>Tissue decor...all kinds<
But especially papel picado (those banners you see hanging in Mexican restaurants). I love the colors and the layers of detail. I had always seen custom ones in magazines and on other blogs, but in person they are much better! My family had some made for my brother and his wife for their rehearsal dinner.
My recommendation is to use a lady (Yreina Flores Ortiz) out of California...her listing is on Etsy.
Here is some more of her work I am in-lust with:
>Margaritas<
Best place to drink em on Cinco de Mayo in Houston is at El Pueblito. The atmosphere is perfect. They have all kinds of dancers, kids selling "chicle! chicle!" in the restrooms, cabanas, and fun/delicious drinks. Their margaritas come in coconuts and pina coladas come in pineapples!
>Chips & Salsa<
NUFF SAID.
So far this is my top "Mexican" experience in the states, as far as atmosphere and amusement. Mi Tierra is decorated floor to ceiling, has a wonderful bakery (panaderia) and is in the Market Square (another must visit).
You will forget you are in the USA!
>Pinatas<
I probably buy 3 a year! I love everything about em...the blindfold, the element of surprise, the colors and shapes. Recently I found a gold-mine...Confetti System...AMAZING stuff here. I have seen their work in Bergdorf Goodman adds and most recently in a wedding.
Above is a photo from a wedding I attended...not a pinata, but looks like work by Confetti System.
I am not certain this is Confetti System's work...but it sure does look like it.
Below IS some of CS's work *sigh*
