I reckon that if you keep things bright, colourful and cheerful it doesn’t matter if you have fusion of cultures (eg the Asian lamps sound lovely). To add to the fusion more, using Indian colours and fabrics could also work while maintaining a latin American flair.
Tapas and mexican food would be excellent. Even having ‘centrepiece’ of a buffet table of a spit roast pig could be cool (even if may yucky some people out).
Having castanets or maracas as wedding favours would be fun and guests would like using them while dancing (may help to break the ice and encourage people who don’t feel comfortable on the dance floor).
Well i’m spanish. i’m half mexican/dominican and my fiance is mexican american. I absolutely like the brazilian culture and their music so i will be giving my dj a list of brazilian music to place in our reception. I have alot of friends that are brazilian.
I like your thought of flowers. Our food will be spanish with some flair of american. We will have chicken cordon bleu but with a spanish twist and salmon with some fantastic rice. For our appetizers we will have quesadillas and tacos to appeal to our mexican side. I don’t reckon you have to try that hard to have spanish flare in the wedding the people are spanish. Have your dj place music that appeals to you and your guest. If you work with a spanish caterer they will give you alot of options to choose from.
