Alexa And Derek's Charming Wedding In Tulum

Our wedding wasn’t just about celebrating our love; it was about honoring how our journey began. My partner and I connected through a shared passion for traveling, discovering new cultures, and creating memories around the world. Our first vacation together just two short months after we started dating- a bold choice indeed! We continued to travel several times a year, and to no surprise, got engaged in Italy amidst the timeless charm of Tuscany's stone villas and sprawling vineyards.

When it came time to plan our wedding, we knew we wanted it to reflect the beauty and spirit of adventure that brought us together. However, we also understood that this would be a huge challenge for us, and we would need extensive help. Fidan at Designed Dream was able to make this vision a reality and organized a truly unforgettable adventure: an intimate destination wedding in the heart of the Mexican jungle.

Thanks to Designed Dream Events, all our amazing vendors came together to create an incredibly stylish event that surpassed our expectations. The day went off without a hitch, which is a direct reflection of our wedding planner’s keen attention to detail and coordination.

The location was a dream—a lush, green paradise where nature felt like an honored guest at our celebration. Arcadia Events Tulum had the perfect space for us, featuring stunning stone architecture and sculptures. The venue felt like the perfect bridge between two chapters of our love story. The stone archway at our ceremony echoed the timeless charm of Tuscany’s old stone walls against a backdrop of greenery, while being beautifully rooted in the vibrant heart of the Mayan jungle. The ceremony felt almost dreamlike, and time stood still. As the sun filtered through the creeping vines and trees of the jungle, we exchanged vows surrounded by our closest loved ones.

Our reception carried the same magical energy. Rustic decor and ceramic art blended harmoniously with the jungle’s raw beauty, and guests enjoyed high-quality authentic Mexican cuisine paired with tropical cocktails.

A live saxophone player Ariel brought incredible vibrancy to the evening, seamlessly transitioning from smooth, romantic melodies during dinner to lively tunes that got everyone dancing later in the night. To make the experience truly special, he even learned new songs from our favourite musician specifically for us—creating a personalized soundtrack that captured the essence of who we are as a couple. Our jungle wedding was a celebration of love, nature, and the stories that brought us here.
