Lopesan Costa Bávaro Resort, Spa & Casino

Something Blue 💙 In keeping with tradition, every bride carries something blue as a symbol of love, fidelity, and good fortune. For us, that something blue is you — our loved ones. As we begin our wedding weekend with the Welcome Cocktail, we invite you to wear a shade of blue to help bring this tradition to life. From sky to navy, turquoise to sapphire, every hue will come together to surround us with the love and joy you've all brought into our lives. Your presence is our greatest blessing — and our something blue. There will be cocktails and music to enjoy from 5-7PM! Afterwards we will proceed to Buffet Atlantico for dinner (7PM), this is optional. If you would like to explore another restaurant for dinner, on your own accord, you are absolutely more than welcome to! The resort a good variety of restaurants to enjoy!
