Coral Mist wedding arch
Any couple that chooses to marry on a tropical beach wants the seaside essentials: rolling waves, a boat or two on the horizon, and sand that demands you abandon your shoes. But a beach wedding also needs a focal point, places for guests to sit, and a bit of romantic embellishment. Occidental Hotels & Resorts, a collection of all-inclusives in Aruba, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico, just announced their destination wedding packages for the next year, and each comes with its own distinctive design. We chose five to profile here; feel free to borrow decorative ideas for your own beach wedding, or take the easiest route and book one of the plans.
Coral Mist: Available at Allegro resorts, this plan features brilliant orange flower pomanders, coral chiffon swags, and white garden chairs; after the ceremony, the package includes a two-tier wedding cake and a dinner reservation for up to 16 guests. Rates begin at $1,999
Luxe beach wedding
Luxe: Available exclusively at Royal Hideaway Playacar (in Playa del Carmen, about 45 minutes from Cancun), the ceremony features a bamboo canopy festooned with orchids, a white satin aisle runner framed on each side by modern lanterns, and dark bamboo chairs. After vows, treat up to 16 guests to dinner. Rates begin at $2,499.
Fiesta Beach wedding at Allegro resorts
Fiesta: Available at Allegro Resorts, this colorful scheme features a rainbow canopy created from satin ribbons, and Moroccan lanterns lining the aisle flanked by white bamboo chairs.

Simple Love wedding ceremony
Simple Love: The less-is-more design features a simple wooden canopy draped with sheer white linens, rose petal lined aisle, and stanchions with white pomanders.

Infinite Bliss wedding arch
Infinite Bliss: Available exclusively at Royal Hideaway Playacar, the dramatic design involves metallic and crystal beads and a wooden canopy draped in sheer silver fabric accented by burgundy silk flower bouquets.
