Sun, Sand and Sparkles

By Car

Oh, there’s nothing quite as dreamy and romantic as destination weddings. The sun, sand, and sparkle will surely make everyone marry! This beach wedding of Harry and Jessica in Sirata Beach Resort, Florida is certainly one great inspiration. Beachy and sparkly, this intimate wedding is filled with the most important details. How they took the laid-back warmth of an intimate ceremony with the casual vibe of a beach themed celebration is amazing! And besides the fact that the couple looked like they had a lot of fun, some noteworthy details are definitely the turquoise color scheme with shells and sparkly silver, plus the modern twist (I mean, the all-star chucks that the bride wore!!) –how can they go wrong? (Ooh, and I have to mention the hand-made table numbers too!) Thanks to Limelight Photography, we got to get a glimpse of all the beautiful details! So go on and see it for yourself!

We’re All About the Details!

The Wardrobe

What they had for their wardrobe was immaculate! The white wedding dress complemented Jessica’s gorgeous beauty while perfectly matches with the stunning grey, white and turquoise color combination of Harry’s wardrobe.

The Chucks

Non-traditional but definitely not a bad idea! Jessica’s All-star chucks is definitely a fashion statement and she took the casual modern style into something extraordinary.

The Turquoise Decor

Harry and Jessica’s wedding is filled with beautiful details. They had a tree design as a media board for their guests to write a simple message. Even the simple decorations are well designed and well thought about.

Take this Advice

My first advice would be to do what you want, don’t listen to what others want. The knot.com and weddingwire.com were great for looking up vendors. Our wedding was a destination wedding so we had to rely on reviews. The last bit of advice would be try planning as far in advance as you can. It helps keep the stress down. ~Jessica Straley/Bride

Sky Palette Beach Flair

By Car

Everyone who loves the beach, raise your hands! If you’ve got both hands up like I do, then you absolutely cannot miss out on this set from Britani Edwards Photography. Cole and Destiny’s beach wedding mixed intimate ceremony vibes with stunning style! They successfully incorporated their love for the beach in their wedding – and the results were pretty awesome! The sky color palette and local floral décor created a beachy atmosphere that highlighted the natural beauty of the location. And for all the DIY aficionados out there, this would certainly be a treat! The bridesmaid’s floral bouquet and the greenery for the ceremony are all local to the area and arranged by couple’s family and friends. Other quirky details like the waterfront ceremony and the barefoot couple in the pristine Caribbean beach are definitely worth mentioning. Ready to find the little gems? Don’t let me stop you and scroll down below!

We’re All About the Details!

The Riviera Maya Beach

The inspiration for this wedding was the location. It was a destination wedding in Mexico so they wanted everything to be very beachy. They stuck with shades of blue for the color palette, and local flowers for decor. The ultimate sky themed beach wedding!

The Wardrobe

Even though this was a beach wedding, they wanted some traditional elements. They noticed a lot of girls going with short sundresses but the bride still wanted the wow factor of a beautiful full length dress. They tried to find something as light as possible knowing the weather was going to be 90 degrees or warmer.

They did the same thing with the groom. They wanted traditional with a beachy flair. They didn’t want shorts or linens so we picked a gray pant and opted for suspenders instead of a tight tie or jacket. Both of them went barefoot to add to the beach theme.

The DIY Bouquet

The bride made the bridesmaids bouquets which were constructed by using flowers that were all local to Riviera Maya.

Take this Advice

Try not to stress! Keep in mind that your wedding day is YOUR wedding day, no one else’s so stay true to yourself and your vision and do what makes you happy! Allow for extra time! The day will come and go in the blink of an eye. It’s important to slow down and take every moment in. Set a timeline with your wedding photographer and put a responsible individual in charge of assuring that everyone is following the timeline. Photographs are forever, so allow extra time to capture those special memories and do not be rushed for time. Skip the tradition and do a ‘first look’. First looks can still be very intimidate and also allows you to not be so rushed for wedding portraits. Your hair and make up are still fresh and it will also allow you to be able to enjoy your wedding reception quicker! ~ Britani Edwards/Photographer

Modern Mexican Destination Wedding

By Car

Hey, ladies! This fun and laid-back destination wedding is one tropical delight! The featured couple – Jordan and Ashley, decided on a clean, simple and modern color palette with a tropical touch, so it wouldn’t be competing with how vibrant the colors of Sayulita, Mexico. They wanted to keep things local, so they had vendors who know the destination and the best that it could offer, creating a super fun environment for the guests which ended as a wonderful party. But that’s not the only thing that’s inspiring about today’s feature! They also made welcome beach bag for each of the guests, fully equipped with an obnoxiously tacky yet so amazing personalized tank top with their wedding hashtag, a pair of vibrant Sayulita sunglasses and a fun little map to help guests get acquainted with the location and all it’s festivities. Thank you Dekker Photography for these snaps! Scroll down and check them out below. Enjoy!

We’re All About the Details

The bride’s first inspiration actually came from a set of napkins she found at Target! As she shares,

The napkins that I found provided everything I was looking for – clean and modern geometric lines, fun but subtle patterns, and a nice pop of color amongst the simple whites and grays that I wanted to incorporate on the tablescape.

The mix of blues really provided the hint of the beachy vibe that they were looking for without it being too over the top.

The Wardrobe

The bride is wearing a strapless dress with a sweetheart neck and a very structured bodice cut from Sarah Seven. The off white lace was just simply beautiful and just the perfect amount of sexiness and class which made the bride feel so beautiful inside and out.

The Floral Arrangements

Their florist Mireya from Flormimo was a true delight creating some of the most beautiful floral arrangements we have seen – especially the bouquet! She incorporated the tropical touch into the bouquets as well as on the tables.

Mireya executed different types of white florals with vibrant pops of green throughout the table. It was simply perfect!They had a super fun idea having a jenga game used as their guestbook, with the guests signing the pieces. A modern twist to this wonderful traditional Mexican wedding.

The Invites & Decorations

They had their tropical invitation crafted by Aerialist Press that shows the simple style that they need. They also incorporated individualized menus on the table to make each guest feel special designed with fun beachy colors and similar geometric lines to tie in with the tablescapes.

The Villa

The Villa Amor is located in a hillside overlooking the beach. This upscale, rustic hotel is centered in a collection of thatched-roof villas that looks so beautiful.

The Festive Cake

Staying with the mexican tradition, this festive cake is a classic addition to any Mexican celebration.

The Ceremony

Set alongside the gorgeous Sayulita cliff of Mexico, their ceremony is as majestic as the venue set behind them.
