DIY Framed Wire

This great project from under the sycamore was originally intended to hold memory cards and photos. I'm thinking this would make a pretty display of photos for a party, but also a great way to display placecards. Use clothes pins to hang the placecards to the wire. Perfect for a rustic, farm-inspired, outdoor celebration. The yellow color spray paint she chose for the frame is perfect for summer. Find the complete how-to here.

DIY Framed Canister Labels

Wanna add a little more elegance to the labeling at your parties? Here's a great idea from Honey and Maple Syrup. She used them to dress up her kitchen canisters, but use them to dress up canisters for a party. How pretty would these look on canisters filled with meringues, cookies and colorful candies? Or if you have purchased printables, put them in these little frames to give them some extra pizzazz. Small round or square frames will work. Visit here for the complete tutorial.

Merry Monday: Yellow Bridal Shower

With the warm weather setting in, I'm feeling great anticipation to start entertaining outdoors. It'll be nice to take the parties outside soon, and I'm guessing you're feeling the same way, too! Here is a perfect summer yellow themed party I found on Elizabeth Anne Designs that would work really well for Mother's Day, bridal shower or a general outdoor garden party.

This pretty, rustic bridal shower was hosted by Carolyn Brandhorst of The Papery of Philadelphia. The event was styled by Evantine Designs and photographed by Laura Novak. One of the big reasons I chose to feature this party is because of all the pretty accommodations they made for their outdoor guests: the beautiful parasols (that also add to the decor), spray bottles and handkerchiefs with iced lemon water. It's so important to consider these things when you have an outdoor party. If your guests don't feel comfortable, they're not going to have a good time. I hope these beautiful photos help you get ready to party outside! Visit here to see the full post at Elizabeth Ann Designs.

DIY Accordion Streamers

I celebrated a birthday yesterday (never mind which number it was!). So, since I'm still in a celebratory mood, I thought these fun, zig zag streamers from Jordan Ferney of oh happy day would be a nice ending to the week. I love the rainbow colors she used. They're so easy that even her son helped her make them! Find the how-to for these funky streamers here. And I hope you do a little celebrating yourself this weekend, however small. Cheers!
