Intimate Villa Wedding in Playa del Carmen, felicidades Tayla and Shaun!

We are so grateful to have hosted Tayla and Shaun’s wedding at Villa la Joya, Playa del Carmen, so much amor and so many beautiful details. This is a case of a happy ending arising from tough obstacles as they had their original wedding plans canceled for Covid! The pandemic brought this beautiful couple to us and we were delighted to make their intimate destination wedding dreams finally come true. We know the photos will inspire you, such a beautiful love story! Let’s have a look!

Why did you choose Mexico for your destination wedding? What made you decide on Villa La Joya?

10 years ago, Mexico was our first holiday and we both said to each other on that holiday, “We will get married here one day” A friend of a friend from England showed me pictures of Villa la Joya after I had already planned my destination wedding, I was filled with so much regret, then covid hit out the blue and my wedding plans were all cancelled. I knew this was the moment! I switched all my plans and followed my dream of getting married at Villa la Joya. I love the quote “que sera sera” (what will be will be) and everything happens for a reason, so really everything fell into place just how it was meant to be. - Bride Tayla

Small family wedding ceremony in Playa del Carmen: Cozy elegance celebrating love

The morning of the wedding brought sunshine and joy to Playa del Carmen as the girls got ready together and enjoyed a “bridesmaid first look”. A very handsome little boy got a “first look” at his mommy the bride too, we got a little misty with these emotional moments. Tayla was absolutely stunning in a fabulous gown by Zavana Bridal, breathtaking really and the photos of her together with her baby and simply magic.

The theme of the day was white and gold with beautiful white roses from Cherry Blossom Florists bringing their elegance and aroma. This was an intimate affair, only the closest friends and family sharing in the celebration as Tayla and Shaun exchanged vows by the sea under a rose-covered arch. We adore a small wedding, there is such a feeling of warmth and a special vibe when love is celebrated with the inner circle.

Intimate Playa del Carmen wedding reception at Villa la Joya, muchas felicidades Tayla and Shaun

Tayla and Shaun inspired us with their portrait session on the terrace at “magic hour”, this is such a fabulous alternative to a “first look” session. The light from the sun couldn’t be outshone by the glow of love from this great couple and Villa la Joya’s architecture was a lovely backdrop for gorge Playa del Carmen wedding photos. 

The wedding reception that followed was intimate, two beautiful tables for loved ones with abundant roses, touches of gold and super cute mini Don Julio bottles. Moving speeches, emotional first dance and a good time was had by all. This was a very special event and we thank Tayla and Shaun for inviting us to the celebration. We wish all three of you a wonderful life together full of happiness and joy!
