Kailee and Garrett chose Villa la Joya for their destination wedding in Cancun, bringing together timeless style, thoughtful design, and a celebration that felt personal from beginning to end. Planned by Tailor Made Dreams, their wedding balanced elegance with ease, allowing the setting, the experience, and the people gathered to take center stage.

From a calm morning of preparation to a joyful night on the dance floor, the day unfolded naturally, with each moment flowing seamlessly into the next.

Getting Ready Excitement and Anticipation

The day began as Kailee and Garrett prepared, primped and shared moments of peace with their loved ones. Natural light, ocean breezes, and Villa la Joya’s open layout created an unhurried atmosphere, giving the wedding party space to settle in and enjoy the moments leading up to the ceremony.

Garrett and his groomsmen wore classic black tuxedos, setting a timeless tone that carried throughout the day. Kailee’s bridal look was equally refined, a strapless gown with a full skirt, paired with a long veil and a sleek ballerina bun that felt polished, modern, and effortlessly elegant.

A Ceremony on the Villa’s Front Steps

The ceremony took place on Villa la Joya’s iconic front steps, framed by soft white draping and lush floral installations. Green-and-white florals, including sculptural anthurium and soft white blooms, complemented the villa’s architecture without overpowering it.

As Kailee and Garrett exchanged vows, the setting felt intimate and grounded, with their loved ones all around. The design was romantic yet understated, allowing the focus to remain on the couple and the moment they were sharing.

Soft Buttercream Bridesmaids & Thoughtful Details

Kailee was joined by her bridesmaids dressed in soft buttercream gowns, a warm, sunlit choice that paired beautifully with the tropical surroundings. Each carried white calla lilies, echoing the bride’s bouquet and reinforcing the clean, sculptural floral palette seen throughout the day.

Every styling choice felt cohesive and intentional — timeless silhouettes, a restrained color palette, and details chosen to enhance the setting rather than compete with it.

Cocktail Hour by the Sea

Following the ceremony, guests gathered for cocktail hour in a cozy lounge-style seating area overlooking the ocean. Soft white seating, light wood furniture, and simple green-and-white floral accents created a relaxed, inviting space where guests could settle in, connect, and enjoy the transition from ceremony to celebration.

This emphasis on comfort and hospitality set the tone for the evening ahead.

A Communal Reception Experience

Dinner unfolded at long rectangular tables, styled with light wood chairs and low green-and-white centerpieces. Rather than opting for a sweetheart table, Kailee and Garrett chose to sit among their guests, creating a shared, communal dining experience that felt warm and inclusive.

As the evening progressed, heartfelt toasts filled the space with moments of laughter, tears, and genuine emotion that reflected the closeness of the group gathered to celebrate.

Dancing, Celebration, and a Second Look

As night fell, the energy shifted into full celebration. String lights illuminated the courtyard, music filled the air, and guests gathered closely on the dance floor beside the pool.

Kailee changed into a sparkling second dress for the reception, a playful, party-ready look that marked the transition into dancing and late-night celebration. The atmosphere was joyful, intimate, and centered entirely on connection and fun.

A Thoughtfully Planned Destination Wedding

Planned by Tailor Made Dreams, Kailee and Garrett’s wedding reflected a clear vision and careful coordination from start to finish. Every element from the ceremony setup to the flow of the evening worked together seamlessly, creating a day that felt effortless for both the couple and their guests.
