autumn ambiance

i love how this cake resembles mexican tiles.

mexican wedding inspiration

Ceremony

i love the idea of having the ceremony at an old mexican colonial style church, but I would have to jump through more than a few hoops to pull the catholic card. SOOOO we might have to stick with the beach...

Playa Del Carmen

This Riviera Mayan city is quieter and not as touristy as Cancun, but not as isolated as Tulum is.

Better fit for our fun loving guests to let loose.

There is a new "quiet law" for Mexico. All wedding receptions must end between the hours of 10-11pm. BOOOO! However, this will be the time we leave the beach reception and make our way towards down town Playa for some real Mexican night life.

Deciding between three boutique hotels in Playa right now....

#1. Hotel Petit La Fitte

#2. Shangri La Caribe

#3. Hotel Las Palapas

Dahlia

Not only are dahlias stunning in a shade of amber, but they are also Mexico's national flower and abundant in autumn.

A cherry on top of all that fabulousness, Scott and I both agree that Dahlia would be a beautiful baby girl name!

My heart strings are tickled.

Amber is the Color of Your Energy

Already looking for wedding color inspirations! LOVE THIS COMBINATION ABOVE. What do you guys think? I have my heart set on having amber, copper, and rose gold hues. I'm just not sure if I want to go monochromatic or have complimentary colors like the image above.

Envision the sun going down over the ocean and lighting up the dance floor with amber.

SAVE THE DATE!!!

WOOO HOOO! We have officially picked a date!

Saturday November 27th, 2010

This is a great weekend because everyone will already have work off for Thanksgiving. Think little casitas on the beach, tequila shots at sunset, colorful Mexican autumn, love love love everywhere.

Him being Mexican and me wanting a destination wedding
IT WILL BE IN MEXICO!!!

Stay tuned for exact location.
