Here’s a little peak into the seemingly endless details of Averie & Keith’s glorious destination wedding at the Hacienda Tres Rios Resort in Playa del Carmen Mexico!
We’re going to start off at the welcome party the night before the wedding, it was tucked away in a little grove of palm trees, lit with colorful paper lanterns and flags.
There were plentiful desserts, and tamarind margaritas abound! YUM.
The tables were topped with sombreros, maracas, and little mustaches and beards to get everyone in the spirit, and hopefully prompt some silly pictures!
It worked :) Photographers gotta have a little fun too ya know!
Averie handed these Bridal Biddie cards out to her girls, along with a cute present.
A night time view of the beautiful and HUGE Hacienda Tres Rios.
So on wedding day we woke up in the morning to THIS amazing view. The Hacienda Tres Rios in addition to be an amazing resort, is a nature preserve as well, and had amazing foliage and animals running all over the place!
Alright, now onto the really good stuff! I just can’t get enough of this DRESS!
It’s just so dang pretty!
You know we liked the bling!
Averie had her soft tropical themed stationery on hand, love her message in a bottle save the date!
Averie gave Keith a sweet memento, a custom engraved pocket watch, with a picture of his deceased mother inside, so so so sweet.
What a fun monogrammed box! Plus cigars for the guys!
The belt detail on Averie’s dress is just so lovely and delicate.
Averie had her girls wear mis-matched coral dresses and gold shoes, they were so festive and beachy!
White sand and blue blue skies everywhere! LOVE!
There were lounge beds all along the shore line, so we had to take advantage.
Look at this romantic bungalow!
Complete with beautiful sprays of snapdragons…
…white rose petals,
…MORE snapdragons, and straw fans for the guests.
From the bouquet, to the ceremony, to the centerpieces, everything was tied in so well!
The flowers were simple and rustic and festive but still so elegant.
Averie & Keith made a donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in memory of Keith’s mother in lieu of favors.
I love their Señor and Señora signs! Such a fun twist!
Mariachi music!! YES!
There was chic lounge furniture on the deck for people to relax after the dinner.
And Averie’s mom decorated the cake with flowers!
Averie had a message in a bottle guest book set up so everyone could write a secret note to the couple.
I feel like there is one word for this wedding STUNNING. Such thoughtful details, simple and elegant, it was such a pleasure to document! You can thank these wonderful people for them!
