"Oh, The Places You'll Go" Baptism

Dr. Seuss' "Oh, the Places You'll Go" provides such a colorful and relevant theme for a graduation, birthday–and even baptism.  I love how event planner, Events by Design, Inc., played on the theme with international books and foods–keeping the decor sophisticated for a baptism celebration.  The book itself made the perfect guest book and keepsake from the blessed day.  Enjoy the photos, captured by LunahZon Photography.

Vintage Bridal Shower

Happy Friday friends! I am so happy to end this week with this very charming and thoughtful vintage-inspired bridal shower.

Since the upcoming May wedding is going to be very vintage-inspired, the bridesmaids wanted to throw the bride a shower that would complement the big day and fit her style.  With vintage pieces found at occasional shops in the area, along with borrowed items, the bridesmaids were able to pull off a lovely vintage tea.  (I swear I've seen some of these pieces in my mom's china cabinet!) Additionally, the color scheme, lace and doily touches all help to enhance the theme.  What a lucky bride!

The shower was captured by Karen Feder Photography, for the bride-to-be, Lindsay Davis.  Enjoy all the many quaint details.

Jello Aquariums

I gasped at this mini jello aquarium from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen!  What a great summer party favor.  I can see kids eating their way through the jell-o to get to the fish and candy rocks.  And it's definitely got a bit of wow factor.  You can use this for any Under the Sea/Mermaid/Nautical-themed party.  Get the full directions here.

Cinco de Mayo DIYs

Cinco de Mayo is just over a week away–and how great that it lands on a Saturday this year?!  Invite some friends over for a few Coronas and margs, and use these very simple ideas to turn your gathering into a fun fiesta.

Coffee Filter Flower Cup

These pretty flower cups made their appearance on Urban Comfort for Easter, but they are so perfect for any spring, summer occasion. They remind me of the coffee filter cups I made for my girls' Alice Tea Party last year, that you can see here.

These cups would make lovely favors for Mother's Day. Or use orange, red and blue colors, fill them with nuts or chips and use them for Cinco de Mayo!
