Ole! Tips For Planning Your Mexican Theme Wedding
You don't have to travel South of the border to experience all
that Mexico has to offer. Whether you have close ties to Mexico,
or just enjoy the culture, the following article will provide some
helpful tips and insight on how to plan a Mexican theme wedding.
Traditional Mexican weddings are held in Catholic churches.
Therefore, the decor for the wedding ceremony of a Mexican theme
wedding should not be terribly extravagant – that is, if you
choose to have the ceremony in a church.
| For Mexican wedding theme items, we recommend
Shindigz.com for large selection and low prices. Look for
'fiesta' under the 'Theme parties' menu item. Also,
Pinatas.com as a large selection of pinatas and Mexican theme
tableware. For more online merchants, please visit our
buyers guide. |
The pews and alter should be delicately decorated with flowers,
particularly in subtle colors, such as pastels or white. Nothing
should take away from the natural surroundings of the church where
the ceremony is being held.
The best way to showcase your Mexican theme wedding idea is during
the reception, where you'll be able to let your creatively run
wild.
Mexico is filled with bright colors – in the fabrics that they
use, the food and the countryside. When you're decorating for your
Mexican theme wedding, remember to use bright, vibrant colors that
are reminiscent of Mexico.
Dress dinner tables in yellows and reds and use lots of naturally
fragrant flowers. Use miniature sombreros as flower vases and
position them as centerpieces for all of your tables.
Another great idea to add some authenticity to your Mexican theme
wedding is to bring in a Mariachi band to play for your guests
during dinner. Mariachi bands are very traditional in Mexico and
the upbeat, fun music that they play will surely be a hit among
all of your guests!
A fun idea designed to bring your guests together is to have a few
pinatas at your reception. Fill the pinatas with candy and let the
children and young adults at the reception try to knock it down.
This will ensure that all of your guests – no matter what age they
are – will have something fun to experience at the wedding.
A Mexican theme wedding would not be complete without Mexican
food! And fortunately, there are many options you can choose from
when you're catering your big event.
A great way to serve Mexican food prior to dinner (during cocktail
hour) is to make miniature versions of well-known Mexican dishes
and use them as “finger foods.” Taquitos, tiny fish tacos and
quesadilla wedges are easy for guests to handle while standing and
holding a cocktail. Tortilla chips and guacamole or salsa are also
great choices, as they are usually well liked by everyone.
For the main course, provide a variety of Mexican fare for your
guests to choose from, perhaps in a buffet form. Some popular
Mexican dishes are enchiladas, tostadas, fajitas, burritos and
chili con carne.
If you don't want to serve food in buffet style and want a nicer,
more formal dinner, then you can serve chicken with adobe spices,
or steak smothered in cheese and jalapeño peppers. There are a
variety of dishes that use Mexican spices that will make your
Mexican theme wedding complete.
Planning a Mexican theme wedding is a fun way to celebrate your
important day. The Mexican culture is passionate, creative and
full of life, and bringing that energy to your wedding day will
make for a no-fail, successful day!
