Fiesta Inspired Bridal Shower

I started with a naturally textured wood tabletop to balance with the bright pops of color. Use a simple and cost effective centerpiece of clear glass bottles filled with single vibrant blooms. Try bottles of different sizes. This centerpiece uses a mix of Clear Vintage Soda Bottles, a Craft Bottle Assortment and vintage bottles I had at home. Dahlias are perfect when you are creating a single bloom centerpiece, they are large and dramatic. I used a mix of golden, orange, magenta and yellow teacup dahlia.

The first time I visited Mexico I fell in love with the vibrant tiles at every corner. Tiles can double as a unique table number and make for a super fun DIY. I used a DIY Ceramic Tile, painted it white and then applied a stencil to achieve the pink painted design. Finally, I used my Cricut to cut out a table number. Alternatively, you can use adhesive stickers to get the look. Sit the tile on a White Mini Wooden Easel Placecard Holder.

I started the layered place setting with a fresh White Scalloped Charger, followed by a Bright Floral Dinner Plate and then a White Elegance Premium Plastic Dessert Plate. This is topped with a Coral Dinner Napkin and a Floral Folding Hand Fan.

At each setting I used elegant Premium Gold Metallic Cutlery and a combination of brightly colored glassware.

A simple wine glass, paired with an elegant champagne flute, a pretty parasol pick and Cactus Tumblers I sprayed bright pink.

Both ribbon and crepe paper are a stylish and modern alternative to papel picado while retaining the vibrant colors combinations and movement of the intricate banners.

I used a combination of coral, teal, yellow and pink ribbon on the seat backs of fresh acrylic chairs.

I then incorporated the same bold yellow, coral, teal and pink color palette into crepe paper streamers as a backdrop for the celebrations. Find out how to create your own bright and bold custom-made hoop backdrop HERE.

Beside the backdrop I set up a small taco bar. The taco bar sign is a simple DIY you can do at home. First, I painted a DIY Unfinished Wood Sign white. Then I cut out the circular paper rosette designs from a set of Fiesta Luminary Bags and used Mod Podge to adhere them to the sign. Finally, I added the words after cutting them out on my Cricut®. If you don't have access to a vinyl cutting machine you could simply paint the letters on yourself or use alphabet stickers.

The table is set with a White Rectangular Polyester Tablecloth and a crepe paper runner. Now let's focus on the tacos! Yum, my favorite. The brightly colored Taco Holders display delicious tacos in all their glory. Condiments are served in Guacamole Bowls.

I also used this table to display a fabulously vibrant pink cake topped with a traditional Mexican paper flower I picked up on holiday there.

No bridal shower is complete without a few fun activities for the party guests. Download the free printables and get the DIY for displaying them HERE.

To style the table I filled a Slanted Medium Round Glass Vase with succulents and a Tall White Ceramic Vase With Gold Trim with more bright blooms.

The final touch for the bar cart were the drinks, or "bebidas."

I created the DIY Wood Plank Sign using the same materials and techniques as the taco bar sign.

I served a twist on the traditional margarita; a blood orange tequila fizz punch served in traditional margarita glasses. Find out how to make this tasty, zesty drink HERE. For sodas and water I provided Floral Print Cups.

I set out small party favor bags on the bar cart for guests to take home.

I made the party favors out of mini yellow treat bags decorated with a Personalized Fiesta Shower Favor Sticker and filled with fun themed candy. Why not take the party home, right?!
