When you choose a destination like Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for your wedding, you’ve instantly set yourselves up for a laid-back, festive wedding. Add to that an incredible hotel venue — in this case the gorgeous Capella Pedrega – and you have a recipe for wedding perfection! To set the tone for their destination Mexico wedding, Stacey and Brent sent out beautiful green and orange invites with a motif reminiscent of Mexican tiles. Bright ring bearer pillows and pretty flawy yellow and pink bridesmaid and flower girl dresses were just a few more ways the couple brightened up the party. To add to all the prettiness, Cabo-based wedding photographer Amy Bennett perfectly captured fun and love from the day. Take a look!

Cameo and Andrew have family all over the world so for their wedding theme, they decided to host a destination wedding in The Outer Banks at The Whalehead Club and incorporate their love of travel into all the little details. The vintage feel of their venue (which is now a historic museum) influenced their bright and pretty color palette of yellow, orange and gray details. Maps, airplanes, luggage tags and compasses gave the escort cards, programs and guest book a cohesive look and feel. See all the inspiring photos below by Genevieve Stewart Photography!

As a West Coast native, Ashley Taylor had visited Cabo many times and loved it. So when she and her fiance, Matt Bronczek, were deciding where to have their intimate destination wedding, Cabo quickly jumped to the top of the list and the Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort provided a pristine spot. Ashley and Matt went with all-white decor, with a few silver and gray accents to add a luxe touch. The couple even asked guests to dress in white. Don’t let the neutral tones fool you though. Their wedding video shows just how fun a poolside affair with loud music and good friends can be. While I may be partial because I will never tire of Katy Perry’s fireworks, I just couldn’t help but wish that I’d had a chance to attend this wedding myself!

Are you planning a destination beach wedding? Look to Amber and Ronald’s Mexico nuptials for inspiration.

For Amber and Ronald, a beach wedding didn’t mean casual attire. Embracing understated elegance, the couple stuck with structured silhouettes in light fabrics. Amber’s satin fit-and-flare Watters gown with a breezy lace overlay gave off a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe. She paired a romantic sideswept hairstyle with rhinestone hairpins for a refined finish. Instead of the popular beach choice, khaki, Ronald went with a gray Alfani suit for a more polished look, but skipped the tie to keep it from feeling too formal.
