Will there be tequila?
Unfortunately, no. Our venue doesn't let us serve hard liquor, but beer and wine is on us ;)
What's "La vibora de la mar" dance?
The Sea Snake Dance, or La Vibora de la Mar, is a traditional dance performed by the bride and groom. The couple stands on opposite chairs and joins hands or uses the bride’s veil to create an arch. Traditionally, this is done two times. One for all the female guests and the other for all the male guests. When the music starts (usually a song called vibora de la mar) guests pass under the arch while holding hands and running around the reception room..
The couple must not break the arch. As the music gets faster, it gets increasingly more difficult for the couple to keep it together as guests will try to break the arch. This tradition is so much fun and it really helps to bring everyone together, not to mention the memorable pictures and videos that will be captured!
What's the wedding attire for guests?
Colorful Semi-Formal
What colors to avoid so I don't match with the wedding party?
The mothers and groomsmen will wear dusty rose, the flower girls and the bridesmaids will wear sage green.
Why is it important to bring cash to the wedding?
In every Latino wedding is the Money Dance! In this tradition, guests pin money (using safety pins) to the couple in exchange for a dance. The money collected is to help the couple with their honeymoon or their new home.
