On Thursday I’ll be heading out to beautiful Seattle, WA to watch my big brother get married. I am beyond excited! With that in mind this morning, I wanted to share this incredibly festive wedding I came across recently via Snippet & Ink. Wed in a 400 year old hacienda in Guadalajara, Mexico, I just adore the bride and groom’s sense of style, adventure, and humor. I can’t get over the stunning colors! I must say, one of my favorite details about this wedding were the bottles of tequila at each table. Rather than the traditional champagne toast, the guests enjoyed tequila shots with the bride and groom. These beautiful photos below definitely have me dreaming of a destination wedding.

Dear Deer is an independent design studio and shop located in Guadalajara, Mexico. Showcasing the best of Mexican independent design, Dear Deer is also a venue for local art shows, musical performances, and independent art education.

In their own words, “The ethos of Dear Deer is to enable DIY (‘Do It Yourself’) creativity.  A self sufficient community of art, music, fashion and workshops that encourage all forms of creative thinking between contemporary artists and designers.” Recently, Dear Deer has branched off with their own online magazine entitled, “Oh! Dear” which focuses on independent culture throughout Mexico and all over the world.

It’s fantastic to see what an exciting design mecca Mexico is becoming! I love when I stumble upon amazing venues like Deer Dear, which promotes and features independent designers. I would be thrilled to visit this fantastic shop and studio someday soon! Until then, I’ll just have to enjoy the photos of their lovely space.

Felicitaciones (Dear Deer) por tu hermosa tienda y por tu inmensa ayuda en la promocion de los diseñadores independientes!
