Riviera Maya Wedding at Villa la Joya of Jillian & Marko

The Riviera Maya wedding at Villa la Joya of Jillian and Marko was a family celebration of LOVE and we are delighted to share this real wedding with you. This is one of those perfect wedding days we always remember, full of love, light and authentic joy with unique details creating a magical setting. 

Jillian and Marko chose a destination wedding in Mexico in order to have an extended celebration with their family and friends. With pre-wedding events like a catamaran cruise at sunset, it was the ideal way to bring everyone together and create memories for a lifetime. Everybody had time to really get to know one another and the wedding day itself was an intimate and cozy event full of warmth and amor.

Riviera Maya Private Villa Wedding: First Look and the World Disappears

Bride Jillian is truly stunning and ST Makeup Artistry of Playa del Carmen created a makeup and hair design that enhanced all her natural beauty. Her incredible dress from Pronovias was a unique geometric masterpiece, elegant and sexy! The “first look” photos with Marko looking handsome in his grey suit and pink tie are priceless. Bride and groom saw each other in their wedding finery and the world simply disappeared as they gazed into each other’s eyes. Swoon.

Jillian and Marko’s Villa la Joya Riviera Maya Wedding: Geometry and Color Pops

We love working with Paradise Wedding and Events, they are tops in Riviera Maya wedding coordinators. They worked together with Cherry Blossom Florists in setting the scene for love at Jillian and Marko’s wedding at Villa la Joya. We absolutely ADORED the geometric arch at the altar with the pops of color from the variety of pink flowers. The geometric patterns from the dress repeated in the decor was marvelous. 

The ceremony was a family affair with Jillian’s brother officiating, making it very personal and touching (yes, we always have tissues of course). Pretty little flower girls and handsome ring bearers for “security”, bridesmaids in gorgeous teal gowns and moving vows, thank you to Jillian and Marko for sharing this moment with us.
