Marisa and Wilson wanted their guests’ trip to Mexico to feel like a vacation. That meant a Friday night taco menu, custom maracas, plenty of margaritas, and a wedding day filled with oranges, reds, yellows, and pinks. At their Etéreo Kanai celebration in Riviera Maya, those colors appeared across the florals, stationery, and bridesmaid dresses. Mexico made sense for another reason. Marisa and Wilson fell in love partly through traveling, cooking, and exploring together, and […]
Wedding Ideas: Mexico Wedding
This Chinese Wedding in Mexico Brought Pastel Bridgerton Vibes to the Shores of Cancún
A traditional Chinese tea ceremony, a beachside welcome party, and a pastel garden reception inspired by Bridgerton gave Alyssa and Austin’s wedding weekend plenty of range. More than 100 guests traveled to Cancún, where the couple turned their Chinese wedding in Mexico into several days of family traditions, good food, and a party that rarely slowed down. The destination format came partly from Alyssa’s older sister’s wedding. After seeing how several days together gave guests […]
This Queer Two-Day Mexico City Wedding Blended Pakistani Tradition and Mexican Culture Beautifully
Furhan Shah and Ben Fortuin’s wedding took place over two days and two very different Mexico City venues. The first brought Pakistani wedding traditions, colorful clothing, a dhol player, speeches, and dancing to the gardens of Museo Casa de la Bola. The next moved to Ex-Convento de San Hipólito, where black-and-white attire, dramatic lighting, a non-denominational ceremony, and a packed dance floor changed the look entirely. Junebug vendor Alex Krotkov was there for both days […]
Bird of Paradise Led The Tropical Floral Design in this Arcadia Events Tulum Destination Wedding
Bird of paradise, pink anthuriums, tropical greenery, and fruit brought color into a setting that Kylee and Benjamin otherwise left largely untouched. Stone structures divided Arcadia Events Tulum into different spaces for the ceremony and reception, while candles and string lights added soft lighting as evening arrived. The inspiration for the setting came from a trip Kylee and Benjamin took early in their relationship. A few months after they started dating, they traveled to Costa […]
A Closed 17th-Century Mexican Hacienda Reopened Just for This Romantic Goth Glam Elopement
It took Katie nearly a year of searching to find Hacienda Uayamón, a centuries-old property in Campeche with weathered red walls, jungle greenery, and the kind of Mexican ruins that immediately ended her venue hunt. There was just one problem: the hacienda had been closed for years. Getting married there would eventually require the owner to reopen the property exclusively for Katie and Nick, plus a team of around 30 people working behind the scenes […]
At Garza Blanca Cancún, Black Tie and Beachfront Made the Perfect Wedding Combination
Jackie and JJ asked guests to pack tuxedos and colorful formalwear for a wedding weekend by the Caribbean, then filled the celebration with coral, peach, yellow, and pink flowers, sweeping white drapery, and plenty of reasons to stay on the dance floor. At Garza Blanca Cancún, their “Black Tie by the Beach” idea landed somewhere between a formal evening out and a very good vacation. The details that guests took home with them were just […]
This Monte Cardon Wedding in San Jose del Cabo Was the Coolest Desert Destination Party
Natalie and Will had two requirements when they started wedding planning: warm and fun. In practice, that became a private desert venue outside San Jose del Cabo, Bird of Paradise orange woven through the details, dinner that guests are still talking about, and a reception designed to get progressively louder as the night went on. Their Monte Cardon wedding moved through different corners of the property, from an outdoor ceremony surrounded by desert, mountains, […]
Ocean Views and Island Vibes at This Casa Coco Jewish Beach Wedding
Three days of celebrations unfolded on Isla Mujeres, beginning with a Jewish ceremony overlooking the ocean at Casa Coco and ending with an Ibiza-inspired after-party complete with fire performers, dancers, and a Mayan sunrise show. But the forecast almost rewrote the entire weekend. Rain poured down that morning, and the ceremony was close to being moved indoors. Then, just two hours before guests arrived, the clouds broke, revealing the sunset the couple had been hoping […]
Lace, Earth Tones, and Effortless Elegance in this Casa San Jose Destination Wedding
Family linens, everyday napkins, and the couple’s own cake knife all found their place at Casa San Jose. Rather than filling the tables with objects chosen just for one day, Logan and Tom surrounded their 50 guests with pieces that already belonged to their lives, giving the weekend a character that couldn’t have been replicated with rentals alone. The Dallas couple met at a mutual friend’s party in New York. When it came time to […]
This Wedding at Hacienda San Cristóbal Is a Love Letter to Contemporary Mexican Design
For Anette and Antonio, their wedding weekend became an introduction to Mexico for the family and friends who had traveled from around the world to celebrate with them. It began with cocktails in the heart of Mexico City’s Historic Center before moving to Hacienda San Cristóbal, where centuries-old adobe walls, regional cuisine, mariachi music, and a traditional charro horse performance welcomed 130 guests over the course of the celebration. Every stop added another layer […]
