Pretty Party Inspiration

{Photography by Adelino Lobo.}

I spotted this gorgeous party inspiration on Somewhere Splendid the other day and thought it would be fun to add my own little board of picks to go along with it. I love that this project dreamed up by Simplesmente Branco and Pinga Amor incorporates objects that many of us have on hand (scrap paper, mismatched dishes, etc) to create a whimsical setting that is perfect for this coming Valentine's Day or any special celebration (just change the paper colors for a completely customizable look). They had me at 'repurposed braille newspaper' (did you even know that such a marvelous thing existed)!

As for the decorations — follow these links to learn how to make paper rosettes, tissue paper flowers, crepe paper flowers, Hanging Paper Flowers, Paper Roses (like the large kraft ones above), Super Easy Paper Flowers (like the small kraft ones above), DIY Scrap Paper Garland or 3-D Paper Garland. I also have a cute little DIY Paper Decoration/Gift Topper I'll share tomorrow - it would look really cute with this party concept. xo Ez

I love the garland. Have been collecting ideas for Valentine's Day garlands all night. I totally love chains of hearts and will add yours to the list. My Valentine's Day Birthday Party theme just oozes love with hearts draping every surface.
