Last week, I introduced you to the first stop on my Top 10 Travel List of Places I’d Like to Visit (try to say that 10 times fast). That list continues this week, and I hope you love this resort as much as I do.

I seriously fell in love with the Esperanza Resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Oh. My. Goodness. It is too gorgeous.

An Auberge Resort, Esperanza was named the Top Mexican Resort and Top Mexican Spa in 2010 by Travel + Leisure. Comprised of casitas, suites, villas, and private residences, the resort boasts multiple dining venues, the award-winning spa, exclusive private beach with service, a yoga and pilates studio with complimentary daily yoga lessons, an art and sculpture gallery, and much more. It’s absolutely breathtaking, and I can’t wait to share the photos any more! Enjoy!

And of course a wedding set up to wrap it up:

This Mesh Ruffle Dream dress by Steve Madden could be re-worn for lots of wedding activities and be dressed up or down. I love the color (plum velvet), cascading front ruffles, and affordable price tag (just $44.80 at Zappos!) are all positives in my book.

How awesome is this escort card display? Jessica + Kevin incorporated wine and Italy into their wedding, designed by Lemiga Events, in several ways: naming tables after their favorite Italian cities, giving guests bottles of olive oil as favors, and featuring a Le Jardin Francais-designed escort card display. The display featured branches intertwined with leaves and grapes to carry out a very elegant Italian theme. Thanks to Andrea Taylor Studio for the photo!

This drop waist ivory wedding gown from the Jewel by Priscilla of Boston line has a beaded neckline, halter straps, and drop waist. Beading and jewels can sometimes be way overdone, but this one shows enough restraint to be elegant and timeless.
