Party Palette: Tasseled pom poms

I just love not only these DIY tasseled pom poms, but also the color palette they’re made in! The sherbet tones in coral and pink are so pretty and just say “summer.” The hint of metallic gold puts it over the top! See more photos and learn how to make these tasseled pom poms at Shop Sweet Lulu. Photo: Shop Sweet Lulu Check out more “Party Palettes” (color palettes to ...

Guests also ate “alligator eggs” and “alligator nests” (chocolate eggs and pretzel rods). The personalized water ...

{one pretty pin} Simple sweets table

I love the simplicity of this party table, with its all-white candy, clear and pink glass serving dishes, and the huge pink balloons. More isn’t always more, is it? Not when a sweets buffet is as pretty as this. : ) Featured pin • Photographer: Ananda Lima • Original source: 100 Layer Cake • Pinned to: Sweet Pink Parties

Easy Easter egg nest cakes

These Easter egg nest cakes aren’t just adorable, they’re so easy to decorate that your kids can help!

You could even add a marshmallow Peep chick as the “mother hen” (although I think the nests are so sweet and simple just with the eggs!). To get the cake recipe and decorating instructions, ...

Party Palette: Up up and away

This soft and sweet party table was for an “up up and away” themed baby shower. The color palette of blues, yellow, and just a hint of green is a sophisticated nod to both land and sky. I’m also a huge fan of the white backdrop, which adds so much texture and character without adding color! See more from this lovely baby shower at Sugar Coated Mama.
