Destination Wedding Trends 2022: How does the pandemic affect your beach wedding in Mexico?
Planning a destination wedding in 2022 is an AMAZING idea, we all need light and love and sunshine after the last two years of pandemic. Many couples postponed their weddings during the height of covid but now that travel restrictions are lifting, we are delighted to be welcoming everyone back to celebrate love with a Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen wedding!
So what does a 2022 destination wedding in Playa del Carmen look like? There are a few adjustments to be made to “the new normal”, but nothing that will stop you from having the wedding of your dreams. Here are some of our pandemic solutions for planning your big day.
Get outside! The great outdoors is THE place for 2022 weddings
Outdoor gatherings remain a priority for healthy events and that means nothing has changed at Villa la Joya. Our Playa del Carmen weddings in the garden by the sea or the majestic front entrance are perfect for pandemic safety. Outdoor weddings are what we love and your guests will feel fantastic in the ocean breezes.
Of course even outdoor spaces need extra care and the sanitary measures at Villa la Joya remain strict. The health of our staff and our guests is a priority and we follow recommended protocols for your protection and peace of mind.

Out with the old and in with the new: Make your own traditions and seize the day
With all the changes in the world, couples are having to adjust and shift and be flexible with their wedding plans. We think this is EXCITING, not a burden! It’s a chance to throw out the old rules of weddings and make your own new traditions and untraditional choices. Be innovative with your selection of entertainment, decor, fashion, you define your own trends for destination weddings in 2022! Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen can’t wait to hear your ideas and brainstorm together to create your own unique wedding day.
The tastiest trend we are seeing is the shift to culinary experiences that go beyond the standard catering menu. Gourmet chefs in Playa del Carmen have a lot of surprises in store and there are specialty chefs for all your foodie requests. Of course, we like to recommend adding a Mexican touch, the churro carts by Los Pockets are always a huge hit!

Love is always on trend: Your beach wedding ceremony is the main event
Putting everything else aside, what we have learned during the pandemic is that LOVE is all that matters. Your ceremony is the chance to share your feelings and express yourself before the ones you love most. You may choose a dear friend or family member to officiate your destination wedding, this adds a personal touch that always has us reaching for the tissues. Everyone on your special guest list will appreciate sharing the emotional experience with you.
