Spectacular & Stylish Mexico Destination Wedding

We’re headed to beautiful Mexico today for Leslie and Graham’s Acre Baja wedding in Los Cabos, which was held on the 16th November 2019. Their day was nothing short of spectacular! A real destination wedding for guests to take a very memorable trip, especially now having gone through the pandemic.

There is so much style in their day. From their gorgeous attire choices to the stunning pampas grass arrangements and metal hexagon backdrop. I love that the backdrop was used in the ceremony and then again behind the sweetheart table, such an ingenious way of maximising decoration. Also, look out for lovely tile place names, clear table numbers and stunning lighting come evening.

Acre Baja Wedding

The Vision

When asked by our wonderful wedding planner what our main goal for our wedding was, I quickly answered that my husband and I wanted to feel like guests at our wedding and not mystical creatures that our guests only caught occasional glimpses of from a distance.

Right away I knew a destination wedding would be the perfect fit. Not only could we enjoy a fun vacation, we also would get the opportunity to enjoy it with our closest family and friends. Ultimately we selected Acre Baja, which provided a perfect location to have a small intimate wedding, while feeling grand and spacious.

We are thankful that we got to spend so much time with each guest and have the opportunity to connect with everyone during such an important life event. Now that we are in COVID I am even more thankful that I got to experience such an amazing and fun trip with so many people we cared about, we were truly blessed.

The Planning Process

When we started planning our wedding, the to-do that I took the most time and care with picking was our venue. We found the perfect location at Acre Baja in the beautiful San Jose del Cabo. I fell in love with Acre’s luscious greenery that makes you feel like you are in a tropical oasis, paired with its modern design and natural elements that added the sophistication and uniqueness of the venue.

It is truly such a visual treat to be at Acre. Every corner and nook has such alluring and elegant design elements that shows how much time and creativity was put into designing a lush sanctuary.

With Acre as our venue, we knew that our photos would have the most impressive backdrop and convey an earthy elegance.

The Venue

We loved the look of Acre and wanted our wedding to further enhance the Acre vision. We love the colour, yet the easy-going feel of a tropical background. We loved the balance between nature and the geometric tiles and cool concrete used throughout the venue. Our vision was to create a fun going and light environment while having a clean and timeless wedding.

The Styling & Decor

As for décor, we wanted simple, soft and natural elements with touches of colour to complement the design of Acre, but not take away or distract from the beauty that Acre has to offer.

The Food

And finally one of the strongest elements of Acre is the most amazing and fresh farm-to-table food. There is not one food item that they create that won’t leave you craving for more.

Forget the boring and bland wedding buffet, our guests to this day talk about how delicious the food was at our wedding! Even as the bride and groom, we made it a point to truly enjoy a full meal and every single item that we offered on our wedding day. I cannot wait to go back to Acre and celebrate future wedding anniversaries at my now favourite restaurant.

The Suppliers

When selecting our vendors, we simply selected vendors who had strong portfolios with Acre. Through wedding blogs and social media, we were able to find the best team to help guide us through the wedding planning and the flow of our wedding day.

Believe it or not, our wedding day was the calmest and carefree day I have ever had. Normally I am moving a million miles a minute and hands-on with planning and preparing, but thanks to our skilled wedding planners and our wonderful photographers my husband and I had not one worry and we were truly able to calmly enjoy the day and appreciate every moment.

From the makeup artist, videographers, to the DJ each vendor was so talented and professional and amazing at what they do. From beginning to end, we knew that we were in great hands and that we would have nothing to worry about.

Ultimately our wedding was such a perfect day for the two of us, and we are so thankful to all the individuals who help make that possible. I will cherish these memories and photos for the rest of my life.
