Cinco de Mayo is coming soon, and this year, more than ever, you and your family deserve to make the most of it with a celebratory party! Often confused with Mexican Independence Day, Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Battle of Puebla. Mexican soldiers under Zaragoza had a major and unexpected victory over the French in 1862. Notably, most people in Mexico do not celebrate this event, nor is it a federally recognized holiday south of the border. That doesn’t mean that you can’t take your fiesta to the next level! Amazingly, in the 1960s, the American Chicano population began to raise awareness about Cinco de Mayo and drew attention to the significance of the day for indigenous Mexicans in particular, whose victory over European colonial forces is celebrated as a remarkable example of indigenous people reclaiming their native land. 

As a uniquely American landmark, this holiday is the perfect backdrop to a full-fledged celebration of Mexican heritage, Mexican-American identity, and culture. Cities with a sizable Mexican-American population typically share in the festivities with parades, mariachi music, folk dances, elaborate traditional outfits, and unique regional cuisines. This holiday has become associated with over-the-top sensory stimulation and joy. No matter what your cultural background is – this celebration is a feast for all of your senses. What are you waiting for? 

Nothing says fiesta better than a lively gathering filled with music and decorations. Complement your Cinco de Mayo celebration with warm colors – spare no use of hot pink, orange, scarlet red, and eye-catching turquoise. Springy accents make a delightful party statement. When it comes to decorating a la botanica, bright, high-contrast looks are the name of the game.

Are you hosting a Cinco de Mayo festivity this year? We love seeing paper-cut flowers adorn our communities and line doorways, windows, and table settings. Initially, the folk tradition of using paper flowers came from a need to substitute for dahlias, marigolds, roses, calla lilies, and other delicate blooms when they were difficult to find. 

This year, bring the real deal to your Cinco de Mayo party with fresh-cut flowers! Your guests will smell and feel the difference. Take your pick of colorful blooms at Allen’s Flower Market. We offer various warm hues, arrangements, and blended bouquets to showcase all that the Spring season has to offer. At Allen’s Flower Market, we share a particular fondness for bringing extra joy and color to your cultural festivities. Our Dawn bouquet pairs vibrant orange roses with mascara orchids and stunning sunflowers – this much gold in one bouquet is a rare delight. Take a modern touch on Diego Rivera’s floral favorite with a beautiful arrangement of Calla Lilies. Our Forever Calla Liles features these stunning, asymmetrical blooms nestled in with looping grasses in a clear glass cube. The fuchsia-colored base of our Fiesta floral arrangement spares no detail. With its firework-like accents, bursting roses, and daisies snuggled in with snake plant leaves, this powerfully bright piece is best accompanied by laughter and dancing.
