Entertain: Cinco de Mayo

Viva la Mexico! If you live in Texas, you likely get in the spirit of Cinco de Mayo. The Mexican holiday literally takes over the city in much the same way as St. Patrick's Day. We like the idea of celebrating the fifth of May with friends and family and formal yet fun place settings. Inspired by a destination wedding, this radiant look captures the essence of bright and beautiful decor of Mexico with a few simple pieces. The influence of this vibrant culture is seen all along the Southern states. With a bold take on color combinations, it can easily transition into any palette you choose for any event or wedding, not just this festive holiday. If you want to up the glamour, just add precious metals.
