100 Layer Cake: Festive Mexican Style Wedding

100 Layer Cake - Prepare to swoon over today’s wedding. It’s got all the makings of a true Latin celebration. Bold colors + festive details + lots of sweets + the MOLAA (Museum of Latin American Art) in Los Angeles. We can only imagine how much fun Christina, of Simply Modern Weddings, must have had designing around Elyzza + Michael’s Mexican and Ecuadorian cultures! Considering our current Pop-up Shop is all about honeymooning in Mexico, we couldn’t help ourselves from sharing this colorful gem, shot by Ashley Rose.

Helpful tip to know about some venues: E + M saved $1,000 on booking both the reception and garden area (where the ceremony took place) at the MOLAA by switching their date to Friday instead of Saturday!

 These colorful panels with paper flowers were their place cards!

Wanting to go with something different for a guest book that they knew they could keep and use later down the road, Elyzza purchased a large traditional ceramic jarro for $80 and had guests sign it with bright pens.

Felicidades, Elyzza + Michael!

I was expecting to see a very tall cake with 100 layers when I read the title.

So colorful and so beautiful and so well designed. Most important is happy atmosphere.
the first time i read this blog, i thought on the wedding there were truly 100 layers cake, but doesnt seem like that. i dont see the cakes there on the picture, or may be the photographer forget to take the picture of the cake. anyway the party was so colorful. the idea of using traditional ceramics is briliant.

The greatest gift the wedding planner has is the way they can take the impossible and make it all possible! And looking good. I've been invovled in over 50 different "wedding celebrations" and it is very important to treat all wedding planning not just as a business but as art...

This wedding is so lively. The things around were so beautiful. Please humor my curiosity, why 100 Layer Cake in the title above? Is it really that the cake has 100 layer?
I would love to have this type of wedding. I want such type of wedding since it creates a colorful and nice ambience to the guests. Thanks for sharing this.

What a lovely arrangement. It really reminds me of a Peruvian wedding actually. Very classy yet not ostentatious.

Always looking for something new. We travel to do lots of Latino weddings in North Carolina. Our photographs really capture all the bright fiesta colors. Fun weddings.

The colors make the fun! We have done several Mexican weddings in the Durham and Wilmington areas in North Carolina. They were festive and VERY colorful. It was a joy.
Wow what a colorful and exciting wedding. The theme had continuity from her colored flower hair accessory to her fabulous wedding decor.
