Imagine a mandap on the beach that is overflowing with white flowers and held up by see-through columns which let the turquoise waves peek through. The white aisle leading up to it is lined on both sides by white flowers that make it look like a gorgeous garden.
And standing under the mandap smiling broadly is the love of your life.
That was just one of the breathtaking moments from Kinjal and Kushal’s fabulous wedding at Planet Hollywood Cancun. It was a week of laughter, bonding and pure joy as they celebrated with friends and family.
Read on to learn more about this lovely tropical wedding and get best practices you can use as you think about your own destination wedding.
Kinjal and Kushal’s wedding journey started with working with us to find out the perfect location and resort. Through our signature Resort Match Finder Process, we narrowed it down to Planet Hollywood.
This resort offers so many fun things to do with your guests while making the experience feel luxurious from start to finish.
It is one of the resorts in the area that is well-versed in South Asian destination weddings and is a favorite among our clients.
Finding the right location in Mexico or the Caribbean means having to sift through hundreds of options. And, finding a resort in that location is also time consuming because it is about more than just picking the one that looks beautiful.
You have to find one that not only works for your budget, but is also easily accessible, has experience with South Asian weddings, offers ample space for each of your events, and much more.
With so many things to think about, it’s best to work with us, a South Asian travel concierge agency. We not only know and have first-hand experience with the resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean but have contacts there to secure deals and perks for you.
As you consider having a destination wedding, pay attention to the questions any good wedding agency is asking you.
You’ll quickly find that we take time to get to know you so that we can give you the best results that fit exactly what you are looking for in a destination wedding.
Working with the right wedding planning team who has knowledge and experience with South Asian destination weddings in Mexico or the Caribbean can make the difference between a good wedding and a great one.
That’s why Kinjal and Kushal worked with Liz Medina Weddings for their wedding planning services plus Veronica P Weddings for coordination.
With the help of JC Castillo Weddings and Armando Lara Design for wedding design, our clients had a dream team that executed every event of their wedding week flawlessly.
As you consider your own wedding, ask your wedding planner for other vendors that they would recommend who have designed weddings well for their own clients.
This allows you to have a team of people who have worked together before so your wedding will flow from one event to the next seamlessly.
To capture their wedding week love story, Kinjal and Kushal chose to work with Gareth Davies Photography and Ronak Amin Studio for videography.
Together, they caught every sweet smile, every shared laugh and every warm embrace between Kinjal and Kushal.
One of the few wedding expenses that will always grow in value over the years are your wedding photos and video so this is one part of the budget where it’s important to find the best professionals who understand the unique customs of South Asian weddings.
Both of these teams always produce quality work that never looks the same from one client to the next so you can be sure that the photos and video you receive will be unique to your love story.
The moment when a bride walks down the aisle is one of the biggest highlights of any wedding so ensuring you have the most flattering look is crucial.
That’s why Kinjal worked with her glam team consisting of Sara Tamargo Makeup and Hair and Lemons & Mehndi.
Sara and her team aim to bring out the best in every bride ensuring they not only look beautiful but feel beautiful, too. Her makeup creations are applied with precision to bring out the unique beauty of each client.
The Lemons and Mehndi team are well-loved among our clients for making the mehndi process relaxing while creating skin art that they masterfully apply.
And with her beautiful outfit from Rasaya World, she was ready to walk down the aisle.
Kushal, dressed in Enzo Custom, was more in love than ever as he met her at the mandap. As you search for the right glam team, you’ll want to ensure that they can show examples of their work that match the kind of vision you have for your own wedding while also offering ideas on how to enhance your vision.
The flowers and décor by Roses and Co and Zuniga Deco Cancun for Kinjal and Kushal’s wedding week created an elegant atmosphere from the welcome party, Haldi ceremony, Sangeet night, and of course the wedding ceremony.
Each event had its own unique style with the welcome night having a luxury boho chic feel with a natural color palette and wooden accents.
The Haldi incorporated fruits and flowers for a classic feel. And the wedding ceremony featured white flowers lining the length of the runway to the mandap that was flanked with bunches of white flowers held by clear columns giving the illusion of being among the clouds.
As you think about your décor and floral needs for your wedding, choose an overall theme but work with your team to create a unique variation for each event to make each one feel special while still cohesive.
The right floral specialist and décor expert will know how to do this perfectly.
After the wedding ceremony, Kinjal and Kushal as well as their guests enjoyed fireworks in their honor which was the perfect lead in to their beautiful wedding reception.
That evening, they danced under a floral installation of hanging greenery, flowers and strings of crystal beading that made for the most romantic scenery for their first dance.
The evening was magical and exciting thanks to the talents of DJ Div of MVP DJs, AV team Encore Weddings, the special effects of Pyrotech MX, and the entertainment from Drums in Paradise.
Guest also enjoyed delicious and authentic South Asian cuisine thanks to Patravali Cancun. Each of these vendors was critical in creating an unforgettable experience for the guests that night.
A wedding as fabulous as Kinjal and Kushal’s happens when you have vendor partners who, like you, are dedicated to putting on the best experience possible.
