I love skull jewelry, especially when it comes to arm candy like this skull beaded bracelet. I'm lucky enough to have a skull bracelet thanks to my friend Little Miss Mamaand have even made one myself for my sister's birthday! But if you aren't DIY savvy, there are plenty of skull bracelets, rings, and necklaces you can find online and in shops to purchase for yourself and for your bridesmaid to wear during your Dia de Los Muertos wedding day.

In a Dia de Los Muertos wedding theme, skulls are smiling and so are your guests as they take a look at these adorable cookies they get to take home! This is one of the reasons I love this holiday, it takes a sad moment and turns it into a celebration. Don't remember the loss of your loved ones, remember their life while dancing, drinking, and eating in their honor!
This is not a theme that has to be filled with skulls to get the point across, a Dia de Los Muertos wedding theme is about what the day means to you and bringing the memories of your loved ones to life. The skull details only help to show that Dia de Los Muertos is about the dead and those we lost. Remember to be playful and have lots of colorful details like the paper picado banners in your Dia de Los Muertos wedding theme to keep with the happiness of the celebration. Is this a theme you are considering for your big day?
