What do you get when you combine hot sauce bottles, ranunculus and papel picado banners? Only the most colorfully gorgeous rehearsal dinner I have ever laid my eyes upon. With a powerhouse of vendors including styling from Jeanie of Details, Details and Sunny of White Lilac, Kellan and Brandon held a fiesta fit for a wedding day celebration. If you are as huge a fan of color as I am, you might want to take a seat. This is about to get realllly good.

Kellan and Brandon had a destination wedding in Laguna Beach California, as most of their friends and family lived out of the area. Brandon’s Family hosted a rehearsal dinner at El Adobe as their family loves good Mexican food, being all from Missouri, this was such a treat. Margaritas and Mariachis added to the fun space. The cheese enchiladas were to die for and the flan is the best in town. Sunny from White Lilac transformed the space with colorful flower poufs and cut out banners throughout the entire ceiling. If you look closely you will find several strands were custom cut with Kellan and Brandon names embedded into the art. She found beautiful patterned and velvet runners that were overlaid on soft buttery yellow linens. Tissue flowers were adorned on each napkin along with variety of vivid ribbons. My favorites were the hot sauce bottles, and Mexican sodas bottles, used as bud vases along with jalapeno cans filled with ranunculus, parrot tulips, anemones and fresh mint. Amazing gift bags were created by Diana Phillips and were such a treat for every guest, as it was filled with goodies like dark chocolate truffles (her specialty) cocoa chili chips, strawberry mini mints and even little pouches of Tylenol. The paper goods from Details a la Carte were perfectly fitting with the festive borders and woven materials. Kellan and Brandon wanted a lively, colorful, welcoming event and it was nothing short of that!

How I wish I knew someone in MA who could design a Mexican-themed rehearsal dinner just like this for me! Oh who oh who could I get to do such a thing!? ;)
Love this! What a perfect rehearsal dinner - or even a great party idea. Just looks so fun and festive.
i want those lanterns! too cute.
Me too! Where can I find those lanterns?? I love this idea and colors are amazing :)
The lanterns are originally white, they painted them. I am ordering some for my wedding as well. I found them on amazon.com. Lots of places on the net have them just google "white scrollwork candle lantern".
I love the centerpieces! I think I could do a version of these myself for my reception and save a bunch!
WOW LOVE it!
the bright colors are just gorgeous! and the table lanterns are so charming -- LOVE the personalized papel picado banners!
This makes me want to have a fiesta! Love the color combo! Well done!
The lanterns look like they were purchased at ZGallerie. Search for the Casablanca Lanterns on the ZGallerie site to see the multiple colors. They do not have to be painted.
This is perfection! I love, love, love the tablescapes, the colours, the hanging banners. Love!
This is gorgeous! I love all the color. FUN but still very classy.
So bright and fun. Wish I was a guest. Makes me want to kick back, have a fruity margarita and some good Mexican food!
Bright, fun and cheery - with a touch of spice! Lovely palette for the spring and summer seasons we're heading in to!
This post inspires me. I want to break out the spray paint and re-vamp some of our studio decor.

I love the colored lanterns on the table! Anyone know where those are from? Wonder if they painted those themselves! So fun, definitely a venue for celebration!
I was Kellan's MOH in this wedding and it was STUNNING!! Sunny and Jeannie couldn't have done a better job putting it together - and Victor captured it perfectly. Definitely the most amazing rehearsal dinner I have been to!
