MODERN CINCO DE MAYO INSPIRATION

Right now I’m dreaming of Mexico City modern and bold color-blocking in warm hues. When I came across this dinner party in Bon Appetit, I fell in love with the simple elegance of the event. I’m getting ready to put together a modern Cinco de Mayo tabletop, and I wanted to share this drool-worthy inspiration from the dinner party above and the fabulous Frida Kahlo, both of which I’ve been keeping in mind as I design the table. I’ve been feeling a strong pull towards the sun-faded warmth of Mexico’s palette and I wanted to bring a fresh look to Cinco de Mayo with a simple tabletop broken up by solid colors. See more inspiration and a sneak peek of the products I’m using below… And see more Cinco de Mayo recipes and products from this post’s sponsors Old El Paso and Avocados from Mexico.
