Mexico Beach Wedding by Jillian Mitchell Photography

August 18th. 2010 by Erin | Filed Under | 16 comments

We are continuing the awesomeness that is mini-wedding Wednesday with a handmade Mexico affair. I spy with my little eye palm trees, beaches and sombreros and they were all captured to perfection by Jillian Mitchell Photography. Oh Mexico, you complete us with your bright, festive affairs. And what south of the border wedding would be complete without a serenade from a mariachi band? There is more of this fiesta to be had in the gallery, so get clicking.

I was so lucky to have been a part of this wedding! Ashley, the bride, knew that she wanted a fun, bright, Mexican style wedding with a touch of modern on a small beach called San Pancho in Nayarit, Mexico.

From the Bride: We hired Mishka Designs to make our vision come to life, and she more than exceeded our expectations. We wanted the wedding to have a fun and festive vibe, nothing too formal, with the bright colors of Mexico as the star. We love to travel, so I’m inspired by exotic Moroccan patterns and the beautiful Mexican talavera designs. Mishka not only incorporated both of these into the wedding, but our love of travel was also translated into the escort cards and table markers. Besides traveling, our favorite thing to do together is cook, so as a surprise, Mishka made placecards that were recipes unique to the areas of our favorite places! The whole design element of the wedding was so beautiful and personal. Since everyone had to travel far to get down to San Pancho, we wanted to show them all a great time, which I know we did.

And here’s what Mishka had to say:  We just had a couple of months to put Ashley & Dave’s design together – but Ashley was pretty laid back and very open-minded and engaging – so it wasn’t the push it could have been :) . She just wanted something “festive and fun, not too fancy” with the colors of Mexico. At first I think there was some surprise that we were going to do everything catered specifically for her – no cookie-cutting going on, but after Ashley adjusted to the fact that this was a design JUST for her, ideas just took off!

    Gorgeous! I love everything about this wedding. And I love the dress, who makes it?

    Thanks everyone! I couldn't have been happier with my wedding thanks to everyone involved. It was truly a fiesta! Melissa - the dress is by Tadashi Shoji, and the bridesmaids dresses were from Anthropologie.

  9. Be still my heart. This is just miles away from where we got married in Sayulita (and where I hope to live someday). Thanks for transporting me back:). Nayarit is such a wonderful part of Mexico that's very overlooked.

    We got married in Riviera Nayarit. We were completely blown away by the beauty of the sea. http://www.vallarta.com/Riviera-Nayarit/ " rel="nofollow">Riviera Nayarit Hotels are beautiful, comfortable and have a magnificent view of the pacific ocean. Definitively, it’s heaven on earth. And finding accomodation was quite easy through online http://www.bestday.com/Deals/ " rel="nofollow">Deals Destinations. Fireworks, the sea, the sky at dawn… it was a dream wedding!!

    Those star-shaped paper lanterns are gorgeous! After some clever googling I found the supplier's website! Thought I would share with the rest of the world.
