Wedding traditions in Mexico
What a local guest expects to see on the wedding day.
Arras and the lazo
The 13 arras represent shared prosperity, and the lazo —a cord placed over the couple's shoulders during the ceremony— symbolises eternal union.
Godparents (padrinos)
A Mexican wedding has padrinos for everything: velación, lazo, arras, bouquet, rings, cushions, bible… Key figures who accompany and sponsor the couple.
Mariachi and callejoneada
Mariachi typically accompanies the welcome or closing of the banquet. In colonial cities like Guanajuato or San Miguel, the callejoneada parades guests and couple through the streets before the party.
Hora loca and víbora de la mar
The hora loca explodes at midnight with masks, hats and streamers. The víbora de la mar is the chain-dance that closes every proper Mexican wedding.
Mexican candy table
Cocadas, palanquetas, mazapán, alegrías, tamarindo enchilado, ate, pulparindos… The candy table is a must-have cultural touch.
