"We ordered the pre-made sugar skulls, the hand-painted calavera bride and groom glasses, and a Dia de Los Muertos cake topper from you guys a couple of years ago for our wedding, and I wanted to give you the pictures. My husband and I had small Alturas as centerpieces, for those of our family that could not be there, and decorated the sugar skulls for them. In the other picture, you can see our cake topper and the glasses we ordered.
Everything we got from you was beautiful, and everyone who was at our wedding asked where we had gotten everything. Thank you so much." - Jeff and Angela B. |
