Concejos Generales
- Antes de confirmar el horario de tu ceremonia, ten en cuenta la hora del atardecer, de esta manera estarás segura de tener suficiente luz natural para todas tus fotografías.
- Habla con tus invitados, para que si gustan tomar fotos o video, procuren hacerlo desde sus asientos y así no interfieran en la tomas.
- Cuida tu bronceado. Fíjate que los breteles de tu traje de baño coincidan con los de tu vestido, para que no tengas marcas en el pecho, hombros y espalda el día de tu boda.
- Usa maquillaje a prueba de agua.
- Recuerda traer en tu maleta, tijeras, hilo, aguja, y alfileres de gancho.
- Si tu novio suda, le recomendamos que use una playera o camiseta blanca debajo de la camisa y lleve un pañuelo en la bolsa.
- Que los colores de tus flores combinen con el tono de tu maquillaje.
- Si vas a llevar el cabello suelto el viento puede hacerlo volar sobre tu cara. Procura que en la hora de la ceremonia se te vea la cara para que tus invitados puedan verte y el fotógrafo captar tus expresiones.
Trash the Dress tips
- Usa maquillaje a prueba de agua.
- Ponte un traje de baño debajo del vestido, así ni bien termine la sesión fotográfica podrás sacarte el vestido, que estará muy pesado por el agua y la arena.
- Lleva unas toallas contigo.
- Usa ropa interior de colores claros, para que no se vea a través del vestido / pantalones.
- Remember that buying beach/summer attire in the winter is sometimes difficult depending on where you live. Try to remember to buy summer clothes, swimsuits, and sandals in the summer or you can order online year-round.
- When deciding on a wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses consider choosing informal dresses or sundresses in light fabrics such as organza or chiffon. Even with the cooler temps of the winter, Mexico is still very hot to guests unaccustomed to the heat. Lightweight linen suits are popular for the guys. Please keep in mind that you will be packing these dresses/suits in your suitcase, so you might want to have your drycleaner pack it for you and/or pack a travel iron or steamer.
- As of January 1st, 2007 it is required that everyone have a passport to enter Mexico. After the wedding, you can mail your passport with your marriage license into a passport agency and they will change the last name free of charge. It is strongly encouraged that you speak with your local and national governments regarding specific details and nuances of your particular citizenship.
- Outlets in Mexico are 2 prong. If you are bringing a curling iron, hair dryer or laptop, you will want to bring a 3 prong adapter and a surge protector to protect your appliances from power surges.

Remember the type of straps you have on your wedding dress and try to protect yourself against tan lines that go against your strap lines. If you are wearing a strapless, consider bringing and wearing tube tops or strapless bikini tops. Also, consider bringing a tanning spray just in case you have to spray tan your tan lines at the last minute.
Welcome Bag ideas: Have a rubber stamp made of your wedding logo or monogram and stamp recycled bags from your paper store. When you get to Mexico you can buy; bottled water, snacks, a bottle of tequila and shot glasses, a map of the area, schedule of events, anti-bacterial gel, 2 coronas, a sarong (can be used as a beach sheet/dress/skirt/tablecloth/light blanket for child), etc. Items you might want to consider bringing down from the states or Canada; travel size soaps, sunscreen, Tylenol/Alka Selzer (other hangover cure), hand towels, Personalized can coozie or tee shirt, bottle opener, blow-up water toys, etc.
If your hair is prone to frizz up in humid climates, bring anti-frizz hair products with you. During vacation you do not want to spend a lot of time doing your hair. Bring products that you can leave-in and have beach hair all day long. Low-maintenance hair styles will allow you to have more time to enjoy your time in Mexico.
