INSPIRATION FOR A MEXICAN-THEMED WEDDING

The festive vibes of September are approaching, and many brides take advantage of the opportunity to incorporate elements of these national celebrations into their weddings. This theme is also perfect if you're marrying a foreigner, if you have Mexican roots and want to celebrate, or if you simply love Mexican culture. Whether you're getting married outside of Mexico or looking to add a special touch to your event, we're sharing some incredible ideas for achieving a wedding with authentic Mexican style.

Decoration

For a Mexican-themed wedding, decor plays a crucial role, as it showcases the essence of Mexico. There are several options to include: Papel picado is an essential element of any celebration, and you can personalize it with names or initials for a special touch. Other details such as personalized piñatas, piggy banks, hangover kits, and cakes decorated with Mexican flowers will add an authentic touch. For centerpieces, cacti, succulents, and nopales are affordable and original options.

Additionally, molcajetes, Talavera baskets and pots, or bases with tequila bottles, beer bottles, and jicalpextles can add a unique and natural touch to the banquet.

Bridal look

In Mexico, there are more than 10 regional costumes, offering a wide variety for those who wish to wear one on their wedding day.

The charro suit is a classic for the groom, while the bride can opt for a Tehuana dress, add Mexican embroidery to her dress and shoes, or wear a Frida Kahlo-style floral headdress. It's also possible to choose a dress with Mexican details, such as a large flower in the hair or a colorful belt.

Incorporating a mariachi hat as part of the photo shoot or as a souvenir for guests will add a great touch to photos or fun moments with guests.

Feast

For the main menu, there is a wide variety of options based on the flavors of different regions of the country. If you're looking for a traditional menu, you can choose dishes such as mole, tlayudas, pozole, birria, enchiladas, chiles rellenos, sopes, and tlacoyos. For a more striking presentation, you can ask your caterer to design an innovative presentation.

Desserts can include alegrías, palanquetas, cocadas, and dulce de leche delicacies. Drinks such as atole, champurrado, café de olla, or téjate can be served in clay jugs or pewter cups. They can also include typical Mexican sweets such as marzipan and tamarind, or add cotton candy and popsicles for an unforgettable experience.

Music

Music is key to creating an authentic Mexican atmosphere at your wedding. Mariachi, with its vibrant energy, is a classic staple that always delights guests, who may even be encouraged to sing along.

If you're looking for a more romantic touch, a trio is also a great option, while regional dances add an unmatched cultural and traditional connection.
