Cinco de Mayo Wedding Theme: Brides and Bridesmaid

Here are a couple of inspiration dresses for you and your bridesmaids that go well with a Cinco de Mayo theme. I have selected dresses that remind me of a sexier version of Cinco de Mayo Wedding theme. I have also chosen bridesmaid dresses that match the color palette of this theme and one that is similar to the bride's dress. So take a look and tell me what you think.

Vintage Wedding Look: Using Doilies

If you're like me, the sound of doilies makes you picture your grandmother's house.  Doilies places so delicately underneath a lamp to enhance the look of the living room or to cleverly collect dust. Whatever purpose it served, the memories of doilies are not that of a modern day girl. Apparently, after extensive research on DIY doily projects, I have to admit that doilies have come a very long way. Today, I have chosen DIY doily projects to give character to an Affordable Vintage Wedding Look.  I am amazed at the possibilities.

Bridesmaids: Little Black Dress

Every girl has a little black dress, that perhaps is their every occcassion dress.  Something about a black dress that makes you feel good and reach for it at the sound of a celebration. I'm not talking about a short black dress that you reach for to go out to the clubs...no, no, no. I'm talking about a dress you feel confident and perhaps sexy in but in a modest way.

Since for the most part every girl has a black dress in their closet, have you considered letting your bridesmaid wear their little black dress to save on cost? I understand this may make you nervous, but you would of course approve of it first. But if for some weird reason, your bridesmaids don't have a black dress don't dismay. Below I have chosen some black bridesmaid's cocktail dresses that I'm sure will suit every girls budget.  Finish your bridesmaid's look with accessories of your wedding colors, and you have yourself a happy bride and happy bridesmaids.
