Wedding Inspiration From The Riviera Maya

Couture Events partnered with Joielala Photography to create this fun Fiesta Inspiration Shoot to share with us today.

“While planning for the shoot I took a cruise on to the Mexican Rivera and I was completely inspired by everything around me- the style, culture, and colors of Mexico. While I was there, we found the papel picado, the multi colored paper banners. I also bought the paper flowers hand made by a street vendor in Mazatlan just for the shoot and then asked Paula of Rae Florae to put them together with live flowers to create a beautiful bouquet. She then wrapped them in multi colored ribbon to make it into the perfect “fiesta bouquet”.
