Monochromatic Color Palettes

​One of the hottest trends for 2024 weddings is the monochromatic color palette. This stylish choice involves selecting a base color, such as blue, and weaving various shades and patterns of blue of it throughout your bridal party attire, flowers, and wedding décor. The beauty of this trend lies in its simplicity and the cohesive, visually striking effect it creates.

Why Everyone Loves It

Gone are the days when bridesmaids were expected to wear identical dresses. Thank goodness! Now, it's all about individuality and inclusion. By embracing monochromatic color schemes, you allow each member of your bridal party to express their unique style while maintaining a harmonious overall look. Imagine your bridesmaids in varying shades of pink, from the softest blush to the richest magenta, each in a dress that flatters their shape and personality. Not only does this approach make for stunning photographs, but it also ensures that everyone feels comfortable and confident on your big day.

Incorporating Monochromatic Themes

To successfully incorporate a monochromatic theme into your destination wedding, start by choosing a color that resonates with you and your partner. Then, think about how you can apply different shades of this color across various elements of your wedding. Here are some ideas to get you started:
  • Bridal Party Attire: Allow your bridesmaids and groomsmen to choose outfits in different shades of your chosen color. This can apply to dresses, ties, socks and even pocket squares.
  • Flowers: Work with your florist to create bouquets and arrangements that explore the full spectrum of your color. Mixing textures and sizes of flowers can add depth and interest.
  • Décor: From table linens to lighting, there are endless opportunities to play with shades. Consider ombre effects for tablecloths or centerpieces that transition from light to dark.
A monochromatic color palette is a sophisticated and modern choice for your destination wedding in 2024. It offers the perfect blend of unity and individuality, ensuring that your wedding is a true reflection of you as a couple. Plus, it's a trend that translates beautifully across all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean, complementing the natural beauty of these destinations.

Why did you choose Romance Travel Group?
We had friends we went to college with that used Romance Travel Group and they had a great experience, so we knew we could trust them with finding us the right resort for our wedding! 


What led you to choose a destination wedding?
We chose a destination wedding because we wanted to spend a week with all of our favorite people at an all-inclusive resort! We have been to a lot of weddings and wanted to do something different. I also am not the best planner and thought this would be the best route to help me with the wedding planning process! 


How did you select the resort? What were the deciding factors?
We knew we wanted a smaller resort, one centralized pool area, and a resort with good reviews on food. Romance Travel Group gave us a few options that had all of these, but we ultimately picked Dreams Riviera Cancun based on their wedding package. It was what fit our needs and budget best! 


What were some of your biggest fears about having a destination wedding?
I would say our biggest fear was knowing people we really wanted to be there might not be able to come. This was hard to accept at first, but we knew we were asking a lot of people and also that it was something we could not control and just tried to focus on all of our guests that were coming. Although there were a few close friends and family that could not make it we still had such a great turn out and enjoyed every second with those that could make it.
