Day of the Dead is one of my favorite holidays. Yes, it is often over-shadowed by the candy fueled, costumed extravaganza that is Halloween, but to me, Day of the Dead is really special. Not only is it the perfect time to honor our loved ones who have passed away, but it’s rife with decorating possibilities as well. The beautiful colors of Mexico (where this holiday originated) truly lend themselves to festive, lively decor. This inspiration shoot was based around Frida Khalo but if you are not a fan, the colors and textures, not to mention a fancy bottle of tequila at each table, would be a delight for guests at any occasion.
