Here’s Proof That Beach Settings and Black Tie Attire Are a Winning Combo!

The Planning
The Inspiration
For our Rosewood Mayakoba editorial, we went with a black tie tropical wedding. Although the venue is beachfront in Mexico, we wanted to bring in black tie and luxurious elements instead of your standard boho wedding on the beach! We wanted it to be upscale, and every detail to add that black tie is possible in a beach setting.
The Venue
The Rosewood Mayakoba is one of the most beautiful and luxurious venues I've ever seen. It is acres and acres of beaches, rivers, lagoons, caverns, etc. It is sprawling and incredible to take in. We wanted the nature to be enhanced through Kailee's upscale design. Megan with Peach Paper Design also put together the most beautiful invitation suite that truly brought the whole vision together. One of our favorite touches of the day was the envelope liner- it features the inside of a Rosewood tree in honor of the venue's name!
The Details
Florals & Decor
Truth & Blooms sought out florals from Mexico, and it truly brought the tropical feel to life! We had stunning tones of marigold, lavender, toffee, and blush that popped off of the dark green lagoon background. We had to end the day with a boat send off through the lagoon- adorned in flowers of course!
Favorite Design Element
From Kailee Roberts- I wanted the ceremony to feel a little more light and airy, and the tablescape to feel a tad darker and chic. We were able to accomplish this with white & cane chairs for the ceremony, and black wishbone chairs, flatware, and fringe chargers for the reception- all from Archive Rentals! To wrap up the tablescape design, I brought in fun green toned prints with the table runner and napkins, and a beautiful lavender menu from Peach Paper Design.
