loving confetti

Jenny's amazing confetti table cloth for Oh Happy Day reminded me this afternoon of my deep love for this simple party supply. The colorful paper pieces instantly make you smile and throwing some in the air makes you feel as giddy as a kid. Really, try to frown while your tossing confetti, just try.I think when it comes to confetti, keep it simple and colorful. Circles are classic, a mix of shapes, is super fun, and metallic is glamorous. Use it to decorate a gift, to dress up a simple invite, or just to add a little fun wherever it lands.top photo from decor8, middle photo from Oh Happy Day, bottom photo by my husband.

party pins

It seems like we are in full party/wedding season around here and we are excited to now be planning and creating for my sisters upcoming birthday party. Since we have yet to coin an appropriate name for the event (our pinterest board is named hippie vintage fall-fest dead people party, if that gives you any idea), here are some of our inspiration pins. I am so excited to see how it all comes together this weekend.

fall engagement party

This weekend we had the honor of hosting an engagement party for our dear friends, Jordan & Stacy. We loved having them in our wedding and are so excited to help them get ready for their own!

The theme of the party was simply inspired by the colors of fall. We are smack in the middle of that perfect North Carolina autumn weather that is perfect but so fleeting. We got to light up the fire pit, pull a table of food outside, and wrap up in warm sweaters while we all celebrated. Here are a autumn inspired details we put together for the party.
Fringed garlands and hanging paper decorations.
Golden pumpkins that were so simple and so pretty.
A floral gradient.
Candy corn favor bags that I made after falling in love with these.

chalkboard party hats

For our friend's birthday celebration over the weekend I created some impromptu party hats and decorations with some supplies found in my studio. I was pleasantly surprised when I came across my chalkboard paint when trying to find the right color to paint some old party hats. Chalkboard party hats! Genius! These came together with a couple coats of chalkboard paint and a few feet of colorful tinsel wire, all in under ten minutes. I shared a tutorial of this diy over here yesterday. Super easy and super fun to make your friends wear party hats with their initials on them when you go out to celebrate!
