Every detail was perfect, every moment was special. Read more about their fairy-tale South Asian destination wedding and learn best practices you can use for your future beach wedding.
Wedding vendors typically want to know when and where you would like to have your wedding. Finding a resort in Mexico or the Caribbean for a South Asian beach wedding can take time because you have to sift through so many to find the perfect one that not only fits your budget, your vision and your space needs but also understands South Asian weddings.
We simplify the process by helping couples find the destination and resort that is perfect for them. After taking Shivani and Nilan through our Signature Resort Match Finder process, we saw that Hard Rock Los Cabos would be best.
When you start looking for resorts, save time by working with an agency like ours who not only know which resorts are best for South Asian weddings but also has connections with the best ones. This means you’ll not only get the best experience there but you’ll also enjoy cost savings you wouldn’t get otherwise.
Destination weddings can have many moving parts so hiring a wedding planner early is crucial because the best ones get booked fast. Shivani and Nilan worked with Eunice Bravo Weddings to ensure that they would have a wedding experience that would be unforgettable.
The Eunice Bravo team stands out for their quality of work and dedication to their clients. They bring a sense of calm, confidence and skill that puts brides and grooms at ease. You’ll be in good hands with this team because they genuinely want their clients to have an incredible wedding.
We love that they ensure that the finer details of weddings from start to finish feel elegant and chic. As you look for a wedding planner, ask about their overall style and what they feel makes them different from others.
A good team will easily be able to tell you these answers. You should also ask them about how much experience they have working specifically with the resort you are considering.
Two of the most important parts of a wedding budget are the photographer and videographer because their work is something that will increase in value over time. This is an area of your budget where it’s important to get the best teams you can afford.
Shivani and Nilan worked with Take It Photo for photography and Ruiz Films. The Take It Photo produces photos that are vibrant, refined and full of emotion. Their work always grabs attention because they shoot at unique angles and manage to capture those subtle moments that make all the difference in telling your wedding story the right way.
Ruiz Films is a team that creates wedding videos that are beautiful and cinematic. After watching their work, you would think that they knew the bride and groom for years. The team has a great deal of experience with South Asian weddings in Mexico and the Caribbean so they know how to maneuver through the event spaces to get the footage that makes for stunning wedding highlight videos.
Selecting a photographer or videographer for your wedding should start by looking for one that specializes in destination weddings specifically in Mexico and the Caribbean. They will undoubtedly have worked with the top resorts and vendors you will be considering so they will work well with the other vendors you select.
You should ask them about their overall timeline for getting you the video footage or photos once your wedding is done so you know what to expect.
Shivani’s beautiful bridal glow came from within so when Andrea Vlaovich and Lemons and Mehndi worked with her as her glam team, it was easy to enhance her natural beauty. Andrea and her team have a way of creating makeup looks that are glamorous without being over the top. They celebrate each bride’s uniquely beautiful features and they know how to select colors that compliment each wedding outfit perfectly.
Lemons and Mehndi is a well-established and trust team of mehndi artists that create intricate designs that brides love. They make brides feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. As you select your glam team, make sure to articulate your personal style. Show them examples of other looks or designs you’ve loved so they get a sense of how to guide you.
To make sure their wedding looked as lovely as a fairy-tale, Shivani and Nilan worked with Casa Selva and Zuniga Deco Cancun for flowers and décor, respectively. Both of these vendors are skilled at creating environments for weddings that feel luxurious and chic.
The Casa Selva team’s creativity when it comes to creating floral arrangements for clients shines especially when it comes to their work for wedding ceremonies. They love listening to ideas clients have but also come prepared with their own vision to give clients additional options they might not have considered.
The Zuniga Deco Cancun team is a staple in the destination wedding industry because they have tasteful décor that ranges from traditional to modern. They ensure they understand the bride and groom’s vision for each event so that the décor tells the story perfectly.
When it comes to find the right teams for your destination wedding décor, choose ones that have beautiful décor to match any budget you have in mind. They should be asking about your wedding colors and your overall vision so they can customize everything to your wedding.
A good team will be knowledgeable about their industry so be ask them about particular trends they have noticed in weddings.
