Day-of-the-Dead Theme Weddings
...'til death do us part
Day of the Dead wedding themes are becoming popular all over the U.S., England, France, Australia and Canada because couples are embracing the beautiful concept of the holiday. Day of the Dead reminds us that life is short, the cycle of life marches on, our loving relationships will last a lifetime and the spirits of the dead are always with us.
Couples use Day of the Dead imagery because they like what it means. Amor Eterno ~ Eternal Love and Til Death Do Us Part are sayings with special meaning. It's a great way to celebrate life as a couple starts a new life together. It's fun, colorful and a joyous way to throw a wedding.
We help over 500 brides & bridal consultants a year with folk art, cake toppers, hand cut papel picado banners, milagros, wedding favors and chocolate molds. Check out our photo gallery and inspiration web links below. |

Day of the Dead
Energy Drink
Tired of Toro Rojo? But still interested in an energy drink to restore your razzle? I confess, I bought it for the adorable can. How cool is this? But we cracked some open last week and it's really good! It's an effervescent wild berry taste that isn't super sweet. Thirst quinching.
Since living here Sonoma Wine Country, I can honestly say, "it has wild berry bouquet, cempasuchil undernotes and a sugar skull finish. Plus, one turns heads when drinking at the Starbuck's patio. Perfect for Day of the Dead parties or at weddings before the bar opens! This drink has caffine but much less than the famous brands. Not a soda for children.

We ordered the pre-made sugar skulls, the hand-painted calavera bride and groom glasses, and a Dia de Los Muertos cake topper from you guys a couple of years ago for our wedding, and I wanted to give you the pictures. My husband and I had small Alturas as centerpieces, for those of our family that could not be there, and decorated the sugar skulls for them. In the other picture, you can see our cake topper and the glasses we ordered.
Everything we got from you was beautiful, and everyone who was at our wedding asked where we had gotten everything. Thank you so much.
- Jeff and Angela B.
