Welcome back! I hope everyone had a deliciously long holiday weekend filled with family and friends…
Today we’re warming you back into the workweek with our third and final post in the Maroma Monday series. As you may have read, every Monday of this month I’ve been sharing tidbits from my press trip down to Maroma , a luxe little spot located in the lush Mayan Riviera region of Mexico, where I had the pleasure of staying at the relaxing resort as a reporter/”wedding guest.” {I know, it’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it}.
Before the beautiful wedding you will see today, we spent four days on the gorgeous property snorkeling, taking cooking classes and lounging on the cabana sprinkled beach. We even witnessed a special Mayan ceremony . By the time the wedding rolled around, the guests and I had enjoyed a perfect vacay, so it was hard to imagine there was anything more to come… But like all things Maroma , the traditional wedding ceremony and reception on the beach was the perfect mix of relaxed luxury and local charm, perfectly planned down to the smallest detail. Take a peek…
As you probably noticed from last week’s post, the Mayan ceremony the day before the wedding was merely a nod to the culture and tradition of the region. Katherine and Ryan exchanged rows the next day beneath a beautiful floral canopy on the beach. {BTW, I loved the lucite-enclosed orchids and ghost chairs, which were both practical and chic for a beach wedding}.
Following the heartwarming ceremony, guests were invited through the resort’s candlelit paths for a poolside cocktail hour. While light bites and anejo were served to traditional Mexican music, the couple snuck away for portraits around the striking grounds. {To see these beautiful nooks and crannies, be sure to refer to our first Maroma Monda post }.
Finally, we moved back onto the beach for a beautiful dinner reception. The long banquet table looked absolutely stunning with lush, bright florals, natural linens and warmly glowing lanterns. To the left of the dining area was a chic lounge, an enclave of white furniture, hot pink pillows and luminescent orbs placed in the sand. I loved the refined yet relaxed vibe of the party, which was perfectly represented by the dinner bar, a vintage armoir placed into the sand, flanked with palms and illuminated with warm light. It gave off a luxe but relaxed feel, welcoming guests to imbibe in the decadent meal, but then let their hair down to the post-dinner dance party that lasted well into the evening.
To learn more about how you can host your destination wedding, honeymoon or other milestone event at Maroma , be sure to visit the resort’s Web site or contact their amazing special events team. {Let them know Merci sent you – and get ready to be welcomed into the warm Maroma family}.
