Day of the Dead (or Día De Los Muertos in Spanish) is celebrated from 31st October to 2nd November across central and south Mexico, and by Mexicans all over the world. The holiday focuses on remembering friends and family members who have died, but has grown in popularity as a wedding theme over the last few years.
Whilst a tradition to honour the dearly departed might not be the obvious choice for your special day, the bold colours and sugar skull motif make for a striking palette, and would certainly fool your guests – who’ll likely presume getting married this week means a Halloween theme. It might not be the most culturally sensitive nod to the celebration, but plenty of stationers, cakemakers and stylists have tapped into the ‘Til Death Do We Party’ pun as a way to fuse the Day of the Dead with weddings.
