What is Pinterest? If you are still new to this social platform, Wikipedia breaks it all down for you here. Pinterest might be the single greatest tool for planning your destination wedding in Mexico (or for any number of other things from recipes to recycled DIY projects) and the best part is, it is SO incredibly easy to use! Whatever wedding planning detail is at the top of your list this week can be discovered on Pinterest.
- Beach wedding dresses? Check.

- What to put in your welcome bags? Check.
- Ideas for your wedding photography? Check and check.
How do you find what you’re looking for? Just type whatever is on your mind (and be specific!) into the search bar at the top left, and you will get to pour through a bazillion beautiful wedding photos devoted to the subject. You see something you like? Save it! When you save your ideas to your personal boards, you can share these with your wedding vendors to give them a clear picture of your style and your wedding vision. And each image (pin) will link back to a website, so you can actually order those barefoot sandals, or connect with that amazing wedding photographer.

For the best beach wedding theme ideas
Style Me Pretty is one of many websites that features real weddings, but this is where you should turn when you are trying to find your wedding theme. You will find inspiration for all the details, big and small, that go into a making a wedding look fabulous. Their blog features a wide variety of images from a particular wedding and does a great job of cutting through the noise to focus on the pretty details, and then showing you how it all comes together in the big picture.

For the unconventional bride
Green Wedding Shoes is one of our favorite websites to turn to for beach wedding inspiration because they feature images of weddings that are just a bit different. They are earthy and natural, or they can be dramatic and quirky. A break from what is commonly done with weddings. Either way, if you have chosen to get married on the beach in Mexico, you probably have adventurous spirits and are looking for a wedding style to convey your unique personalities. Search their international weddings section for inspiration.

For the alternative bride
Yes, you want to marry the love of your life, but the idea of the white dress and whimsical fairytale-ness of it all makes you want to run off and elope! If you would consider yourself an alternative kind of bride (which many destination wedding brides are!) then get your wedding inspiration from Rock And Roll Bride.
- What better location than Mexico for a beach wedding dress in a vibrant shade of coral?
- Why shouldn’t your hair color match the Caribbean sea?
- What better time than the Day of the Dead to get hitched?
If you are shouting “Yes, Yes, Yes!” then you will find your wedding inspiration with Rock and Roll Bride.
When traditional wedding meets destination wedding
If you are prepared to brave the blistering heat of Mexico wearing a Cinderella ball gown and full tuxedo on the beach just to get those spectacularly glamorous wedding photos that look like they are straight out of a high fashion magazine, then you will find your wedding inspiration at Carats and Cake. Sure you want a destination wedding, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the luxurious elegance of a traditional wedding, does it?
