Nautical party: Jackson is 1!

This nautical theme first birthday party is so sweet! It was styled by my wonderful customer Jenn for her son, Jackson. Even before entering the party, each child received an embroidered sailor hat from Miss LuLu’s. The homemade sign reads, “Ahoy Mates! Grab your sailor hat and come on in!” The front door wreath is a ship’s anchor made from a yarn-wrapped styrofoam ring and wooden stir sticks (so clever!). ...

{one pretty pin} Donut bar

This is such a cool idea. First of all: it’s a donut bar. That’s pretty much all it takes to be cool in my book. ; ) But secondly, check out the chalkboard backdrop that’s doing double-duty as a menu! I love that! Featured pin • Original source: Love Ramsey • Pinned to: Party Decor Ideas

Links I’m Loving: Flamingo party ideas!

Flamingos are a pretty hot party trend for summertime! I love them – I have a thing for birds, and for pink, of course.

How to make cute & creative Art Party Favors

The other week I found the most adorable little paint cans at Michaels, and I thought, those would make the most excellent art party favors! I filled the paint buckets with rainbow colored mini gumballs from Target. The mini size is really cute, but it took quite a few to fill the bucket, so you might want to choose regular size gumballs instead if you have to make lots of favors! Then, I adhered a printable ...

Party Palette: Bright, bold and black

The colors in this holiday party (yes, holiday – forgive me, I do know it’s July!) by Studio DIY are so bright and bold, and I love how they’re balanced with all the white and the graphic pops of black.

{one pretty pin} Gold sequin tablecloth

HELLO showstopper! Oh my, this sequin tablecloth is really amazing, isn’t it? I’m pretty sure the stuff on top of the table is nice, too, if I could get myself to look away from all that sparkle. ; ) This table is from a wedding photo shoot that has tons of eye candy for glitter lovers.

Links I’m Loving: Crazy for pineapples!

Pineapples have been a trend for a little bit now, and I just can’t get enough of them. Never could! My mom loves pineapples and she passed it on to me. In fact the best birthday gift I’ve ever given her was a real live pineapple plant, growing a real live pineapple. You’d have thought she’d won the lottery when she saw it. ; ) Anyhoo, pineapples ROCK!! And here are some ...

Easy (and adorable!) luau party favors

Here’s a great little favor for a luau party that comes together in two seconds flat! Boxes of adorable candy with personalized stickers on top. Cuuuuuute! To make them I started with clear square containers from Oriental Trading. They’re small enough but not TOO small – they hold just the right amount of candy. Then, I filled the boxes with tropical shaped candy from Oriental Trading. Pineapples, flip flops, and palm trees go perfectly with ...
