What To Wear

"We're all mad here — but very well dressed." — inspired by the Cheshire Cat

Dress Code: Garden Formal

Spring wedding style inspiration for a romantic Riviera Maya celebration.

The Church Wedding

Romantic, Whimsical, and a Little Dressy

Garden Formal means polished, romantic, and destination-wedding appropriate. Think flowing dresses, florals, soft prints, lace, lightweight suits, dress shirts, and elevated resortwear.

Romantic, whimsical, and a little dressy. Flowing dresses, florals, soft prints, and lace are all encouraged.

Please save white, ivory, and sand for the bride.

A note on shoes: The ceremony is on a boardwalk and cocktail hour is in a garden, so block heels, wedges, or elegant flats are recommended over stilettos.

Weather

Warm, Tropical, and Breezy

Riviera Maya in the spring is expected to feel warm, tropical, and resort-ready. Choose breathable fabrics, comfortable layers, and outfits that will photograph beautifully while still feeling easy to wear outdoors.

Lightweight fabrics, flowy silhouettes, linen blends, breathable dress shirts, and soft colors are all great choices for the destination setting.

Setting

Boardwalk Ceremony, Garden Cocktail Hour

The wedding day will move through outdoor spaces, including a boardwalk ceremony and a garden cocktail hour. The overall vibe is elegant, romantic, and a little whimsical — polished enough for a wedding, but comfortable enough for a destination celebration.

Please keep shoes in mind. Block heels, wedges, dressy sandals, loafers, or elegant flats will be easier than stilettos on boardwalk and garden surfaces.
