inspiration : mexico

Posted: March 2nd, 2010 | Filed under: places, travel | 5 Comments »

I just spent five days warming my 30-year-old soul and visiting my family in San Pancho, Mexico, a blissful, sleepy town rocked gently all day by the Pacific Ocean. The colors are my favorite characteristic of the country — hot pink doorways and bright orange walls. I didn’t set off on a photographic mission but I did snap some photos of inspiring images as I came upon them: tiles, flowers, bottles hanging from trees as decoration, a tasty Pacifico, the beach, each more delicious than the next.

    I am so glad you posted this. I am getting married in Mexico, and can’t seem to pick a theme for invitations. What would your interpretation of our invitations be, based on these images? We dont want it to look like “the beach,” we want it to be more special and unique. any advice you have would be great! and thanks for your wonderful blog, i read it every day :)

    I have to say I live in sunny Miami and this collection/collage of photos is so inspiring!

    Maria, I suppose my vote on invites would to go bold with beautiful, bright colors. I love the hanging paper cutout flags (http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/cm/goodhousekeeping/images/nG/02Banners2-de.jpg) that you see everywhere in Mexico and I think it would be really cool to incorporate something like that in your design.

    Send in the designs once they’re done, I’d love to see them!
