Hannah and Ryan

Wedding in Puerto Vallarta at private villa

Our very first Australian couple! Hannah & Ryan’s guests were the kindest, most laid back group, who in true Australian fashion, were travelers at heart. They traveled across the world to explore all the magic Mexico has to offer and many extended their trip past Puerto Vallarta to other destination within Mexico. We hosted the guests at Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta, a fabulous All Inclusive hotel located in the most beautiful cove and just minutes away from the private villa where we hosted both the wedding ceremony and reception. Even though all beaches in Mexico are public beaches, Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta is located in a cove and so the only way to reach the beach is through the hotel, making this stunning beach entirely private for the hotel guests. Located in Conchas chinas, the Beverly Hills of Puerto Vallarta, this private villa is on one of the highest points boasting the best views of the Ocean as well as the city. The Sun setting just perfectly in it’s view is just the cherry on top! live music, late night tacos, greasy churros and all the feels! Photographer: Emily Alyssa

7 things you may have forgotten when planning your wedding

Written by Clara Now, before we begin I must make clear that this isn’t your ordinary wedding checklist. We will take note of the little things that are often taken for granted before, during, and after the wedding. Before 1. “Getting ready” music playlist Many brides tend to forget or put off this small detail thinking “we’ll just play music from our phones or iPod” and leave it to the day of. The thing is, music is what usually sets the mood in the bridal suite. Stressing over what to play next or skipping songs can somewhat dampen the mood. 2. Vendor meals We must remember that vendors are working long hours to make your day perfect. You don’t have to worry about it on your big day but be sure to take it into consideration during the planning. During 3. Switch your engagement ring back A lot of brides place their engagement ring onto their right hand, in order to have a bare hand for that glorious shot when the groom slips on the wedding band after saying “I do”. Just don’t forget to switch back your engagement ring so you can show off your duo in all of your photos. 4. The Gift caretaker Nowadays it’s very popular to have an online gift registry or a bank account for gifts but some of our elder family members might like to do things old school and bring a gift to the reception. If this is the case you might want to assign a person (whom you trust, of course) to be responsible for the gifts. 5. Assign a ‘go-to’ person for the photographer We can all agree photographers have a huge responsibility of capturing unforgettable moments on your big day. With that said, there are many family members that you would like to commemorate by having them in your photos. It would be a great asset to have someone give a ‘heads up’ to the photographer of the ‘who’s who’ at the reception. After 6. Snacks for after the reception If you’re planning to enjoy your wedding to its fullest (and you should!) then make sure that when you get to your bridal suite you have a ‘hangover meal’ waiting for you. Many times, couples are so busy that they barely have time to eat. Why not have a meal waiting for you? It can be anything from the…

Some of us dream of beach weddings. The weddings where our toes are deep in the sand while dancing under the stars with the ocean providing just the right ounce of breeze. At the same time, we’re also that bride who dreams of an elegant wedding with all the effortlessly lush bells and whistles. We hear ya, girlfriend! Emily & Will’s beach wedding, is all the dreams! And we’re so excited to share it with you. Welcoming the guests in style with all the local goodies and a Turkish Towel from Gerdu Interior. Emily’s timeless dress by Saachin & Babi had been customized to remove some of the under layers to keep her cool on the beach. The creamy tones of Emily’s bouquet by Maria Limon complimented Sanara‘s minimalist interior and the soft textures played contrast on the geometric lines found all around the hotel. Following ceremony, in true Tulum Fashion, Emily & Will chose bicycles in lieu of a getaway car. It allowed them cherished time alone, and a few stolen kisses. want to hear them play? we have it highlighted under “Tulum” on IG Photography: Melissa Marshall
