Dia de los Muertos

 


The Desert Botanical Garden went all out for this year's Day of the Dead celebration.  They had decorations, food, entertainment and vendors situated all over the garden.

I loved the giant arch they created at the garden's entrance and I had to get a photo of the wonderful greeters.  













There were beautiful costumes, decorative face painting and flowers and music everywhere.  I went Sunday afternoon and enjoyed seeing how everyone was in a festive mood.

I decided that I needed a floral headdress so I would blend right in with the crowds of people.

The arch is a lot of flowers, I intend to see the gardens in January, I need to book travel for that trip.

Love your headdress! The costumes are fantastic. Is there a significance to the color orange? The arch reminds me of orange marigolds I saw used in Hindu celebrations in India.
