Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner and, inspired by this festive holiday, we thought it the perfect opportunity to showcase some lovely and eye-catching wedding photos. Today we are featuring bold colors, unique décor, dramatic dresses and enormous flowers – timeless ideas that work for any type of wedding, all year long. Margaritas anyone?

For the bride who is looking for something a little different from the traditional wedding, taking inspiration from the brilliant hues and fabulous décor of a Cinco de Mayo celebration may be the perfect fit. Read on for more tips on how to incorporate a little “fiesta” into your wedding day.

Large flowers are an easy way to add vibrance and beauty without going overboard on a particular theme. We love the look of a giant hair flower - it makes a statement all on its own. Or use one type of flower for your bouquet or centerpiece, drawing inspiration from handmade paper flowers.

Traditional Spanish dresses with flowing ruffles are so very elegant and so different from the typical wedding gown. They look good on all figures and body types!

For a modern twist on a whimsical birthday party staple, use lanterns or paper-maché pendants hanging from trees or the ceiling, as inspired by traditional piñatas.

Some other inspired ideas for the reception include using patterned blankets as overlays on the tables, serving a citrus flavored cocktail as a signature drink, or even have a mariachi band kick off the night!
