Insipiration boards for Breakfast at Tiffany's

Classic Tiffany blue and white:
What more can a girl ask for? Just make sure you get the color right!

This style is perfect for sweet sixteens, bridal showers, birthday parties, mitzvahs and not just weddings! The beauty is in the details, that's why getting the color just right isn't an option but a must. Then you can turn your focus to more important aspects such as favors, desserts, and centerpieces. Below you get a taste for the mini cakes shaped in the traditional Tiffany box that make for a perfect dessert. The Tiffany box shaped candle is great for table decor; while the key chain is a perfect gift for the hostess. The diamond shaped paper weights are a usable and well suited favor and let's not forget the party girl behind the silver frame with sign that says emma & co ~ what a photo-op!


The many shades of Tiffany:
Adding shades of pink and gold add a touch of elegance.

Combining colors allows you to add dimension to the event. So now instead of a Tiffany theme you have a Tiffany inspired decadence for all things girlie. This is perfect for bridal showers & baby showers and best suited for breakfast brunches. Allowing for your theme to really come across as something special. My absolute favorite is the idea of stacking boxes in Tiffany blue as centerpieces.



The ultimate Breakfast at Tiffany's tribute:
A true black and white affair, and the invite will say just that!

This is perfect for engagements, birthday dinners, bachelorette parties, and a girls night out. If guests are staying over night I think the most special thing you can do is leave a Breakfast at Tiffany basket or bring it along as a hostess gift. Introducing the black and white damask puts an updated spin on this timeless affair.

July party of the month - DESTINATION:LOVE

Bon Voyage Single Life
Destination:LOVE

The theme stemmed from Luggage Tags that the bride-to-be bought from Kate Aspen. The bride-to-be's mom asked me to center the party around that idea and so there it came to me ~Lets throw a Bon Voyage party! Hence the name Bon Voyage Single Life; Destination:LOVE! The colors where brown and aqua marine & the motif had to be a palm tree.

My most favorite project of it all was making a sandy beach place card holder. I took two pieces of styrafoam and used popsicle sticks to wedge them together. I then lined the edge of the foam with the colored sticks and put 2" brown grosgrain ribbon around the foam that could still be seen. I ordered flip flop placecard holders from Kate Aspen and made a sign from scrapbook stickers for the center of the board. Then I collected sand and shells from my local beach to decorate and at last the place card centerpiece was born. Needless to say it was the talk of the party that and the Bon Voyage sign that I made from buildasign.com.

There was bridal bingo, icebreaker envelopes, scratch off tickets, advice cards, and who knows the bride - all with the same colors and motif. Of course no bridal shower is complete with out chocolate lolipop umbrella's made up in white chocolate, personalized ribbon, and game prizes all theme related. All this with a budget of $500 - it pays to be crafty! Jen and I now offer Party Planning as a service since we have all these great contacts that we would love to share with our customers. If interested just let us know and we can start on your very next event!
