When it comes to decorating a party, whether it be a bridal shower, a birthday party, or a wedding….consistently using a couple of common items can help you pull a theme together. Take for example, buttons and ribbons. Easy to find at your local craft or fabric store – when used in just two basic colors, it helps to give the event a cohesive look.
For this event, I chose a color palette of bold kelly green and royal blue. Once the seasons start changing and all of the summer flowers are gone – I crave COLOR – and bright colors are an easy way to make a party feel a little more festive. The green wine glass invitation from Tiny Prints is actually a Christmas party invitation…..but it works perfectly for a wine tasting, a cocktail party, or in this case, a bridal shower! As you can see, buttons and ribbons are used to decorate the vases, the cake, the dessert buffet and the party favors. A simple and affordable embellishment – give it a try at your next party!
