I love throwin' Posh Tea parties, but you know what I love even more than throwin' a Posh Tea Party is a Posh Tea Party with a theme. I have decided this year for Memorial Day I am going to throw a memorial day tea party. A simple way to dress up an old vintage table cloth is by grabbin' one of those cheap plastic table clothes and putting it underneath. You can change up the colors dependin' on your palate. I also carried out my niece's teepee from the playroom and threw some pillows inside to make sure there was place for out of the sun.
My favorite way to bring design out doors though is with my place settings that I pair with each event theme. I would not dare bring my grandmotha's china outside, so I go to my second favorite choice my Kate Aspen special occasion disposable paper good products. Not only are they strong and durable, but the beautiful patterns and different sizes make it easy to add color and dimension to your table. Each piece of the collections are designed to enhance each other and make for a fun experience. The best part is that they can be cleared so quickly, so I get to be part of the party the whole time.
How do you tea party?

These sweet plates did so much more than hold Mama's favorite croissants filled with chicken salad, or fruit salad loaded with whip cream made by the kids. The pattern elevated the aesthetics of the table and the room. The scalloped edges lined in gold lets you know this is no ordinary paper plate.
2. Pink Woodland 7 in Dessert Plates:
Oh these bunnies! I love stacking plates while entertaining to bring height to the table setting and these sweet little bunnies not only did the job, they got all the awes I was looking for. Everyone loved eating their sweet petit-fors and macrons while looking at those twinkling little cheeks.
Napkins are such an important necessity when entertaining guest. Of course you need a cute pattern or color that accents your design, but you also need a napkin to do what it was designed to do, be absorbent and strong. This napkins take the cake, they are soft and absorbent, they are strong enough to wipe up all those creamy sauces and sticky hands.
I am a proper southern lady, so there will always be a take-away from my parties, even the small ones. I was able to stuff these sweet babies full of Jordan almonds for everyone to nibble on while drivin home.
5. Pink Woodland Guest Book Alternative:
This is the piece de resistance, the coolest guest book I have ever seen. It came with cute little wooden bears to sign your name on. Our guest had some beautiful ideas of things to write on these little bears. Some wrote their names, some wrote words of love and encouragement, some wrote their favorite bible versus. I even was able to send some to guest that were not able to be there, so they could add their own little note. This was by far my nieces favorite part. To be honest it was my favorite too. I may have shed a few tears in those sweet and strong napkins.

While cornucopias, paper turkeys, and an abundance of pumpkins are all classic Thanksgiving decorations, they often lean more toward kitsch than chic décor. If you're more keen on magazine-worthy decorations, check out this chic Thanksgiving inspo. Decorated with touches of orange and blue amid a white backdrop, the minimalism of the color palette goes a long way toward making this dining room look classy. Touches of color in seasonally appropriate floral arrangements turn centerpieces into something special. Even the kids' table gets an upgrade with smaller versions of the adults' table decorations. Time to turn this family holiday fancy!

]]>Although they may not be as popular as a summertime wedding, winter weddings win for their sparkling snowy backdrops and humidity-free hairstyles. But you might be stumped about how to deck out your winter wedding. These essentials will help you when it comes to décor, party favors, and more.
Looking for a quick wedding favors that guests will actually use? Hand out these personalized match boxes. Choose from a variety of wintry designs and personalize them with the details of your special day.
For the table centerpieces, you can do a lot with these vintage distressed lanterns. Add a tealight for romantic light at every table. You could even fill them with winter flowers instead.

There's no reason why you can't have fun and play it safe at the same time. Hand out these personalized bottles of hand sanitizer to every guest. You could even keep them in bowls at the dessert or gift tables just in case anyone has lost theirs.
Skip the boring guestbook and go for a wish jar instead. Set up a table with these blank white hearts, a few pens, and a glass jar. Guests will fill the hearts with their best wishes for the couple to read for years to come.

Have your own party favors in mind? Though you have a great DIY wedding favor idea, you might not know what to put them in. Try these white and gold favor boxes.

Soft and romantic weddings pair pastel colors and minimalistic décor. Take Alexa and David's gorgeous wedding as your inspo, for example. Delicate touches of periwinkle, peach, and lavender not only dotted every table, but even found their way into the couple's accessories and the minty blue color of the four-tier wedding cake. The Skyroom at Red Wing Golf Course provided natural wood accents and a lush green view of the surrounding hillside. To make the wedding especially soft and romantic, the couple skipped bright and gaudy colors for something more understated. In the end, they were able to celebrate their nuptials with a gorgeous yet subdued aesthetic that left everyone speechless.

]]>As summer winds down and sweater weather begins, the sunshine and heat of a summer wedding gives way to crisp autumn air. Just because you're having a rustic fall wedding doesn't mean you can't have a gorgeous, magazine-worthy event like this one. The new Mr. and Mrs. Swain said their vows under a rustic wood arch adorned by fragrant flowers and leaves. The bride and groom chose terra cotta as their signature wedding color. With bridesmaid dresses, wedding shoes, floral arrangements, and table decorations in this warm and dusty shade of orange, the terra cotta theme brought the whole wedding together.

