Whether you’re having a 150 guest massive old Hollywood glamour wedding or a simple elegant elopement for two, here is a list of 5 essentials for every Los Cabos bride:
1. Passport
In order to go to Los Cabos from the US, you’re going to need a passport. I know this may sound like a no-brainer; however, with the several thousand details that you have been responsible for planning since the day you said, “yes,” sometimes the most obvious can be overlooked. Make sure to have your passport tucked safely away in your carry-on luggage long before you leave for the airport.
2. Comfy Shoes
While your wedding shoes will definitely be on your checklist of items to bring, you will also want to include your favorite pair of walking shoes. After your big day, you will not want to miss what the area has to offer. You and your husband may want to head up to San Jose del Cabo and stroll through this hidden gem. Here you can find unique art, authentic dining and a town square filled with historical monuments. In Cabo San Lucas you are sure to put miles of lasting memories on those comfy pair of shoes as you wander around the marina and Cabo San Lucas proper.
3. Sunscreen
I’m sure that you’re thinking “Of course I’ll bring sunscreen!” However, while you and your bridesmaids are lounging around the pool, with a margarita in hand, the day before your wedding, the Cabo sun could do its damage unless you’ve covered up SPF30. I can’t think of anything worse than a really bad sun burn on your wedding day. While our make up and hair divas at Suzanne Morel are sometimes called magicians, even magic can’t take a way the pain of a beautiful wedding dress rubbing against freshly sunburned skin. Pack it in and smear it on so you’re sure to feel spectacular on your special day!
4. Sense of humor
Steinbeck said it best “The best laid schemes of mice and men / Go oft awry”. You can have everything planned, have everyone in their place, have the best vendors available, and something is still sure to go awry. Just keep chanting to yourself “I’m on vacation. I’m on vacation.” Because even the worst day on vacation is still vacation and if you can take a step back, you will remember why you’re there – to get married in the most beautiful place imaginable! And that should put a giant smile on your face. Feel the love, take a breath, and take a shot of….
5. TEQUILA
You’re in Mexico! Celebrate! Tequila tasting! Have a margarita! Put your feet up, enjoy the million dollar sunset and focus on why you’re in Los Cabos! Soak up the sun, suck down a cocktail, and cherish every moment. You’ve made it! You’re in Cabo with the person of your dreams, you just got married, and there is nothing going on more special than that.
Set this scene in your imagination; the soft lapping of sparkling waves on a beach you can reach out and touch, multiple levels of brilliant blues stretching to the horizon, the beguiling sights of Palmilla Point and Punta Gorda—and you kicking back with friends and family in the spacious and cleverly designed patio and palapa area outside this luxury villa. That’s just one slice of the luscious cake that is Villa Dios del Mar, a 5-bedroom, 5-bath retreat in the stunning East Cape area of Los Cabos. Gracious living is easy at Dios del Mar, and not just because of its creative design. The 4,500 square feet of living space includes two lovely casitas separated from the main house (one with a large jacuzzi tub), as well as three bedrooms in the central home. Of course, all have tasty views of that endless ocean.
The details are done right at Dios del Mar , with custom-built furnishings and cabinetry, hand-made doors, travertine floors. Marble and natural stone finishes compliment the home’s design. Bet on a sure thing and plan your next getaway at Dios del Mar. Even if you spend all your time at the swim-up bar in that fantastic 26,000 gallon pool, it will be the vacation of your lifetime.
