ten days of tropical wedding bliss with loved ones. palm trees swaying and soft lace scallops that seem to mimic the swirls of tide pools just offshore. a sandy wooden aisle runner that looks like a boardwalk. dried pampas grass mixed with fresh flowers around eclectic ceremony seating. bright blue water and light blue skies, this punta cana coastline wedding ceremony serves as endless beach wedding inspiration for those dreaming of getting married somewhere warm.

#aandbabe makenzie started her day off with the sparkle of the glistening ocean and her glamorous sequin bridal robe. getting ready in ample natural light, makenzie completed her elegant bridal look in ‘emmanuelle’ by anais anette with a long tulle veil. from the thin straps and illusion v-neckline to the open back and center slit, this modern lace wedding dress was perfect for their dominican republic beach wedding.

making his way to the ceremony in style via a golf cart, kameron was eager to see makenzie walk down the aisle. meeting kameron at their triangle ceremony arch, these two joined hands and exchanged vows as their wedding party stood by their side. with kameron's groomsmen in white button down shirts and navy blue vests and makenzie’s bridesmaids in a variety of light pink dress styles, their wedding party's attire complimented the soft pink and neutral wedding florals.

with her bridal bouquet in hand and a champagne glass in the other, makenzie was nothing but smiles as she celebrated her new title as mrs. from golden hour wedding photos on a secluded part of the beach to standing in front of giant ‘LOVE’ marquee letters, their destination wedding day was a huge success. makenzie recalls just how fun the whole day was and relishes in the relaxed wedding they created for themselves and their guests. “i did my own hair and makeup and had an effortless day with my babes!” from small details like her simple bridal braid to the big decisions like picking hard rock hotel and casino punta cana for their dreamy destination wedding, makenzie and kameron planned a stunning carribean wedding celebration full of white sand beaches and unforgettable moments with their closest friends and family.
