Color Me {Pastel}

For the past couple of days my house has been decorated in an array of bright colors, multi toned fringe, and tri-colored streamers. It's been a world of high spirited fun that surely put me in such a good mood just staring at the rainbow of flags draped across my living room that gave me the inspiration for today's post. Why pick just one color when you can have them all? With out a doubt, more colors equal more fun. Granted they all have to coordinate, but an array of coral, mint, lavender, rose, and butter yellow scream of the perfect spring soiree. These pastel shades aren't just for tea parties and baby showers anymore. Try them for a fun ice cream social, an outdoor birthday bash, or even a wedding!

Have a great Monday!

In Full Bloom

A lot of times, my inspiration for parties and posts doesn't come from a theme, place, or holiday but from something simple, a beautiful floral arrangement. Especially in the spring, the fresh blooms are coming up in a variety of colors and textures. Take for example peonies. Their light pink color is gorgeous and their petals have a soft ruffle feel. Translate that into a ruffle trimmed napkin or table linen in a soft shade of pink. The possibilities are endless, especially when you find a gorgeous bouquet and take notes from the variety of colors, shapes, and textures. Have a local florist recreate it for you to complete your look.

I have compiled today a few of the most inspiring bouquets I've seen lately. Hopefully they bring a smile to your face and inspire you as well. Have a great Wednesday!
