What to Wear for a Puerto Vallarta Elopement
Pacific heat, sea breeze, cobblestone, and jungle. What photographs well where the beach meets a real Mexican town, with the tropical conditions built in.
You plan the outfit for the beach.
A Vallarta day also runs through cobblestone streets and jungle coves in real humidity.
Dress for the heat and the sea breeze, and the beach, the old town, and the jungle all work for you.

The Pacific coast runs hot and humid, so lightweight, breathable, flowing fabrics suit the temperature and the setting. Chiffon and soft silhouettes catch the sea breeze on the sand and move against the bougainvillea in the old town. Bare feet suit the beach, comfortable footwear the cobblestone.
Fabric and the heat
The Pacific coast runs hot and humid, so lightweight, breathable, flowing fabrics suit the temperature and the setting. Chiffon and soft silhouettes catch the sea breeze on the sand and move against the bougainvillea in the old town. Bare feet suit the beach, comfortable footwear the cobblestone.
Colour against coast and town
Against the golden shore and blue bay, ivory reads cleanly and a warm tone lifts the palette. Against the terracotta and bougainvillea of the old town, white and jewel tones both hold, and a touch of colour echoes the walls.
Test the outfit in the heat first, and let me build the day around the sunset window. Because I film as well as shoot, fabric that moves in the breeze earns its place twice. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, the couples who dressed for the coast and the town moved through the day with ease.
