Traditional weddings in Mexico

by Lucinda Perez

The Mexicans possess a diverse background and the wedding dresses reflect this culture. The Spanish influence can be seen in the Mexican fashion. If there is a certain theme present at a Mexican wedding, the wedding dress will reflect this.

A time-honored Mexican wedding is steeped in tradition handed down from generation to generation to be enjoyed by the entire wedding party and their guests.

There are many traditions that surface in a traditional Mexican wedding. Mexican wedding traditions are symbolic and are integrated with Latin customs.

If the couple is more flamboyant, then a flamenco look is more appropriate. The dress is fitted to the body and a bolero jacket is worn. The groom will wear a matador jacket and skintight trousers.

What about wedding invitations? Wedding invitations are written in Spanish and English and list the parents of both the bride and groom. All the wedding attendants are listed on the wedding invitation.

What is the money dance? With this tradition, the guest are expected to pay generously for being able to dance with the bride. The money will be used by the newlyweds for their honeymoon and for setting up their new home.

Who selects the colors for the wedding? The bride. Whatever color the bride selects, that color theme dominates the entire wedding decorations. The reception also will reflect the colors chosen by the bride.

Whats special about Mexican weddings is that all the family gets to attend and take part of this special day in a girls life.
