Lemon Yellow Celebration Inspiration

Here’s a bit of inspiration teaming with soft yellows and golden accents - reminds me a bit of lemon sherbet, actually, which is just perfect for a summer celebration.

This inspiration board lends itself to any sort of shower, birthday or even for a wedding. Or how about just a summer get-together with friends under the stars?

These miniature yellow bags would look great with a custom stamp and filled with sweet treats.

Below, vintage lace works perfectly as a table cloth, and wild flowers in a matching palette are a beautiful addition to a simple tablescape full of thrift ware finds.

I love this dessert bar with it’s colorful accents and the green grass moat around the base of the cupcakes. We did something similar for a friend using wheat grass, though you could also check out your local home improvement store for flats of grass.

Edible Sugar Butterfly Embellishments for Spring!

Now that spring is well underway and the weather is turning in our favor, how sweet would a butterfly-inspired shower, birthday or {Mother’s Day Lunch} be? I came across these edible butterfly embellishments by Sugar Robot and decided I must use them in a future theme. I may even try this DIY version by Cake Central.

Clean, fresh, sweet spring decor for a day at the park or brunch on the terrace. Project Nursery recently posted this beautiful 1st birthday celebration full of periwinkle, sage and buttercup yellow:

A Pink & Gold Princess Party by Amy Atlas

Amy recently designed a princess party for Brooke Shields and daughter Grier, who celebrated her 4th birthday in style. She sent over these adorable pictures full of inspiration.

From Amy: “Grier is a girly girl and Brooke wanted Grier to feel like a princess at her birthday party. After all, what mom wouldn’t want her daughter to feel like a princess on her special day? We swapped out the typical pink and purple princess party look with a sparkly light pink, rose, and gold color palette. We brought in lots of stars, wands and tiaras into the design. Of course, there had to be a sweets table! However, being that it was a kids party, we made a small dessert table so that the kids weren’t overwhelmed with too many sweets. Included on the table were princess cupcakes, cookies, and some candy for the kids and adults. The little princess and her pals were twirling their wands and dancing throughout the party to princess music. It was really cute!”

The details are adorable! Amy Atlas never fails to impress.

More fun details in this People Magazine story about the Princess Party.
