* Inspired: Cinco de Mayo

Posted on May 2nd, 2011 by Jeannie. Filed under Beauty, Color Palettes.


What is not to love about Cinco de Mayo? Besides Mexico’s historical victory, I love to celebrate their colorful heritage — and the terrific things associated with it! I am very drawn to events/weddings which embrace their color palette, joy … and tequila! Here’s a little inspiration from Etsy sellers we heart.

1. Biodegradable Confetti Eggs - Love these for an event or wedding. 2. Personalized Bottle Wraps - a magical touch for your event. 3. Festive Stoneware plate 4. Custom-made banners - some of the most gorgeous I have seen! 5. Las Guittaras - just a stunning, vibrant photo!
