Cinco de Mayo Wedding Theme

Cinco de Mayo is a couple days away and I thought I would share a festive wedding theme. Ever considered a Cinco de Mayo Wedding Theme? If you are like me and saw nothing but bright colors, sombreros, panchos, etc, at the sound of this theme, think again. I definitely was thinking this way and while there is nothing wrong with that, I wanted to seek something that would say Cinco de Mayo theme in a classy way with lighter colors. I would like to call this a desert mirage in pastels...maybe too dramatic.

Love these centerpieces. Not sure if they used dried pinto beans to fill the bottom of these vases but if they did that is cleaver. If they didn't then I'm clever for thinking about this...just kidding. Gives it an illusion of being in the desert.

DIY Mexican Banners or the proper name for them Papel Picado (Perforated Paper).  These are pretty neat. I made simple ones for a sister's get together and hung them from one corner to the next in the kitchen.  If you prefer a classier version use square doilies or wide laced fabric like the one demonstrated after the color palette picture. Feel free to comment.


                             If you are not feeling crafty check out some selections through Amazon.

                                                              White Mexican Wedding Banner $17.50

                                                                       64 Beautiful Succulents $68.00

These will make great favors for your guests. Another option would be to grow them yourself. I've never experimented with these so I would do some research first before trying to grow them. They look so pretty.  Buy Succulent seeds.

                                                   Stay tune for more inspirations on this theme.
