Frida Fiesta

¡Viva La Frida! My friend Lili (owner of Colibri) and I hosted a Frida Khalo themed, private dinner party on July 14th at El Presidio Orchards. We sold out tickets in record time. We had three different table scape designs—-combining vibrant, bold colors, textures, and patterns. We paid great attention to every table scape detail, including vintage ware, regional Mexican pottery, hand selected florals, custom Frida sugar cookies (made by Lorraine) and candles galore to set the tone of the intimate event with Frida touches everywhere.

As guests filtered into the reception, they were welcomed with refreshing margaritas, crispy tortilla chips, and fresh salsas. The memorable celebration carried well into the evening as everyone chatted underneath the sparkling twinkle lights with a ranchera-meets-rock-en-español playlist to liven up the atmosphere. Our guests enjoyed homemade tamales, chicken verde enchiladas, ensalada de nopales accompanied with arroz and frijoles de la olla. Last but not least, creamy flan for dessert!

It was such an unforgettable and magical evening. We look forward to more upcoming dinner events that are unique and pays homage to Mexican culture. A huge thanks to Michelle and Celina for snapping photos.

Un abrazo, Elysia
