There are so many venue options when it comes to modern weddings. Lofts and rooftops are popular choices for this wedding style, but we like the idea of mixing it up a little by exchanging your vows at a museum, distillery or even a nightclub.

Bold signage is everything at a modern wedding—the larger, the better!

Need vendors for your modern wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

The modern wedding style is typically very clean and sleek with a minimal color palette and some metallic details. Wedding attire is sophisticated and chic and the florals are often monochromatic or greenery-heavy. Think bold lines or geometric designs when it comes to the overall décor details 

A modern wedding style is refined and simple, but daring. It's typically a formal vibe and we see a lot of white and black with modern weddings, but also bold colors like teal, eggplant and fuschia. The décor often features florals like calla lilies or dahlias, as well as ghost chairs, Edison bulbs, neon signs and greenery walls. The fashion is a big component of modern weddings—we love a fearless colored suit or backless sheath gown.

Casual weddings are most often a style used in backyard weddings, but we also see it at beach or tented weddings. For the attire, brides may want to wear a tea-length dress or jumpsuit. Grooms should stick to lighter shades, like tan, and toss the jacket.

Consider serving drinks prior to the ceremony to get your guests in a party mood!

Need vendors for your casual wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

A casual wedding is playful, fun and great for weddings with a smaller guest list. The ceremony is often outdoors or hosted in a backyard and we love the thought of using benches for the seating to really keeps the formality to a minimum. String lights are a must!

With a more informal celebration, you can really get creative with the menu and play with your décor. There's no need for china or chargers at a casual reception so have fun with the place settings, like a patterned or textured placemat. As for food, comfort food is a no-brainer. Try an elevated version like mini chicken and waffles or shooters of tomato soup with tiny grilled cheese bites on the side. We encourage you to consider family-style dining as opposed to a formal plated dinner.

A simple wedding can be held anywhere but we suggest using the same venue for both ceremony and reception. You can also look into all-inclusive venues that will take care of food, décor, photographer, alcohol, staff, guest accommodations and more. What could be simpler?

Consider mismatched wedding party dresses, and brides may want a gown with clean lines or even a tea-length dress.

Need vendors for your simple wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

A simple wedding sticks to the basics, doesn't go crazy on décor and keeps the guest list minimal. The venue should be somewhere that will look beautiful as is or with only a few extra touches or will require only a little DIY effort.

At a simple wedding, be very particular with your guest list. You really only need to invite your "A-list," aka your immediate families and closest friends. It will help your budget and less guests means more face time with each person. Consider a shorter timeline—this will help your budget and keep the celebration from feeling too formal. And only focus on the most important details, there's no need to calligraphed signage at a simple wedding!

Let's talk about why you want to plan a destination wedding. Did you and your partner visit a spot that you want to cement as an important place in your relationship? Do you want to go all out with the most epic wedding weekend your guests have ever seen? Or maybe you both just want a quiet trip away with your closest loved ones. Have you two always wanted to visit this particular area? Whatever your reasoning, you can't go wrong with a destination wedding. 

However, there are some important things to remember when planning a destination wedding. If possible, you want to try and visit at least once, if not twice, before your wedding. You'll definitely want to see the venue and meet a couple of your most important vendors.

Speaking of vendors, you may love the florist your sister used in her Kansas City wedding but you'll want to stick with local vendors. Otherwise, you could end up paying for the travel expenses of all your vendors and that will *quickly* rack up your costs. Trust the locals and know that they know how to throw an authentic wedding in your chosen area.

Finally, destination weddings can be a big expense for guests. Because of this, you'll want to let them know far in advance about the date so they can start planning and saving. We suggest sending your save the dates a year in advance and invitations should be sent closer to 12 weeks prior to the wedding instead of the usual six to eight weeks.

Why choose a destination wedding?

The first step in planning your destination wedding is choosing a location. [Mexico](https://lovestoriestv.com/video-results?loc=mexico) is quickly becoming one of the most popular destination wedding locations in the world—and it’s easy to see why. Mexico has plenty to offer, from gorgeous year-round weather to breathtaking natural vistas and all-inclusive venues. 

Whether you’re looking for a vibrant city celebration, a rustic countryside wedding, or a stunning oceanfront ceremony, look no further than Mexico. 

Why choose Mexico for your destination wedding?

One of the top reasons couples choose to host their destination weddings in Mexico is the country’s abundance of pristine coastline. Mexico’s white sand beaches stretch for miles and dazzle with crystal-clear turquoise water.

The Riviera Maya, located on the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula alongside the sparkling waters of the Caribbean, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. The area is dotted with ancient ruins to explore as well as plenty of opportunities for adventurous excursions.

Due to its long history as a travel hotspot, the country’s eastern coast is home to many all-inclusive resorts that offer comprehensive wedding packages, allowing you to leave the planning to their in-house teams. 

Some of the most popular wedding locations in the Riviera includes Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Akumal. 

Playa del Carmen has a laid-back vibe that makes it a perfect destination for a bohemian wedding.

Located in the southern stretch of the Riviera, Tulum has recently turned into a trendy hotspot due to its popularity on social media.

Akumal is a snorkler’s dream, since it’s home to a coral reef and a community of sea turtles. 

Cozumel is an island nestled in the otherworldly blue waters of the Caribbean Sea off the Yucatan Peninsula.

It’s home to Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park, which is known for its incredible scuba diving, where adventurers can see coral reefs and even an underwater art museum. 

Riviera Maya Destination Wedding locations

Los Cabos, also known as Cabo San Lucas, is located on the Southern tip of the Baja Peninsula. It’s an exciting resort city that offers an eclectic mix of vibrant nightlife, dramatic coastlines, and relaxing beaches.

Couples can plan their ceremonies right on the beach or at a venue that offers spectacular ocean views. While your wedding can be hosted at a single resort, there are also many hotel options in the area at a wide variety of price points.

The area is known for its water sports and activities, so couples can easily plan excursions for their friends and family. Since Los Cabos is full of restaurants, clubs, and shopping venues, guests won’t have a hard time enjoying themselves when they’re not attending wedding-related events.

Los Cabos Destination Wedding locations

Riviera Nayarit may not have the same level of name recognition as some of the other popular destination wedding locations in Mexico, but it’s a hidden gem that’s worth exploring. This 200-mile stretch of coastline is located north of Puerto Vallarta and is home to charming beach towns like Chacala Bay and Chacalilla.

The region is known for its surfing as well as its stunning views of the crystal clear Pacific Ocean. Some popular wedding venues offer a gorgeous cliff-side setting, while others provide an eco-friendly oasis. Many parts of Mexico’s coastline are well-trodden, but this region is somewhat off the beaten path, providing a unique destination for a one-of-a-kind wedding. 

Riviera Nayarit Destination Wedding locations

While Mexico may primarily be known for its stunning coastline, it’s also home to vibrant cities that are ready to play host to your destination wedding.

Thrill your guests with a trip to Oxaca, an bustling city in the southern part of the country that offers incredible food and a wealth of potential wedding venues.
