Time to start brainstorming on that New Years Decor…

New Years Eve…a time of new reflection, new beginnings and parties!!! I still love the gold decor that runs wild on this night. Here are some fab party ideas, place settings and tablescapes with the bronze and gold hues. With 2 weeks away, I figured I’ll give yall a head start on some ideas…

This appears to be some neat crafty projects using paper and garland. I hate garland with a passion, it just screams 90s and old Christmas decor but you can always improvise and use it in other ways. On the base of a hat is actually pretty neat…

Cake stands keeps the party favor bags together…

Michael’s and Jo-Ann Fabrics (they should really cut the check as much as I shout them out on this blog) have 3D cardboard letters that one can dip in glitter to match the scheme you’re going with. They literally cost a couple bucks…

 

A combination of fishing line and metallic wrapping paper can get you a Martha Stewart streamer creation. I actually did this for a client’s wedding once. It turned out pretty nice and the silver paper glimmered beautifully against the dimmed candlelight and chandeliers. See it HERE…

Tie together a bunch of lanterns, paper balls and streamers to create fun ceiling arrangments…

I love a creative display for food and we all see the typical platters with veggies but how about these displays? Above is a neat way to have a salad bar…

A lot of these vases can be purchased at dollar stores or Michael’s & Jo-Ann Fabric. Don’t forget those 40% off coupons via the Sunday’s paper or online…

Saturday Sunday Shindig: Fun pumpkin & Halloween decor ideas…

{All You}

I figured I might as well give you some ideas for any Halloween bashes since we have one week left.

 

 So you want to have some curb appeal whenever you’re decorating for any holiday. It’s always a fine line between festive and cheesy. I don’t cosign cheesiness. What I do cosign is chic whimsical decor. For those of you who are really into it, a half gallon of paint will be more than enough to give your door a pop of color. I think this works well if the palette of your home is already neutral. A lot of you all have outdoor seating. Perfect opportunity to switch out the pillows and cushions for ones in whatever Halloween color scheme you’re going with. I personally like the following: red, cranberry & black…black, white & orange…orange, black & purple or black, gunmetal, silver. A feather wreathe is something Pier 1 would have.

Love these bats. It’s festive without overdoing it. A simple plant urn with pumpkins adds to the fun…

Speaking of urns, how about this fun idea with mannequin legs?

Fall is in full swing and people are preparing for not only Halloween but just the seasonal indulgences. One of those is baking and cooking with apples. Yours truly still has a couple bites left of an apple crisp I made. Decorating for a get2gether will be quite nice with these centerpieces as well as stationing an apple cider bar.

Saturday Sunday Shindigs: Decorating w/Balloons…

I’ve come across some pretty photography and ideas on decorating with balloons…

Though the above was intended for a person leaving love notes for their significant other, you can take this idea by attaching childhood pics or pics of the couple for an engagement party…

Instead of ribbon, use lace when decorating for a bridal shower or bachelorette bash…

Worried people won’t know where to go? Line the entire walkway or leave a trail to the location instead of signage with arrows…

Hang balloons from the ceiling with ribbon as long as there’s no helium….

Saturday Sunday Shindig: Outdoor Movie Night…

Ever since I found out we have a drive in 35 mins away from Milwaukee, I’ve been super geeked (excited) about going. I never been to one and love the idea of watching a movie on a hot summers night. I used this pic before but forgot what the post about. I think a really cool laid back birthday party or a just-because-its-nice-outside idea is to create a movie night in your backyard or rooftop. Let’s say you’re engaged and you want to let people know. Show them a homemade “save the date” video in this format. This idea is also nice for an engagement evening party. The couple can use this as a way of showing home videos or a slide show of pics. You can rent projectors and use a white sheet (making sure it’s stretched and sturdy) to create your own screen. This post has all sorts of creative ideas, even ways to make makeshift cars out of boxes for kids so they can feel like they’re at a drive in.

You can’t have a movie shindig without popcorn. Why not have a GOURMET POPCORN BAR full of different flavors for guest. Either put them in APOTHECARY JARS or bowls. From the dollar store, you can get the festive carnival styled popcorn bags or buckets for them to fill up. Have trays available for guest to easily transport their snacks.

Go to the dollar store to get your chocolate. You will save so much money. Go to any party supply store to get tickets just to keep it festive. Have a kid act as the cashier and take tickets from guest to”purchase” snacks and beverages.

Love the vintage look of soda crates and movie wheels. A neat way to be festive. Have lots of blankets or cushions and tons of pillows. To save on cost, make it a BYOB (bring your own blanket) & pillow party and indicate it on the invites so guest are prepared…

Saturday Sunday Shindig: Rock Glamour

If you want a rock 80s styled party then check out the decor for this. The gold chairs with black tablecloth & pink accents is a perfect color scheme. I especially dig the graffiti guestbook. Such a unique way to have memories of all those who attended. Best of all, this could possibly be hung up as art in a room.

Funny that I founf all images of this post on the Hostess Blog. However the bottom pics are from a totally different shindig but they would work so well together for a rockin 80s bash. Gotta incorporate records somewhere and I love how the craft paper ties the color scheme from that party together. One could do the same in pinks, black & gold…

Saturday Sunday Shindigs…

This is a new series I plan on doing every weekend. Since starting this blog I’ve been figuring out how to marriage the events portion with the interior design. So I decided what better way than to showcase party inspiration on the weekend, primarily when shindigs take place. So be inspired & indulge…

A cute favor ideas…

Dressing up a table can be stylish & fun. Tissue paper pom poms, lanterns and diy streamers clustered together or hanging from the ceiling can make for a pretty focal point…

A very cool guestbook idea. Get a blank scrapbook album and paste one side of an envolope down.
