Superbowl Party

Love this grown up take on a Superbowl Party.  Playing off of the black and white referee outfit, this party is sophisticated and fun without being overly cheesy.  Complete with a build your own taco bar, margarita mixes, commercial bingo and so much more.

Cinco de Mayo Inspiration

Cinco de Mayo is this Saturday and a dessert table like the one below is the perfect way to celebrate.  With an authentic Hacienda flair, this table highlights the Mexican culture's flair for sweets.  Featuring an ombre cake, mini churro cupcakes, mini Mexican hot chocolate cupcakes, Mexican wedding cookies, and Jarritos or Latin sodas.  The soft pastel color palette of greens, blues, and oranges really tie the whole table together.  Love the blue glass platters and the lovely orange blossoms.

Destination Wedding: Mexico

We are officially in Mexico for the weekend.  In continuation of yesterday theme:  gorgeous Mexico destination weddings, here is a charming wedding from Sayulita, Mexico.  Loving the bright colors, hand crafted details, and outdoor charm of this wedding.  And the photos of the bride and groom around town are adorable.  There's so much of their personality in this wedding, which we love seeing.  The bride is part of the duo behind Sitting in a Tree Events.

Puerto Vallarta Wedding

We'll be in sunny Mexico tomorrow for a bachelorette party.  I can not wait for sand and sun this weekend.  With that in mind, I am enamored with this wedding in Puerto Vallarta.  Love the white linens on the sandy beach and the white florals with rustic tables and decor.  The lounge set up is casual and the little details like the the trellises draped in linens, and the escort card dresser are so chic.  And those shots of the couple by the sea-side cliffs are absolutely stunning!
