Enjoy Mexican wedding traditions
Traditions play a vital role in Mexican culture, especially during weddings. If you want Puebla, Mexico, for your destination wedding, incorporating these customs will ensure a spectacular ceremony.
Avoid pearls on the dress
Mexican brides traditionally avoid pearls on their wedding dresses. According to grandmothers’ wisdom, pearls symbolize tears during marriage, so it is best to opt for other embellishments.
Three bouquets for the ceremony
For a Catholic wedding, the bride carries three bouquets: the main bouquet for the ceremony is often kept as a memento, a simpler bouquet to toss to unmarried guests, and the bridal bouquet for the Virgin is left as an offering at the church.
Víbora de la Mar (the “sea snake”)
This traditional Mexican game involves the bride and groom standing on chairs while holding hands—or the train of the bride’s dress or veil. Guests form a “snake” and run through the space, trying to topple the couple. If the couple falls, it is humorously believed they may face challenges in their marriage. The participants are usually close friends and family, symbolizing their ongoing support for the newlyweds.
The Muertito (the “little dead” man)
In this playful tradition, the male guests lift the groom into the air as though carrying a coffin. It is a lighthearted nod to the groom’s transition into married life, signaling his farewell to bachelorhood and commitment to his new family.
Don’t forget a Mariachi band
No Mexican wedding is complete without a lively mariachi band! Prepare a setlist in advance, selecting joyful songs to celebrate with your loved ones, and close the event on a high note.
