On the morning of her big day, the blushing bride adorned a stunning red and gold two-piece Lehenga and intricate Indian jewelry. After a morning of prep, the groom came to pick up his wife to be, and the wedding party continued on to the soft sands of Nizuc beach for the picturesque ceremony. After the 126 guests were happily seated, the groom kept the tradition alive by entering on a bright red Mexican rickshaw to complete his Barat. Now that’s something you don’t see every day. A gentle breeze ruffled the brides jet black curls and the sea gently lapped against the shore as the couple declared their undying love for one another. Ramesh Malhan, the chosen Officiant, prepared a perfect Indian-fusion ceremony, complete with Mangalsutra, which left the father of the groom brimming with pride. After laughs had been shared and tears of joy had been shed, the wedding party retired to the sophisticated oceanfront A-Kan terrace to enjoy the panoramic ocean views for cocktail hour. The bride took advantage of this break to transform into her red carpet worthy white wedding dress and jewel-studded Christian Louboutin bridal shoes, adding the fusion into this Indian-fusion wedding. The loved-up couple chose the magical Sian Kaan Ballroom for their wedding reception, a breathtakingly beautiful hall with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lush Mayan jungle. Delicate blush and gold accents were strewn around the room, while blooming rose bouquets by Vanessa Jaimes and flickering white candles marked the center of each table. The look of awe on the guest’s faces as they entered this impressive ballroom was something we’ll never forget.As the bride, a vision in white and the handsome groom entered, the DJ began spinning on the decks and the celebration truly began. If there’s one thing these newlyweds know how to do, it’s throwing a party. Luckily, the Sian Kaan Ballroom had plenty of space to dance. As the bride and groom took to the floor, a glittering firework display shot up from the ground, providing the most magical backdrop to their first dance. From this moment on, the laughter, amazing dance moves, flowing champagne and cheeky tequila shots never stopped. After 8 months of careful planning, both the team at Mango Weddings & Events and the happy couple couldn’t have asked for a better Indian-fusion wedding.

We’re All About the Details!

There are so many details that I love from this event, and a couple, in particular, stood out to me. The gorgeous floral backdrop was such a beautiful detail that literally light up the room. I also loved the table setting, especially the serveware (luxury stoneware dishes and pitchers). I love the colors, textures and the look of them that really made the room pop. I also love the white drapery, vintage chairs, and the bridal gown–everything was so beautiful!

Take this Advice

Planning a wedding (or any special event) can be overwhelming, there’s so much to think about and consider from guest experience to the bride and groom. I think the most important advice I can give to couples still in the planning process is to have trust in the process; trust your planner, designer, coordinator–they know what they’re doing. Don’t get to hung up or stressed out about the details (not if you have a planner or stylist). If you are planning your wedding yourself without the help of a professional, really think about your budget, think about what you both want, must-haves vs. nice-to-haves, and really narrow it down to what’s important. At the end of the day, t his is about YOU and no one else. remember to have fun throughout the process, it is so easy to lose sight of the big picture so I would say, definitely, take it one day at a time. Have fun, do what makes you happy, and remember that it all goes by fast, so be in the moment–from planning to ‘I Do’. ~Glory Barbaris/Wedding Vendor

We love the dash of gold and silver details scattered throughout this shoot, it’s the perfect elegant touch! The pinks, cream, peach coral, and silver accents in the desserts add extra romantic detail!We love the bride’s stunning and sweet makeup look – a staple of the French that allows her natural beauty to shine through!

Saving the best for last, this gown is an absolute showstopper!

That’s the right word for this dreamy cloud of a ballgown! It’s made with 70 yards of light-as-air ivory tulle interspersed with 3 yards of blush tulle that give the skirt an incandescent glow. The bodice is made of ivory stretch silk charmeuse with an ivory French Chantilly lace overlay. For a bedazzled effect, several strands of Swarovski crystal beads and real freshwater pearls drape from the bottom of the bodice onto the top of the skirt. The dress has a lace-up corset back, but can be made with a center back zipper if you prefer. Extravagant looks good on you!

Repurposing florals throughout the day – it’s a great idea to invest in stunning florals for the ceremony, as long as you can repurpose them into the reception space afterwards. Be consistent with your theme and carry it through to the smallest of details. Weddings where the details are connected at every turn are the ones that are most often remembered. ~Lauren De Koster/Wedding Vendor

With vintage being the theme, these creative vendors were so excited to feature truly antique and well cared for pieces such as the bride’s dress, nightgown, and grooms morning robe. Shooting inside the stunning Mackie Lake House only added to the mood with so many well-preserved details. The home feels comfortable well still providing the type of history you expect to see in a museum.

Take this Advice

Celebrate your family’s history by incorporating heirlooms into your wedding day. Whether the details be big or small they bring along with them love that has been preserved for decades. Don’t hesitate to express your bridal style with something old and something borrowed. These details add a richness to your wedding day you can’t find in something new. ~Jenn Beal/Photographer

Every photo captured by Lindsay Coulter Photography is fun, elegant and gorgeous at the same time. Disneybound’s Leslie was inspired by the local venue, Hacienda Sarria for its similarities to the story of Princess and the Frog. She wanted to create a styled wedding with Disney influence, without the traditional flair. The story of Tiana and Naveen is set in New Orleans – it even has a pond with lily pads just like the film. Each of the vendors from cake to florals was inspired by the film itself, including a cake table with characters from the film made of fondant, hanging greens and tablescapes as a nod to the lush greenery in the bayou that the film is set in. Browse through the photos below and enjoy this amazing styled shoot!

To complement the whimsical Disney Princess and the Frog-inspired wedding theme, dive into the world of enchanting Disney wedding invitations. These magical invites can transport your guests to a fairy tale realm even before the big day arrives. Create a sense of anticipation and wonder with invitations featuring iconic Disney characters and motifs, setting the perfect tone for your own happily ever after.

Get help. Even if your budget doesn’t allow for a wedding planner, hire a day-of coordinator or a friend to help run the show so you can enjoy your day. Breathe. The day goes by quickly; take time to savor all of it. Be flexible. Things may not go as planned, but the day will still be perfect. I promise. Your guests won’t remember what color flowers were on the tables, but they’ll remember the special of you as a couple. ~Grier Cooper/Photographer

World traveler. Yoga enthusiast. Chocolate addict. Perfectionist. I’m a former professional ballet dancer (Miami City Ballet) with a love of the elegance and craftsmanship of bygone eras. I live in a 1907 home and period films make me happy; so do sparkly things. In addition to weddings I’ve shot fashion and stills for a number of Hollywood productions, including Hemingway & Gellhorn, where I photographed Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen (yes, he looks that good in person). When I’m not working you can find me dancing barefoot and searching for the perfect tropical paradise.
