A Few of our Favorite Weddings in Tulum

Kima Tulum is an under-the-radar jungle oasis just outside of Tulum’s city center. This modern villa is located on a sprawling private estate, a world apart from the energetic hustle of Tulum, but still close enough to enjoy the city’s crystal blue beaches. This off-grid wedding venue is a design-lover’s dream come true: the beautiful, white-washed walls give the exterior a warm, Mediterranean feel, while the interiors blend Ibizan style and rich Mayan culture with natural, locally sourced materials.

This Tulum venue offers a perfect alfresco setting for a destination wedding, featuring rich jungle greens and vibrant textures throughout the idyllic space. And with three luxurious guest suites, a stunning lap pool, and private gardens throughout the property, you’re able to enjoy a completely private stay and keep the party going long after you’ve said “I do.”

Katherine & Daniel’s Wedding

Earthy, modern, sophisticated, unique — this stunning destination elopement at Kima Tulum was all of those things and more.

To create a one-of-a-kind luxury wedding at this completely off-grid and remote venue we created a unique color palette that would play off the rich, jungle greens. Using Kima Tulum as our inspiration, we worked with Best Day Ever Floral Design to incorporate bold, dark grey, blues throughout the floral elements and tablescape to create contrast against the greenery in Tulum while complimenting the cool, modern lines of the venue. And to play up the earthy feels of Tulum, we sourced unique, soft black rentals from Archive Rentals to help modernize our palette. With black fringe chargers at every table setting, muted black taper holders, dark rattan-style hanging lanterns, and black-framed wishbone chairs, we loved incorporating a dark accent to make the design pop.

We utilized the venue’s locally-sourced wood tables for the elopement reception, but we added our own touch of intimacy by adding overhead string lighting and hanging pendants to illuminate and elevate our dinner nook. And with added terracotta, brass, and sand tablescape details, all of the tablescape design elements worked together to create a romantic intimate vibe — perfectly capturing the warm feel of an evening under the stars in Tulum’s coastal jungle.

Paulina & Gabe’s Wedding

An Intimate Jungle Paradise Wedding in Tulum

This destination wedding at Kima Tulum was so special, because it was not easy to get to. After months of planning, venue changes, replanning, and so many pivots in the face of a global pandemic, Paulina and Gabe’s jungle wedding at this off-grid resort ended up feeling exactly like it was meant to be.

For Paulina and Gabe, we love the unique challenge of creating a wedding design that would contrast the jungle while complimenting it at the same time. We built a custom modern, minimalist frame for the ceremony backdrop, providing a sense of structure against the wild and lush jungle background. While the rigid shape of the arch worked in contrast to the wild feel of the jungle, the dark wood complemented the natural setting perfectly. To build on the idea of our design working in contrast and in tandem with the jungle setting, we worked with Best Day Ever Floral Design to juxtapose bleached and fresh palms, creating a unique ceremony design.

For the reception, we drew our inspiration from Kima Tulum: a luxury wedding venue in the heart of an off-grid setting. A place completely unexpected, and completely enchanting. We believe intimate romance can be found in this most exotic places, so we wanted to elevate the magic this secret Todos Santos wedding venue by making the reception to look like it grew out of the jungle. All of the florals on the tablescape are inspired by the jungle. And to elevate the wild, jungle feel we dusty pink and soft coral colors throughout the modern tablescape design — matching the bold colors of the tropical anthuriums. We loved playing with height and dimension for this design too, choosing tall taper candles to match the oversized palms. We loved every detail of this intimate reception design, from the pink crystal glassware to the rattan fringe chargers, from the string lights to the modern place settings, everything worked in tandem to set the tone for a perfect evening under the stars dancing to a local mariachi band.

We work hard for our clients. From a complete replan and postponements to the completely remote venue, from the hurricane and storms rolling through the city to building structures in the middle of the jungle, we mean it when we say you won’t have to worry about a thing on your wedding day. We’re so thankful for our clients who trust us 110% to plan, design, coordinate, and take care of them — even in the most remote and hidden places.
