cinco de mayo + DIY details!

In honor of cinco de mayo i have put together this "mexican" themed inspirational post, full of pastels and bright colors.  I have also included a DIY detail that you can add to your wedding or party... signature cocktails!!! happy cinco de mayo! 


{how AMAZING is this dress (above)??? it melts my heart i want it so bad!! i used to have a dress that looked similar, it was pink and white, that my mom made for our cino de mayo festivities in elementary school!}

and what about a yummy blood orange margarita??? Signature cocktails add uniqueness to your wedding or party and they can help cut down on the cost of alcohol because instead of having an open bar (where guests are sure to overindulge) you can offer them a special cocktail or two.

I have been waiting for this day ever since i heard that my most favorite store anthropologie is coming out with a wedding line. It is called BHLDN which is pronounced “beholden,” and is inspired by the Dutch word for “to keep" and it launches today!

Since i won't be needing a wedding dress anytime soon (too bad cause i sure do love that ruffle dress), i guess i will have to get my fix by buying these beautiful "bridesmaids" dress. Of course, there is also all the beautiful accessories.
