Destination Wedding in Playa del Carmen - Shambra and Matthew’s Cozy Family Gathering of Love

This destination wedding in Playa del Carmen may have been small but the love was mighty and overflowing as Shambra and Matthew tied the knot at Villa la Joya. This was a cozy and intimate family affair with the couple’s four adorable children celebrating mom and dad’s big day while Matthew’s father officiated the ceremony. With emotional moments and a whole lot of fun, we were honored to host this event and welcome this lovely family to Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen.

Destination Wedding Trends in Fashion and Decor at Villa la Joya

Shambra and Matthew’s Villa la Joya wedding was SO PRETTY, soft and pink and elegant with a warm and welcoming feel. Bride Shambra was just glowing, her natural beauty and blonde good looks were enhanced by makeup artist Zoe Elizabeth and echoed in her three daughters. The getting ready time with the girls was such fun in their matching floral robes, special moments shared that they will never forget. With their lacy white dresses next to mom’s gorgeous gown they made the prettiest little bridal party ever. Matthew and his son were looking sharp in blue suits to round out the gorgeous family fashions.

One of our favorite Playa del Carmen florists created a magical scene for this destination wedding ceremony. Pink and white flowers flowing throughout the garden, a stunning arch and an aisle lined in flower petals, Vanessa Jaimes floral design definitely knows how to set a romantic scene. The table runner of flowers just floating over the edge really knocked us out and was perfect for the warm vibe of this intimate Villa la Joya wedding reception.

The wedding reception dinner of surf and turf was catered by Gourmet Soberanis, a delicious celebration of cuisine under the fairy lights in the garden.
