THE COLONIAL HEARTLANDS

Old-World Heritage

Bride This is the setting for drama— we love a structured gown paired with a mantilla veil.
Bridesmaids Rich tones( like terracotta, marigold and plum) pull directly from the local palette.
Hair Elegant updos( like chignons or braided crowns) work as well in a candlelit hacienda as in a traditional cathedral.
Mérida, Mexico
San Miguel de Allende ♥ Oaxaca ♥ Mérida ♥ Guanajuato
If you have ever dreamed of a wedding that looks like it belongs in a Spanish period film( think cobblestone streets, baroque cathedral facades, hacienda courtyards framed with bougainvillea), Mexico’ s colonial cities are for you. San Miguel de Allende consistently tops lists of the most beautiful cities in the world, while Oaxaca brings its own magic: a rich Indigenous artistic heritage and markets overflowing with handwoven textiles and marigolds.
Don’ t miss: The markets. Oaxaca’ s Mercado de Benito Juárez and Tlacolula market are among the best in Mexico— perfect for finding handwoven textiles, artisan ceramics and one-of-a-kind pieces to incorporate into your welcome bags or table décor.
Groom & Groomsmen Tailored suits and polished details match the sophistication of the venue.
Florals Bougainvillea, marigolds, garden roses and trailing greenery echo the region’ s natural flora.
