Viva La Mexico-- Honeymoon Style

 

 

 

For our honeymoon, we choose to go to Mexico! And I'm so glad we did. We had such an amazing time. But in all that fun and relaxation, I totally forgot that I had a blog to run. I can a lot of cell phone shots but no REAL photos of the week's attire. I know I know. I should totally be ashamed.

 

 

But...

 

I did remember to get a few shots in on the first night!!!

 

Woo-Hoo!!!

 

Where we stayed: There's no other way to do Mexico than an All-Inclusive Resort. You got EVERYTHING! Our Travel Agent Took care of all the details but we choose Excellence Riviera Cancun Resort in Riviera Maya.

The resort was absolutely breath-taking! Despite the usual no drinking the tap water, I had NO complaints. Our travel agent arrangement that we had a Junior Swim Up Room. This means as soon as we walked out of our side door, we were right at the pool.

 

The resort features a number of restaurants (anywhere from Indian and Thai to Mexican and Seafood).

They also had 24 hour room service, unlimited mini bar options (with full bottles of liquor) and a full beach just right outside the resort. The even had a 24 hour coffee/dessert bar.

I mean this place had it all!!! I wasn't ready to leave.

 

But enough of that. Let's get to the clothing.

 

 

Dinner had a dress code, of course. So I made sure I put a little effort in at night.

This cute little dress fit me perfectly. It was super cute and sexy at the same time. The Bonus was that it had extra skirting underneath (crinoline built in) to keep it flared. I LOVE THAT!!!

Our Wedding Day!

 

I'm sure you've noticed that I've been absent for the last few weeks. If you didn't, shame on you! lol..

Well, I got married a week ago!!! Yay!!!

Our wedding happened in Miami on September 5th.

Everything went as well as I could hope for. I worked with amazing vendors and everything went the way I wanted. I'm overly joyed.

It was a stressful process planning it all out (with no Wedding Planner might I add). It ultimately was a day filled with God, Family. Friends & Love. I wouldn't want it any other way.

 

 

 

We haven't gotten all the official pictures back as of yet, but I figured I'd give you all a peek into the day! All photos were provided by our Wedding Photographer: +Nate.Veal@natevealphotography.com 

I hope you enjoy!!

 

Shalena of Angel Love Beauty Slayed my face for the wedding. She also did all my bridesmaids.

He never stopped smiling that day!!!

My bridesmaids and I.. Don't these colors just sing!!!! The woman on my right with the Purple is my Maid of Honor.  My dress is by Julieta/Mori Lee Bridal. I added a custom sash and sleeves. Their dresses are by David's Bridal (Vera Wang Collection)

Priceless

 

My cake! That I'm so sad I forgot to cut into. But I do have pictures on the way (faux cake cutting :)) My cake stand was custom made by a shop on Etsy and the Cake Topper was made custom by another vendor I met on Facebook.



The same vendor that customized my cake topper did my shoes. These are made by Badgley Mishka and customized with Crystals. (THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN BY THE VENDOR THAT CUSTOMIZED THE SHOES)

I loved the simple elegance of the tables and settings. The flowers were done by my Aunt (who has her own floral business in Jacksonville ,FL) and the rest of the tables were done by my Mother. (it's her thing)

I hope you enjoyed this small glimpse into our Big Day. Whenever I receive more pictures, I'll be sure to share with you all. You can view photos of guests and other events through our wedding hashtag on Facebook and Instagram. Just enter: #allhailthekings2016 or #demkings2016