]]>The dusty, rusty shade of terracotta gives a feeling of summer sunshine and desert soirees. Use the shade as your main wedding hue with accents of rich gold or subdued beige. If you're stuck for ideas, try this rustic terracotta wedding arch.
For a spring wedding, bring the colors of natural seasonal flowers into your event. Lilac is a soft lavender shade that works for both bridesmaid dresses and reception table centerpieces. If you get the timing just right, you can even incorporate the actual flowers that this color is named after.
If you prefer cooler tones for your colors, dusty blue is the perfect shade for 2021. The subdued color provides a chic alternative to old-fashioned navy or sky blue. Although blues are typically only in summer or winter weddings, this muted blue would look good all year 'round.
The authority on all things color, Pantone, named Ultimate Gray as one of their colors of the year for 2021. Ultimate Gray is the most classic neutral shade of gray--and it's anything but boring. Mix in splashes of creamy white with loads of natural greenery to make Ultimate Gray the real powerhouse.
Pantone's other color of 2021 is a sunny yellow shade called Illuminating. Though yellow can be an intimidating color to work with, picking just a few key pieces can go that extra mile. A rich yellow table linen and touches of sunny yellow flowers may be all that you need to rock this trendy wedding color scheme.
]]>While guests may be stepping out of their modern sedans, they're going to feel immediately transported when they arrive at this Garden of Eden bridal shower. Located in a clearing surrounded by lush trees, every surface is covered in gorgeous sprays of jewel-toned flowers and fragrant buds. The couch and tables evoked a vintage, elegant charm. As guests snacked on slices of pale pink cake, the pink depression glass and gold flatware completed the feeling of a lush and slightly forbidden garden party. It was a bridal shower no one would ever forget.

]]>Skip large, elaborate centerpieces this holiday season. If you're having a few guests, you'll want to see them, right? Pick plants and flowers that sit just a few inches above the table so you have a perfect view.
Bring the outside in with seasonal greenery. Small branches of local pine trees will do the trick. Drape them across the center of the table and even hang them off the side.
Going DIY for the holidays isn't just a great idea for your gifts. Make handmade place setting decor to make the celebration extra special and personalized. These cute trees are quick if you have some wine corks on hand.
Make the napkins extra fancy with this simple trick. Rather than simple napkin rings, try these silver snowflakes. They add a bit of sparkle to your holiday table settings.
Wood accents are the way to go if you want to keep the holiday vibes rustic. Not only do these wood coasters accent the nature outside your door, but they can also be personalized to highlight your holiday event. Choose design, color, and text.
]]>The colder months are all about feeling warm and cozy as the air gets blistery outside your windows. Provide some warm lighting with mini lanterns. These black scalloped lanterns come in packs of six so you can pepper them throughout your living room.
While our wood place card holders are made for assigned seating at events, they are beautifully multi-purpose. Prop your favorite pictures in these wood holders and place them on your mantel or sideboard. They're made of real wood and mimic the rustic nature just outside your door.
Any home bar or drink setup could use an aesthetically pleasing bottle opener. Put this rustic white antler bottle opener with your barware. The sleek white keeps this tool looking chic.
Once snow starts to float down from the sky and stick to the ground below, start decorating with white to match the bright whiteness of your surroundings. These antique white lanterns have a distinct winter feel. They even look great with holiday-themed decorations.
]]>Imagine walking down the aisle in a tropical mango grove to the sounds of a live string duo. That's the magical ceremony that the gorgeous couple Sara and Geoff experienced at Flora's Farm in Cabo San Lucas. The couple chose wedding colors in shades of white, soft pastels, and small bursts of coral to accent the surrounding greenery. For refreshments, waitstaff brought small bites and delicious cocktails, including the resort's "Farmarita." Guests sat at quaint reception tables near the venue's rustic barn. As the night went on, friends and family grabbed complementary blankets to stay warm under a canopy of romantic twinkle lights. With the intimate setting and small group of important guests, this was a wedding Sara and Geoff would never forget.

]]>When it comes to color trends of the moment, mauve is a must-have. This gorgeous couple added the dusty rose shades of mauve to their lush backyard anniversary party. Each place setting along the rustic wooden table featured swaths of velvety mauve fabric. The couple infused the scene with complementary shades of blush and deep greens. For a bit of sparkle, twinkle lights hung down over the table, creating romantic and magical lighting as guests toasted to the couple. With the decor, delicious food and wonderful company, this was an anniversary party they'd never forget.

The woodland baby shower theme is a classic and for good reason! A nursery full of stuffed foxes and forested wallpaper creates a comfortable environment for any little one. So when the new parents wanted to celebrate their little deer's arrival, they used this woodland theme to create a gorgeous aesthetic. They found creative ways to incorporate woodland creatures, like animals hanging from a banner for the photo booth's background and raccoons and foxes finding homes on signs and posters. The baby shower cake featured two tiers that looked like slices of real birch trees. For baby shower snacks, they offered guests a waffle bar, fruit and yogurt parfaits, a heap of bacon, and sugar cookies shaped like woodland animals. At the end of the shower, each guest took home birdseed party favors.

Blankets were set out for guests to grab if they felt chilly — a thoughtful gesture for a gorgeous outdoor wedding. Gold elements, geometric designs, and touches of travel-themed accessories found a lovely home at the wedding reception. The bride opted for white roses to complement her bouquet, her bridesmaids' bouquets, and even the centerpieces at each reception table. Haley and Gus's special day was beautifully captured at The Springs in Texas.
