When you think of a Cabo wedding, what do you see? Perhaps it’s the salt spray caught in the golden hour light at Land’s End, the rhythmic sound of a cocktail shaker at a lounge set at The Cape, or the quiet, desert-meets-ocean stillness of a sunrise on the East Cape. For us at Cabo Beach Weddings, these moments are our “why.” We’ve spent years perfecting the logistics of the “I do,” but we’ve always felt there was room for something more, a space where the lifestyle of a Cabo wedding could truly live and breathe.
Today, we are thrilled to introduce our readers to a project that serves as the cultural heart of our community: Cabo Bride Magazine.
Founded by our very own Christina Redahl, Cabo Bride Magazine was born from a desire to celebrate the incredible community of talent that makes Mexico such a magnetic destination. If Cabo Beach Weddings is where your wedding is built, Cabo Bride Magazine is where it is imagined and shared.
The Evolution of the Cabo Wedding Scene
To understand why Cabo Bride Magazine is so vital today, one must look at how far this destination has come. A decade ago, a destination wedding in Mexico often implied a cookie-cutter package at an all-inclusive resort. While those options still exist and serve a purpose, Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo have evolved into global icons of luxury, design, and bespoke experiences.
As the architecture grew more sophisticated, with the arrival of a plethora of stunning properties, the needs of the couples changed. They weren’t just looking for a beach, they were looking for a curated lifestyle. They wanted to know which local artisanal mezcals to serve, which photographers understood the specific Baja light and how to incorporate Mexican heritage into a modern aesthetic.
Cabo Bride Magazine was created to fill the gap between logistics and lifestyle. It serves as a bridge, connecting the wedding couples of today with the world-class artisans who call the Baja home.
The Heart of the Community: Christina Redahl
To understand the soul of Cabo Bride Magazine, you have to look at the woman behind it. Christina has called Mexico home since 2012. Over the last decade, she has poured her heart into creating unforgettable celebrations through Cabo Beach Weddings and Weddings in Valle.
But Christina’s vision extended beyond the timeline of a wedding day. She saw a need for a dedicated hub that showcased the incredible talent, beauty, and love stories that make weddings in Mexico so special. She realized that once a wedding ends, the photos often sit in a gallery, seen only by the couple and their guests. She wanted those stories to inspire the next generation of travelers.
For Christina, Cabo Bride Magazine isn’t just a publication, it’s a celebration of the people. The florists who source local blooms, the chefs who reinvent traditional flavors, the musicians who set the sunset mood, and the couples who choose to start their lives here.
Defining the “Cabo Bride” Aesthetic: Baja Luxe
One of the most frequent questions we get is, “What makes a Cabo wedding look like a Cabo wedding?” Through the pages of Cabo Bride Magazine, this is defined as Baja Luxe.
Baja Luxe is a harmony of opposites. It is the rugged, organic textures of the desert, think dried palms, pampas grass, and stone, paired with the sleek, polished lines of modern luxury. It’s a color palette that moves from the bleached whites of the sand to the deep teals of the Pacific and the terracotta oranges of a desert sunset.
Cabo Bride Magazine explores this aesthetic in depth. Through curated editorials, the magazine provides a blueprint for how to use the environment as your primary décor. Whether it’s a minimalist setup at a private villa or a high-drama gala at a luxury resort, the magazine highlights how to achieve a look that feels both international and deeply rooted in Mexican soil.
The Sustainable Baja: Conscious Celebrations
In recent years, the conversation around destination weddings has shifted. Couples are no longer just asking “How will it look?” but also “How will it impact the place we love?” Cabo Bride Magazine is at the forefront of the conscious celebration movement.
The Baja California peninsula is a delicate ecosystem, where the desert meets the sea. As a platform, Cabo Bride Magazine is committed to highlighting vendors and practices that respect this environment. The magazine showcases:
- Farm-to-Table Gastronomy: Highlighting catering teams that source ingredients from organic, local farms, reducing “food miles” and supporting local agriculture.
- Eco-Friendly Florals: Showcasing designers who have moved away from floral foam (which is non-biodegradable) and instead use native flora like succulents, cacti, and dried desert palms that can be repurposed or returned to the earth.
- Supporting Local Artisans: By featuring hand-blown glassware from local glass factories or textiles woven by Mexican artisans, the magazine encourages couples to invest their wedding budget back into the local economy.
- The “Leave No Trace” Philosophy: Resources on how to host beach ceremonies that protect turtle nesting sites and preserve the pristine condition of our shores.
For the modern Cabo Bride, luxury isn’t just about opulence, it’s about intentionality. The magazine serves as a guide for couples who want their first act as a married pair to be one of respect for the destination that hosted their joy.

A Real-World Reflection: Laura & Max at The Cape
To see the Cabo Bride aesthetic in action, look no further than the featured story of Laura and Max Romero. Their wedding was a masterclass in modern coastal elegance, held at the architectural marvel of The Cape, a Thompson Hotel.
The Cape is known for its mid-century modern aesthetic and its unobstructed view of El Arco. For Laura and Max, the goal was to complement, not compete with, the architecture. They chose a monochrome palette of crisp white roses and ethereal clouds of baby’s breath.
The day, expertly planned by our team at Cabo Beach Weddings, featured several viral-worthy moments that were later highlighted by Cabo Bride Magazine.
- The Stationery: Custom vellum menus that caught the sunlight.
- The Personalization: Custom “dog stir sticks” featuring their beloved pet, a detail that resonated deeply with the social media audience.
- The Party: Mirrored disco balls suspended over the terrace, reflecting the moonlight and the neon glow of the reception.
This wedding represents exactly what Cabo Bride Magazine celebrates – weddings that are stylish yet grounded, formal yet full of joy. It shows how the planning expertise of Cabo Beach Weddings provides the foundation, while the storytelling power of Cabo Bride Magazine provides the legacy.
