When it came to Simi and Rahul’s dream wedding in Mexico, it was a given that these two lovebirds would have a celebration that was completely romantic. Their love for each other showed throughout the wedding events and in every shot in their wedding portraits.
But what makes this couple special is how much love they shared for their family and friends who made the trip as well. Simi and Rahul wanted the wedding week to be a fun and elegant affair that also gave guests a chance to be pampered. With these things in mind, they set off on a beautiful journey to having a wedding that was the perfect expression of their love.
Read on to see the details of this stunning wedding and find best practices you can use for your own beach wedding.
Every good destination wedding journey begins with first deciding what location and venue you’ll choose. That’s where we come in. We are honored to have worked with Simi and Rahul in helping to narrow down the location to Mexico.
Using our signature Resort Match Finder Process, we determined the best resort would be Hotel Xcaret Mexico. Hotel Xcaret offers beautiful and unique locations throughout the large property that make for one-of-a-kind, jaw-dropping wedding portraits. This resort has an abundance of experience in catering to large crowds and it has earned the AAA Five Diamond Award for its excellent hospitality and service. So, it was a natural choice for Simi and Rahul’s wedding.
If you are considering a destination wedding in Mexico or the Caribbean, you’ll want an experienced wedding agency like ours that specializes in South Asian weddings in these areas. We have contacts in all of the resort that cater to South Asian weddings and we know which ones are best for weddings of all sizes. Plus, our connections allow us to access special packages and savings that we pass on to you.
In addition to picking the perfect place, Simi and Rahul wanted a talented wedding planner that could handle all of the finer details for them. They chose to work with Sejal Bhakta and team of The One Event who work with clients to create a personalized vision of their wedding.
They work with a select number of clients each year to allow them to give each one the attention and time they deserve. Their goal is to execute weddings and events that will leave everyone smiling, laughing and creating precious memories. As you search for a wedding planner, consider one that has a strong team that has ample experience with South Asian weddings of all sizes.
Simi and Rahul’s wedding photos look magazine-worthy for a reason: They were taken by the exceptional team at Meraki Weddings. They are especially skilled at finding unique locations on wedding venues that allow for intriguing wedding portraits that show the energy between couples.
You’ll find images that give a beautiful glimpse into the love of each couple and show the passion between them in a chic way. With this team, you’ll get images that are rich and colorful and full of emotion.
Their cinematography work is equally beautiful. They come off as short films versus just standard wedding videos that you’ve probably seen before. They effortless move through crowds capturing both the big and small moments that make each wedding so unique and special.
As you consider your wedding photography and videography needs, consider a company that offers both. In doing so, you’ll likely save money by bundling the services together and have a team that works well together to capture the best photos and videos.
The team at Styling Trio enhanced natural beauty by doing her hair and makeup for her wedding events. This team is well-known for doing gorgeous looks for South Asian weddings. They make getting makeup and hair done a relaxing experience for brides. And they can easily create looks that work with any outfit you have in mind to wear.
Their glam makeup looks are especially impressive and they create makeup styles that last throughout the event so you look flawless for your portraits. To round out the glam team, Simi worked with Henna by Sheeru for her mehndi designs on her hands and feet. Getting mehndi done is a memorable and special experience and Sheeru treats it that way.
From the first “hello” to the final last design created on the skin, Sheeru aims to make clients feel relaxed so they can be fully present to enjoy their moment. In finding a great glam team, it helps to ask for their look book and social media accounts so you can see examples of their work.
Look for consistency: do all of the looks impress you? Do they do a good job with bringing out the right features in each bride’s face? Do you see a look they have done before that you would love, too? Be sure to ask about what will happen if the main person you select becomes unavailable to come to the wedding due to an unforeseen event. You want to make sure the vendors you select for your glam needs will have backups ready to go.
Guests enjoyed the beautiful fragrance of the flowers in the air and the lovely décor surrounding them that created the perfect wedding atmosphere. This was all thanks to the work of Zuniga Deco Cancun and Corazon Luxury Weddings.
Zuniga is one of the vendors that our clients have chosen because of their professionalism and excellent vision. They listen to couples and create ideas for floral arrangements that look elegant.
Corazon Luxury Weddings provides luxurious décor that sets the right tone for each wedding event especially when it coms to South Asian weddings. Their sense of style and use of space is unmatched as they create an atmosphere that feels almost magical.
As you select your floral and décor vendors, make sure to bring along samples of the colors you would like so they can match your wedding colors.
Along with the décor and flowers, there are two more things that make a wedding memorable: Having good food and entertainment! Luckily, the team at Patravali Indian Cuisine was on hand to spoil guests with delectable meals and appetizers.
They are the first-choice South Asian caterer in the area that creates authentic South Asian dishes. They can customize meals to your guests’ dietary needs and they offer a large variety of options so that you’ll have the exact menu you would like for your wedding.
And when everyone was ready to dance, DJ Klasikhz of Desi Junction DJs, had everyone staying on the dance floor all night. DJ Klasikz brings energy and creativity into every one of the weddings he attends. He is masterful at blending the music so it feels seamless and even more captivating than the last set.
