Rodrigo Mora’s Tropical Wedding Design for Estrella and Samuel at Chablé Maroma
A Riviera Maya beach ceremony and tropical reception designed and styled by Rodrigo Mora, with wildflower installations and white tropical florals by Moni Junco, photographed by Camila Urrea.
A Riviera Maya celebration conceived as a tropical experience
For the destination wedding of Estrella and Samuel at Chablé Maroma, wedding planner and stylist Rodrigo Mora imagined a celebration where the landscape was as important as the furnishings. Tropical foliage, natural fibres and pale flowers reflected the resort's setting between the Mayan jungle and the Caribbean. The event was documented by photographer Camila Urrea, while Moni Junco supplied the wedding florals.
A beachfront ceremony framed in white
A romantic arch of delicate white flowers framed the sea, while natural-textured chairs and small arrangements softened the ceremony route. The styling avoided heavy architectural gestures, allowing the palms, sand and water to remain visible. The floral arrangements introduced movement and atmosphere without obscuring the tropical backdrop.
A refined lounge among the palms
The same pale palette continued through the cocktail and lounge settings. Light fabrics, low furniture and garden flowers created a welcoming feeling in the open-air surroundings. Rather than imposing a formal indoor style, the furnishings were selected to sit naturally within the landscape.
A canopy of flowers, spheres and light
For dinner, the design transformed into a tropical, almost theatrical reception. Layers of foliage and white flowers were suspended above the dining tables, joined by reflective gold and silver spheres. As the light changed, the arrangement created a subtly disco-inspired atmosphere without losing the visual language of the beach ceremony.
Delicate details at the wedding table
Natural textiles, pale place settings and close floral arrangements completed the atmosphere. The design balanced exuberant overhead botanical forms with restrained details at each guest's place, creating a sense of continuity throughout the reception.
