the vision: timeless in the tropics
With the help of Karla Casillas, Madison and John threw the destination wedding of their dreams at the lush, palm-covered oasis of Acre Resort in Cabo San Lucas—and it was the perfect mix of elegance, fun, and tropical design magic. They brought their closest friends and family down to Mexico for a full weekend of celebration, and every part of their experience felt intentional and stylish. The couple spent the weekend at the Hilton Los Cabos, where they hosted a beachfront welcome dinner overlooking the ocean. On the wedding day, guests were transported to Acre—a modern jungle-inspired resort with treehouse rooms, organic gardens, and lush greenery in every direction.
Madison’s vision was a clean and timeless black and white color palette accented by the natural greens of the venue. From the palm grove ceremony to the poolside cocktail hour with mariachi music and signature drinks, every moment felt beautifully designed but never overdone. The reception was set under glowing string lights, with candlelit tables, chic florals by Los Cabos Event Rentals, and one epic dance party (DJ Adam Morgan brought the energy).
a boozy escort wall
We love wedding favors that guests will actually use, and these mini tequila bottles are the perfect example! Whether they took the shot right then and there or took it home as a souvenir, these babies weren't going to waste. And the best part? They were also the escort cards!
the stationery
Modern and minimal, the couple opted for a stationery suite that centered on photos that set the scene for the day to come. From beachy portraits on their Save the Date and palm trees blowing in the wind, these little hints got guests excited about the tropical destination.
the fashion
Madison wore a breathtaking silk charmeuse gown by Newhite that brought a modern flair to the big day. Her bridesmaids picked up on the satin in her gown with mix-and-match sand-colored slip dresses. John and his men kept things classic with matching black suits and left their white shirts slightly unbuttoned for a beachy vibe.
the first look
With the chiseled sandstone wall of the venue as their backdrop, John waited patiently for a tap on his shoulder. When he turned around, he marveled at his bride and her gorgeous gown before pulling her in close for a kiss.
a cigar roller
Looking for something to entertain your guests, but dancers aren't your thing? Take it from us, everyone loves a live cigar roller. Even if you don't smoke, it's a vibe.
words of wisdom from the pros
Pick a location that feels like a getaway and plan around creating a full experience—not just one day. Make it fun, keep it you, and let your planner bring the vision to life!
