The Diva recently attended the Love Mexico networking event in Cancun, Mexico for those in the wedding and travel industry. We networked, educated ourselves about new trends, enjoyed the beach, and were inspired! So much so, that we are dedicating this blog to decor, fashion, and menu ideas for a Mexican inspired wedding. Don't be intimidated by having your wedding in a different country. Divine Diva Events has the connections and knowledge for creating your perfect day anywhere in the world. 

DECOR

Whether you are electing to be married on a tropical beach in Mexico, or in a hacienda in the country side, let the location drive your decor. Take advantage of a beautiful beach setting and let the ocean be the focal point as you walk down the sandy aisle lined in petals, or candles if at night. If your ceremony is in a traditional, Catholic church, let us help you find a historic church that will wow your guests and create a memorable moment for you and your partner. Destination weddings, especially in Mexico, can be gorgeously decorated to be luxe and elegant, or can be whimsical and casual. 

FASHION

Are you looking to go barefoot, wear a casual white cotton gown, and have flowers in your hair, or do you prefer a more glam look? The beauty about having a destination wedding is that you are not forced to do anything traditional, if you don't want to! It is important to be mindful of the weather when planning your look, especially if you have an outdoor ceremony. These are the details that DDE can help you with to ensure a flawless day. The latest in bridal trends for tropical destination weddings range from casual elegance to glamorous gowns in bold colors. 

MENU & LIBATIONS!

One of the best things about Mexico is their amazing food! Each region in Mexico has different specialties. Whether you have your wedding in the Baja coast and want a fresh and casual fish taco bar, or you are in Oaxaca and want an elegant, coursed meal, highlighting the region's mole dishes, you have many options! Not to mention, the country's exceptional bounty of Tequila. We have many ideas to incorporate the area's food and libations into the theme of your wedding.
