If you’ve been dreaming of “I do’s” in one of the most romantic and tropical destinations, you’re about to swoon over Winta and Joel’s magical Akiin Beach Club wedding in Tulum! Inspired by the Tulum sunsets, the couple used hues of peach, burnt orange, rose gold, ivory, and a few pops of black — and we are swooning over every bit of it, especially the arrangements Floweriize created for the day. Winta’s Pronovias gown was the perfect balance of elegant and boho, and her groom looked handsome dressed in a classic suit and bowtie from The Black Tux. We love a fashion-forward couple! Start scrolling through these images captured by Kape Photography for all the Tulum vibes, a gorgeous reception set-up, party under disco balls, and even more!

The Couple:

Winta & Joel

The Wedding:

Akiin Beach Club, Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

I knew I wanted a curve-hugging fit and flare dress, but would have never thought I’d end up in a full lace gown. I like clean-lines and simple elegance. I also quickly learned that crepe was unforgiving and I would not feel comfortable in the materiel all night. As soon as I tried on the Pronovias Desmonda gown and added the detachable train, I knew that was it! I had it tailored to be a bit more fit and flare. It was the most perfect light and airy beach dress.

Since the wedding ceremony was on the beach, we got customize wooden fans and placed one on each ceremony chair — both practical and cute! We saw several guests use them on the beach the next day too

We had our pastors and friends co-lead the ceremony. We also did communion with all our guests which we thought was a special and unusual touch for a beach-side wedding.

Karla (our photographer) and her team are simply the BEST! She was so friendly and sweet. We spoke with her several times before the wedding day. She also provided the most amazing couples guide with all sorts of tips and “nice to knows” when we booked her. We referred to it often and found it really helpful during the planning process. She sends out a really thorough survey a week or so before the wedding asking all the details about which photos we wanted to capture, who was who in the bridal party, etc. She made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera and the end-result (our gallery) speaks for itself. 10/10 recommend Karla and her team. She is friendly, professional, and just so dang talented.

We also had an amazing videographer, SeaLove wedding films. They worked so well with Karla and the Kape team.

Ok, why do I feel like I've seen this before? Maybe it's because all the weddings lately have been on the beach with similar arrangements...

The flowers are cute. The groom knows he won the jackpot lol

Our wedding colors were peach, ivory, burnt orange, rose/blush, rose gold, gold, copper, with a couple pops of black! Our biggest inpso for wedding design and decor was beautiful Tulum sunsets. We wanted to compliment the boho rustic vibe of the environment and venue.

Looks nice, so this will sound a little picky. Her arms are a little to big to be out, and the photographer did an amazing job of making them look not so big in many of the photos. He does look as if he is in heaven and so happy and in love.

Congratulations to them!

Wedding tasting was hands down our most favorite wedding planning activity. We did a wedding planing visit in October 2019 and met with several vendors including enjoying three tastings! One at Akiin, of course. And another two at venues we were considering for our welcome reception. Ultimately, we decided to go with Mia Beach Club and Restaurant for our day before soiree.

Our menu included a watermelon, feta, and arugula salad. We served a vegetarian lasagna for the non-meat eaters and a beautiful prime rib/chicken thigh combo accompanied with mashed potatoes and roasted baby veggies. We also has a sweet and tart sorbet trio between dinner and cake/churros.

I like the color scheme, the flowers, the decor and its placement. It looks relaxed but not tacky, boho chic with a good balance. Also, it looks like they had fun.

Good thing that I did not get invited. I would have found a way to eat both the vegetarian and regular menu lol

She looks beautiful, he looks older (no shade) for some reason.

You can feel the love in these pics. Congrats!

Wow. This marriage to has be divinely ordained because most of our world radically changed within hours of March 13, 2020.

Setting and colors were lovely and they look madly in love.

May their union be as fiercely covered as their wedding date. Congratulations!

I want to love it but I feel like they’re attire doesn’t match the venue. I also hate to see men not wearing socks lol I don’t want to see your ankles.

Vision was completely and perfectly executed. Those floral arrangements captured the essence of a beautiful sunset. The venues fit the planned aesthetics. What was most impressive is that photography! She did the hell out of thaet!

I love the beach wedding, and color theme they used.

I’m not really a fan of beach or destination weddings but this looks well-executed. It’s a relaxed vibe but still a very tasteful wedding.

I love her bouquet and the reception decor is beautiful. I’m not a huge fan of her dress. It’s pretty but not flattering for her figure.

Nice.

There are several elements that work and are lovely and several that don’t. I just can’t drum up any wow excitement. Might just be me.

Lovely wedding. You can feel through the pictures the genuine connection with the couple. They appear equally yoked down to their ashy ankles. I'll only minus one point for him not having socks on since it seems they wanted to show off matching tattoo's.








The font commenting about brides arms needs to post selfie. Then make appointment for some new glasses. Of all the brides who have had ill fitting gowns who may have deserved a comment there was nothing wrong with this brides body.
