I love pretty party decor and packaging. Actually, love might be an understatement. It’s the little extra details and that pop of color that make a celebration really shine for me. Today I’m so excited to introduce our beloved sponsor, Shop Sweet Lulu! I’ve been a huge fan of Shop Sweet Lulu for a long time and I personally shop there regularly for my favorite party accessory – striped straws! But the goodies don’t stop there. From bright and happy …

There’s nothing I love more than small at-home gatherings with the best of friends, laughter and good times. So while winter makes it’s final push, I’m feeling like a board game night with my best people. My idea for the perfect way to do a board game night? Keep it cozy with floor cushions, fluffy throws, a punch bowl or pitcher boasting a tasty signature cocktail and a fix-your-own homemade pizza station. Oh and my favorite game of the moment, …

This afternoon I’m taking a couple of my favorite kiddos out for a little bowling date while they’re on school break, so I basically have good old fashioned bowling fun on the brain. Don’t you remember how awesome bowling parties were as a kid? I won’t lie to you – I love rockin’ out in those Velcro-tabbed rental shoes with the classic red and blue stripes that bowling alleys are famed for loving. What’s not to love, right? Of course, …

There’s something so simply and delightfully happy about confetti, don’t you think? I love these pretty confetti garlands from tokketok so much it kind of makes me want to string my own garland for around the house this holiday season. Do we think this is actually going to happen? Probably not so much, but in my dreamworld I like to pretend I have time to make long strands of pretty confetti to swag all over.

Good morning, friends! I hope everyone had a fun Halloweekend and is looking forward to trick or treating this evening. This morning I’m loving this beautiful Halloween tablescape designed by Alli of Hooray last year. If you’re looking for last minute Halloween inspiration, this is perfect! Super simple with a color palette of all neutrals, a touch of sparkle and a few choice seasonal elements like mini pie pumpkins and gourds and you can easily transform your tablescape into an …

Hey there lovelies! It’s Chelsea from Lovely Indeed, here with a DIY project to snazz up your next shindig. I was so inspired by the color palette that our dear Jenny used on her last DIY project, that I decided to continue the trend. We’re using blacks, whites, and some pops of color and metallics to make ourselves a fancy little tassel garland!

These little garlands are all the rage right now, thanks to Confetti System and their inspired designs – …

Continuing my little girl love affair with all things pink and purple, I’m coocoo for Cocoa Puffs over the pretty details of this wedding. With loads of pink carnations (which can be so super chic in addition to being incredibly budget-friendly) and festive decor boasting a bit of shimmer and shine from Confetti System, this wedding has fun written all over it. Catch all the pretty at Style Me Pretty.

As much as I love summer and frolicking around barefoot in sundresses, there’s something so invigorating about fall. Now that fall is officially here, I’m so excited for all of the requisite seasonal festivities! My idea for the perfect way to celebrate? Go for a drive and spend an afternoon soaking up the sights of the foliage and collecting leaves, stopping along the way for a bushel of perfectly ripe apples and a big ol’ jug of apple cider. Cozy …

Now that football season is in full swing, I know many of us will be planning and attending tailgate parties over the next few months. In my neck of the woods in my hometown, we’re pretty fond of a little thing we like to call the garage party. It’s the kind of completely impromptu, unfussy and totally fun partying that I can’t get enough of to be honest. Think cold beer, a few snacks, something cooking away on the grill, …

Hello hello and good morning, friends! I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Mine was spent celebrating the wedding of my one of my bestest friends and doing a whole lot of what I love to do best – lounging, watching movies, cooking and spending time with my favorite people on earth. Today my head is filled with late summer daydreaming and I just love the idea of a backyard movie night with popcorn, cozy quilts and good company.
