They are getting married on the 4th of July and will actually be in full view of this scene, though I doubt the fireworks will only be in their wedding colors : ). Antoinette is the first person that wrote [...]

The Mexican Wedding Flags design came about as a byproduct of my custom design for Renée and José’s Mexican Calla Lilies invitation, and features the traditional papal picado banners, which translates approximately to “cut paper.” Papel picado is a traditional folk art from Mexico which involves cutting intricate designs into colorful tissue paper, then gluing it [...]
