Mexican Table Decorations for a Fiesta

Mexican table decorations for a fiesta must look over the top, literally! That’s why we are presenting tables that are adorned with the coolest of cool accessories. For example – flower pots, serapes, piñatas, and tissue paper crafts. When it’s a fiesta party that you are planning, the tables in no way can look dull. It’s very “Un-Mexican” to even think of going simple and plain! What you can do is grab some terracotta vases or pots, and then top these up with colorful fresh flowers or artificial ones, and as a finishing touch, place a few gorgeously woven serapes under them as table mats or runners.

There are so many creative ways to add the party flavor to your fiesta tables. Laying out a colorful spread of food also helps in bringing a festive cheer to the décor. You can take the help of tissue paper flowers, glass votive holders with candles, piñatas, or sombreros for making the tables the focal points at your party.

Mexican Tissue Paper Table Decorations

Mexican table décor will look bland if you do not put up tissue paper crafts. Flowers made of tissue papers in a variety of colors are an integral part of any fiesta. For a festive table décor, craft out tissue paper pinwheels or decorations and spread these over the table’s sides, or cut out colorful flags and stick these inside glass jars or vases filled with candies or other accessories.

Favor boxes too can bear tissue paper decorations when you embellish them with colorful paper designs. You can add other features, such bright colored sombreros along with these paper crafts. A Mexican table can be adorned using a number of ideas and there are no hard and fast rules.

So, get ready to pick some cool ideas. From colorful flags, flowers, and piñata decorations to paper crafts on sombreros, there is a lot to choose from.
