Inspiration for a Mexico Wedding!

As frequently discussed on this blog, everything about Mexico's rich culture, delicious cuisine, and colorful music and personality make it a wonderful place to get married or theme your wedding around. The festive colors of the Mexican flag -- green, white and red -- add further inspiration. If you’d like to have a Mexican wedding theme, consider these as your theme colors. For some colorful and stunning centerpieces and place settings, look for Mexican clay folk art figurines,tin art, paper flowers, or the traditional “loteria” playing cards. You can also use succulent arrangements for your centerpieces and bouquets for that added Mexican flare.

I mentioned the idea of hiring your favorite local taco truck as an inexpensive way to feed a large guest list, consider taking it a step further with this wonderful menu from WedShareDaily! For a fun cocktail hour, have a tacos al pastor station with a cook serving the spicy flame-grilled pork with onion and pineapple on fresh tortillas . For your main menu, offer authentic Mexican cuisine and set it up in a buffet format for your guests to pick and choose what they’d like to try…and let them go for seconds, too! Hang strings of papel picado, the traditional festive paper banners with hand-punched designs, or colored lanterns to decorate the surroundings of your wedding site. Put out lots of colorful votive candles to set the mood in the evening. If you are able to have some fireworks or some sparklers, it would be a nice touch for the end of the night. Give Mexican candies as your favors, such as De La Rosa Mazapan, a peanut-based candy that’s really yummy and looks so cute in nothing more than its own wrapper.
