Choosing the Perfect Tulum Venue
Once you’ve landed in Tulum for your boho wedding, the next step is to choose a venue. While many resorts in Tulum have beautiful wedding venues, some fit better with the boho aesthetic than others. You want a resort that has a natural, earthy feel, with effortlessly chic venues where you’ll need to add minimal touches to achieve the perfect boho look.
There are several different types of resorts and wedding venues in Tulum. They range from beachfront villas to trendy boutique hotels, eco-chic resorts, natural jungle retreats, and luxurious all inclusive resorts. When comparing resorts and venues, you’ll need to consider a few factors. One is your guest count. Some venues may allow a hundred or more guests, while others are more intimate, allowing just a few. The privacy of the venue is also something you’ll want to consider. Some couples might not mind getting married in a busy part of a resort, while others prefer something out of the public eye. The views of the venue are important as well. You’re traveling to Tulum because the town has the perfect vibes for a boho wedding; make sure that those vibes shine through in your chosen venue. Finally, check whether the resort offers all inclusive packages for your wedding, or whether they allow you to customize different aspects of your ceremony and reception.

Boho Elegance & Special Elements
The natural decor, lush greenery, beach views, and airy space of Tulum’s resorts are perfect for a boho wedding. But if you want to add even more bohemian touches, some boho-inspired decor elements you can use include:
- Pampas grass
- Macramé backdrops
- Natural wood tables (many resorts will already have these!)
- Colorful rugs
- Lots of greenery in your bouquets and decorations
- Handmade details, like delicate crochet accents
Tulum has a rich Mayan culture that is perfect for incorporating into your boho wedding. Other local elements that can help inspire your wedding decor and accessories include natural, muted tones, like shades of natural red, brown, tan, and green.
When it comes to music, relaxed options like acoustic guitar or more beach vibe tunes like live percussion are great options.
Personalizing Your Tulum Wedding for an Authentic Experience
If you and your soon-to-be-spouse are very laid-back or love nature, a boho wedding can be the perfect vibe for you. But there are plenty of other ways that you can customize your Tulum wedding and make it even more special.
Consider having a spiritual or symbolic element during your ceremony, such as a Mayan blessing or a sand ceremony. Both are perfect for tying in the setting of your wedding and creating a special, unique moment. While many Tulum resorts have a range of venue options, consider letting the area’s natural beauty shine by choosing a beach or jungle venue. Not only will this make your vows feel even more special, it’ll also make for some incredible wedding photos.
Boho Chic Wedding Attire & Style Tips
Tulum resort wedding packages often include things like your ceremony and reception space, food, an altar, chairs, and sometimes even some decor. But one thing that you’ll definitely need to bring with you is your wedding attire!
Flowing lace dresses, lightweight fabrics, and barefoot sandals are all perfect for a boho bride. Consider swapping a veil for a flower crown or even a boho hat. For bridesmaids, mismatched dresses in earthy tones or light pastels, with lightweight, flowing fabric, are great choices. Subtle floral patterns can also be a great choice.
For the groom and groomsmen, linen and light colors are good choices not only for fitting with the vibe but also for staying cool in the hot sun.
