Wednesday Wedding Inspiration: A Mexican Adventure

Written by Bespoke Bride, Posted in Be Inspired

Hola from Mexico!

♥ ♥ ♥

I know im getting around a bit, what with Italy and all, but can you blame me? England’s summer pretty much didn’t exist this year!

Instead of doing a standard Mexican destination wedding board this week, I wanted to bring you something that reflects the culture of this beautiful country, something full of colour and tradition.

You have a lot of options when it comes to a ‘Mexican colour scheme’, generally you could throw a huge selection of colours together and it would work. Like the Mexican bride’s dress above ‘embracing a riot of romantic color’.

Alternatively, you could theme your wedding around the colour scheme of red, white & green like the Mexican flag, or go for a scheme with an array of blues, red, yellow & pink like featured below.

It doesn’t just stop at the colour scheme though! A Mexican themed wedding isn’t complete without the delicious cuisine & music from the mariachi! Of course, there are lots of Mexican traditions too and if you’d like to include some of these in your wedding then you can read about them here.

See the board below for more Mexican inspiration!
