Mexico Beach Wedding Ideas from a Beach Wedding Planner
There’s no place like Mexico for a beautiful beach wedding, but have you heard the stunning celebration option away from the tourist crowds of Cancun? We’ll let you in on the secret: it’s Isla Mujeres! The easily-accessible island offers unforgettable backdrops for your big day. Here are a few Isla Mujeres wedding ideas to inspire your destination dreams.
Theme & Decor
Choosing your theme and wedding colors is an important early step to take when planning your wedding. You can use your theme to guide decisions you make with vendors, when creating invitations, and for day-of decor planning.
Keep It Simple
One of the perks of planning a beach wedding is the neutral backdrop you’ll have to work with. Almost any theme can work with an Isla Mujeres wedding, but the most visually striking are simple, casual themes that add to the already-incredible atmosphere.
Build Your Theme Around One Element
When creating a theme for a beach wedding, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the options. Find inspiration in one element — a flower or bouquet, a beautiful fabric, or the stunning colors of a sunset. With inspiration from a single element, you can begin to build complementary colors and decor around that element.

Entertainment
After you’ve said your vows and sealed your love with a kiss, it’s time to party! Planning your reception for a beach wedding can be a ton of fun, particularly as you consider vendors and services that can add some entertainment to your big day.
Enjoy The Classics
You can’t go wrong with a dance floor and great tunes, especially if you and your soon-to-be spouse enjoy dancing the night away. Many of the classic entertainments that you think of with a local wedding work for a beach wedding, as well. Even if your reception party is on the beach, there are dance floors and DJs to rent in Isla Mujeres so you can spend your first dance as a married couple underneath the stars.
Add Something Unique
It’s not everyday that you get married on the beaches of Mexico. To celebrate your love and the incredible scenery, consider unique entertainment options to add a little pizzazz to your reception. Whether it’s fire dancers, a party game, or fireworks, you can add more memories to your wedding celebration with unique entertainment options.
Food
From start to finish, wedding days can be long and full of joyful emotions, which means that you’ll need a good meal to keep you going for your reception. Work with your wedding planner or local vendors to determine what food options will be fresh, like seafood from the nearby ocean, and available on your big day.
Consider Your Venue
Whether you’re planning for cocktails and appetizers post-ceremony or a full dinner for your reception, one of the most important considerations to make when planning your menu is where you’ll be feeding guests. If your guests will stay on the beach, create a menu of easily-eaten small bites that can be eaten without needing a table, fork, and knife. For a full dinner menu, plan to have tables set up on the beach or transition indoors into a resort for your reception.
