says Sofia. One special moment from the meal took place over their wedding cake. “María Amaria was finishing the cake right there on the spot, and without planning it, we found ourselves around her, our mothers, and our closest friends adding the final touches together,” Sofia remembers. “It became a sweet, spontaneous moment that closed the day beautifully.”

As the evening approached, guests gathered for a garden dance party. “Our friends Alex Albert, Brando, and Sep played sets that felt like sound journeys,” says Sofia. “One of our favorite moments was when a song from Burning Man started playing, and our friends brought out whale-shaped bubble guns. The dance floor suddenly turned into a sea of bubbles and pure joy.” She remembers, “Everyone was smiling, completely in the moment. A perfect scene inside a lucid dream!”

Reflecting on the day, the brides share how meaningful it was to have their friends bring the celebration to life: “From the chef to the florals to the music, every detail was shaped by people who know us and poured their heart into the experience. And to have it all unfold within El Nido de Quetzalcóatl—this magical, otherworldly space that feels alive—was beyond anything we could have imagined."
