THE CARIBBEAN RIVIERA

Sun, Sand, Cenotes

Bride Lightweight fabrics like chiffon and organza are comfortable and photograph beautifully in the ocean breeze.
Bridesmaids Shorter hemlines or high-low silhouettes cooperate best in the sand.
Hair Low buns, braids and effortless waves hold better in humidity than structured updos.
Cenote
Cancún ♥ Riviera Maya ♥ Tulum ♥ Isla Mujeres ♥ Holbox ♥ Bacalar
The Yucatán Peninsula’ s Caribbean coastline is Mexico’ s most sought-after wedding setting, and what most people envision when they think of destination weddings. Bright turquoise water, powder-soft white-sand beaches, a lush jungle backdrop that creeps right to the shoreline. Venues range from ultra-luxe all-inclusive resorts to open-air boutique hideaways where Mayan ruins are practically part of the ceremony.
Don’ t miss: Visiting a cenote, either for a swim, an excursion or the ceremony itself. These ancient limestone sinkholes filled with crystalline fresh water are unlike anything else on earth, and were considered sacred by the Maya people.
Groom & Groomsmen Skip the ties and opt for open collars paired with neutralcolored linen.
Florals Native tropical blooms( like birds of paradise, protea, anthuriums, monstera leaves) are lush without looking overdone.
