Playa del Carmen LUXE Destination WeddingTaylor and Ivan travelled down South with their friends and family to celebrate their love and tie the knot at the Gran Porto in Playa del Carmen.  If you’re a regular on our blog, you’ve probably seen their stunning engagement shoot with the very talented Michelle of Magnolia Adams Photography. It was love at first sight for us when we saw Michelle’s unique style of only shooting on film, and we are thrilled to share more from Taylor and Ivan’s gorgeous wedding!

For the ceremony, they opted for a neutral colour scheme to compliment the azure ocean backdrop, including a beautiful jute aisle runner lined by starfish– a perfect touch considering the beautiful beach location they selected for this momentous occasion. The bamboo archway was lightly draped with white fabric and tropical floral arrangements in a very light blush pink to compliment the bridal party. The antique doors with cascading greenery made the perfect entrance way for Taylor’s grand debut as she made her way down the aisle to the man of her dreams.

From the fishtail braid, to her gorgeous lace backless dress, and even that she decided to go barefoot – absolutely perfect from head to toe! Many destination brides worry about wearing a veil since it is typically pretty breezy near the ocean, but this headpiece is a perfect alternative. BHLDN has a fantastic collection for beach-bound brides, from similar headpieces to bridal inspired bathing suits, which you can find more about here.
