Many modern Vietnamese couples now have their wedding ceremony in temples or churches; however, they still keep with tradition in the bride’s home before heading to these other venues. The traditional attire is the áo dài, a long shirt with pants, which can be customized through color, embellishments, sleeves and more.

Traditionally, the couple or their parents go to a fortuneteller to find out the best date and time for their wedding.

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

A Vietnamese wedding is important to both the couple and their families and has Confucian and Buddhist influences. There are many components to a Vietnamese wedding but two of the main ones are the lễ ăn hỏi, or bethrothal ceremony, to the lễ cưới, or wedding ceremony. 

A Vietnamese wedding is important to both the couple and their families and has Confucian and Buddhist influences. Prior to the wedding is the Le An Hoi when the groom's family brings the bride and her family betrothal presents, typically covered with red cloth. On the wedding day is the Le Cuoi, a gift-bearing parade led by the couple deemed most successful so as to wish the soonlyweds a blessed life together.

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your Vietnamese wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.

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.
