It's Monday, and if we can't take a real vacay to somewhere beautiful + tropical, a mental get-away to sunny Sayulita, Mexico will just have to do! Lucky for us, Jessie + Brendan's stunning, romantic wedding is all the eye candy we need to jump start our week, and we're pretty sure you'll agree in a matter of moments.

Since these two lovebirds fell for Sayulita long ago, they knew they wanted to bring all of their family and friends to their favorite beachside Mexican village to celebrate their nuptials. Jessie tells us, Brendan and I wanted our wedding to be a weekend long celebration that felt like a laid back vacation. We are beach people. so we always knew we wanted to get married outside near the ocean. We actually booked our wedding site unseen, the first time we saw our venue in person was the day before the wedding and it made it that much more magical and exciting. Don Pedro's was out of a movie, a lantern filled palapa sitting atop a cliff overlooking the ocean, it truly set the tone for the entire day. Brendan and I did not want to feel as if we were on display, we wanted to make sure we enjoyed the wedding as much as our guests, so instead of taking photos after the ceremony, we went straight into cocktail hour. It was so nice to be able to chat with everyone and greet them before we even sat down for dinner, it really felt like one big party with our favorite people.

What do you say we jet set to Mexico right now thanks to the gorgeous photos below by Fondly Forever Photography!?!

We're kind of obsessed with Jessie's gorgeous, jeweled heels by Badgley Mischka; a perfect way to bring a touch of glam to the otherwise laid back, rustic setting!

Planning a destination wedding from afar is never the easiest task, but J + B worked with a dream team of vendors - Nicoella Event Design, Sea of Dream Weddings + Flormimo (who created that protea bouquet above!) - to bring their wedding ideas to life.

The bridesmaids wore dresses of their choice from designers like Stone Cold Fox, Show Me Your Mumu + Reformation. Shop their lovely look in our bridesmaid guide below!

We're just loving the reception palette of blue, ivory, gold + green! So pretty!
