When culture meets celebration in the most stylish way possible, magic happens. That’s exactly what Kimberly Estapa and Eduardo Melo created at Sophie’s Gasthaus, a wedding day that honored their Hispanic roots while embracing a vintage modern aesthetic that felt fresh, intentional, and totally them.
The Perfect Day absolutely understood the assignment when it came to weaving cultural elements throughout the celebration. From the planning to the rentals, every detail felt thoughtful and personal. And honestly? The way they incorporated heritage pieces alongside bold, modern design was nothing short of brilliant.
The couple leaned into their culture in the chicest ways imaginable. Custom bride and groom piñatas added a playful touch that guests absolutely loved, while family heirlooms scattered throughout the venue told their family story in the most meaningful way. But here’s the moment that had everyone talking—the churro cart from Tasty Swirls Company. (We’re still dreaming about those cinnamon-sugar treats!)
Morr Photography captured every colorful moment on both digital and Super 8 film, giving the day a vintage warmth that perfectly complemented the bold color palette. The Super 8 footage added such a nostalgic, romantic quality to the wedding film—it felt like watching a love story unfold through a time capsule.
The design embraced bold colors in a way that felt sophisticated rather than overwhelming, creating a vintage modern vibe that worked beautifully with Sophie’s Gasthaus’s historic elegance. The 1906 estate’s luxurious interiors and serene courtyard provided the perfect backdrop for a celebration that honored tradition while looking toward the future.
This day was proof that modern weddings can still feel rich with heritage—that you can honor where you come from while creating something entirely your own. Kimberly and Eduardo didn’t just throw a beautiful party; they created an experience that told their story, celebrated their families, and shared their culture with everyone they love.
