Wedding Fever: Dia de Los Muertos

Skulls, tequila, and candles, oh my.. some say love never dies. Here are some fun details to incorporate if you're having a Dia de Los Muertos themed wedding.

Gorgeous boutonnieres can be used to carryout this festive theme. I think this is extremely unique and hope to come up with something as creative for my own wedding.

 

For the reception, I would absolutely come in with the traditional face makeup. Its importance and meaning adds to the theme and makes the night very special and memorable.

 

Set a hauntingly joyous atmosphere by using a number of candles in all shapes and sizes.



Incorporate strings of little skulls into your floral arrangements. These can even be more colorful to really draw attention to the centerpieces.

 
 
Design a cake that displays the theme elegantly for all to enjoy.
 
 

For your guests, have a small bottle of tequila at each seat displaying personalized labels to take home. Great idea!

 

Create a station where your guests can paint their own Dia de Los Muertos skulls to also take home with them. A great token to remember your beautiful day.



Last but not least, add a skull train to the 'Just Married' getaway car. A cute way to show all your theme.

 

Devour the details Dia de Los Muertos style with these great ways to incorporate this festive theme into your wedding!

Spades Away

For the future Mrs. Fashionista, show your colorful side by having a Kate Spade themed bridal shower!

These Spade-inspired balloons create a great photo opp for you and your bridesmaids!

 
 
Continuing with décor, carry the colorful theme throughout your shower. The eyeglass frame balloon weights are geeky-chic and the candy and floral arrangements are fun and flirty, encompassing all that is, Kate Spade.
 
 
 
The use of the black and white striped runner on this tablescape emulates Spade's style. Piece different plates and designs together and create a fashionable element by adding a bowtie shaped napkin!
 
 
 
Put your girl Kate on display with these decorative spade cookies.
 
 
 
Give your guests a way to continue living colorfully with these nail polish party favors!
 
 
 
Kate Spade devours the details in her fashion and now you can too. I hope you enjoy these creative elements and continue to live colorfully!

Have A Paw-ty

For all the dog-lovers out there, give your pup a treat this upcoming year with the best birthday paw-ty known to man, or dog for that matter!

Invite all your dog-owner friends over for a barking goodtime. If you're looking to host the party somewhere other than your home, pet stores and dog parks are places where you could have it.

What should your tablescape look like? Puppy bowls with grass centerpieces; make these pups feel super special!

How cute are these fire-hydrant decorations? Of course I would put them outside, just incase the pups mistaken them for real ones! And the puppy balloons are easy to make. Draw on the face and tape on construction paper ears. Adorable!

Organic is the way to go when feeding the hungry pups. Try finding your local dog stores/pet shops and see if they bake treats in-house made with natural ingredients. You can also look up recipes yourself or make something like these peanut butter and jelly filled or cheese "bone-wiches". Yum!

 

 

 
 
Don't send your friends home without a doggy bag! Include some of those organic treats and toys to remember the party by!
 
 

 

Every dog has its day. Show your friends how easy it is to devour the details!
