The Day of the Dead celebration is of life and death. It is traditional to wear brightly colored clothes and to adorn oneself with flowers. Many people wear traditional Mexican clothing, such as an embroidered Puebla dress or a long, flowy lace dress. Others opt for more elaborate costumes with lots of colorful details. No matter what you wear, be sure to include plenty of fresh flowers in your ensemble. Flower crowns are a popular accessory for this holiday.
