This past weekend we threw a shower for my sister at my house. Her primary color for her upcoming ceremony is turquoise, so off I went! Give the dog a bone right? Although I am happy to say, that for the decorating, all that I actually went out and bought were the balloons - not bad.
You might be asking yourself "What is that hanging over the counter?" Well it is indeed a stick...straight from my backyard.
My neighbors might think I have lost my mind, but I dug around to find just the right one - size actually does matter here - and I attached it with a few "S" hooks.
Then I started hanging lanterns, crystals, ribbon and a few words for the happy couple.
And for the dessert - we made cupcakes and displayed them on a cake stand that was actually one of their gifts - just putting it to good use!
Here is one of my latest cake stands made from a plate and candle holder
I love the large sprinkles on top - they seemed to almost shimmer.
And of course no party is complete without the amazing cake cookies...
And a few other little details...
And tomorrow I will show you how I switched from Shower to Super Bowl!
