How To Plan Successful Destination Weddings Mexico

By Ann Snyder


One of the hottest trends in weddings is a destination event. This may be a trip to a tropical resort or traveling to a domestic location that has special meaning to the couple who is marrying. If you are thinking about tropical destination weddings Mexico can be a fantastic option. There are many beautiful resorts and travel costs may be lower than they would be for more distant locations. Here is what you need to know if you are planning this sort of event.

Planning anything when you are not right there can be stressful. If you are working with a spot in Mexico and you live in an area such as Alberta, Canada you may find that a quick trip down to your chosen location may help you choose various options and ensure that everything is on board and arranged properly. The peace of mind may help offset the increased cost of your event.

Local resorts are popular sites for weddings. There are a number of reasons for this. One is that the ceremony and reception can both take place close to one another. The other is that there are often visually beautiful areas on resort properties that make natural settings for pictures and for the ceremony itself.

Keep in mind that you will need to limit your guest list. You also need to remember that there may be some guests that will be unable to attend due to the cost of travel and accommodations. If you want to keep costs at a more reasonable level you may want to look at planning your celebration outside of the tourist high season. It will often cost less to travel and stay if you choose an off-season date to be wed.

The clothes that you wear may be very different than if you were marrying at home. You may want to look at dresses that are made of light, flowing fabric. These will usually look better on a beach and be more comfortable to wear in hot weather. They may also be able to be packed easier and may not take up as much room in your suitcase as a large gown would. Attendants will often look more appropriate if they wear more tropical fabric and colors.

A planner or consultant is definitely an asset when you are planning a destination wedding. You may want to use someone who is employed by the resort if that is your location. You may find it more affordable and achieve more reliable results if you work with the florists, caterers and other service providers that normally provide services to the resort as well. There may be surcharges you will need to factor in if you use your own service providers.

There are many ways to make your wedding holiday feel very personal for your guests. You may want to give them baskets of travel supplies that includes what your connection to the resort or site is. Keep in mind, however, that anything you bring will have to be transported down and it may end up costing quite a bit in baggage charges.

One way to continue with the intimate feel you are trying to achieve is to plan some group activities. These can include visits to meaningful sites for you and your future spouse, group activities such as snorkeling or horseback riding trips or other group activities. You may also want to give your guests some down time as well so that they can enjoy their vacation and be just as relaxed and refreshed as you are.
