If there’s one thing we’ve confirmed over years of experience at Momentos, it’s that every couple is unique and knows how to communicate their style best on their wedding day. Chloe and Christopher were no exception, captivating us with their magic and clarity about wanting an intimate, simple, elegant DIY wedding.

This celebration would fully reflect the best of their love story.

Planning a DIY Destination Wedding

Chloe stood out as an exceptionally organized bride, fully committed to designing a wedding with wonderful DIY details. At Momentos, we took on the task of managing the coordination of their big day, ensuring that her hard work shone through.

We took over the wedding planning two months in advance to make sure every moment, setting, and detail was executed perfectly. Despite the short timeframe, communication with the couple was always exceptional, making the process unique, fun, and very emotional.

The couple’s priority was to maintain simple and elegant decor, enjoy delicious food, and have memorable moments with their family. Chloe impressed us with her clear, determined, and organized approach, which was key to making the wedding exactly to their liking and ensuring everything ran smoothly.

We loved working closely with this incredibly organized couple, it was a true gift to be part of their significant day.

The I DO

Chloe and Christopher chose Acre Resort as their wedding venue, a charming place with very beautiful surroundings, plus a very cool atmosphere spiced up with colors, patterns, and more. Every moment of this wedding was celebrated in an iconic space, which we loved!

Despite the tight schedule, we managed to coordinate a day that was nothing short of breathtaking. The first look was one of our favorite parts —a moment where both exchanged vows in an intimate setting, creating an emotional and beautiful lead-up to a romantic and surprise-filled day.

The ceremony on the Lovers Lawn at Acre Resort captivated us with their music choices and all the unfolding moments. Christopher entered to “Oceans,” while Chloe walked down the aisle to Pachelbel’s “Canon in D.” After the ceremony, they kicked off their celebration to “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” by Natalie Cole, setting the stage for a beautiful celebration of their love story.

The fact that this DIY wedding was an intimate, simple, and elegant event allowed the setting to shine brilliantly, enhanced by the subtle and exquisite details Chloe brought to life. We loved seeing a mix of minimalist centerpieces, crystal elements, and white accents that highlighted the timeless essence of this destination wedding.

For the décor, we used a color scheme of white and ivory, a hallmark of the elegance of this destination wedding in Los Cabos. What we liked the most was the design of the welcome board that we personalized with the face of their pet, super important to them. Finally, the single flower bud vases were the subtle touch that complemented the aesthetics of this I DO.

The food delighted all the guests during the reception at The Blue Room. The first course featured a chopped salad, cheddar biscuits, and catch of the day ceviche; the second course included roasted cauliflower, skirt steak arrachera, and half-roasted chicken, adding flavor to the evening; and for dessert, a chocolate tart and frozen key lime pie provided a sweet end to a delightful feast.

Trends We Love From This DIY Wedding

Every wedding experience at Momentos is enchanting and fills us with excitement.

This time, we hope the trend of classy weddings gains even more strength, along with personalized stationery that matches the couple’s personality and the intention and luxury of intimate weddings to create more meaningful experiences. Chloe and Christopher did it perfectly!
