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.

A summer wedding typically has at least one element of the day that's outside. Make sure you have shaded options that allow guests to avoid the sun. We love the idea of handing out parasols, fans or sunglasses as wedding favors so guests can use them during the day.

Think fresh, light and airy when it comes to food and drinks and even colors.

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

Summer weddings are those held in the months of June, July and August. This is considered "wedding season" and is one of the most popular times to get married. Some wedding styles we often see in summer include boho, rustic, casual, nautical and tropical weddings.

Because summer is widely considered "wedding season," you'll see higher prices on venues and vendors between Memorial Day and Labor Day so keep that in mind when figuring out your budget. There's good reason so many couples choose to get married in the summer. Inclement weather is not nearly as much of a concern, outdoor ceremonies are much easier to plan and, of course, there's an endless variety of bright blooms to include in your day!

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.
