Pretty Perfect-

A few images really caught my eye last week around the party web.

Stop, Drop, and Roll

I love the fresh take on the fireman theme in this party which used the black polka dots from the dalmatian for the party inspiration.  I also was drawn to the red, black and white color scheme (which happens to be the color scheme of a party I am currently styling).  Cute ideas for your little guys.

Next,

I am in LOVE with this cake. It was shared on Lil Luna and I Heart Naptime in a recap of their Glitter Academy at which Kim from TomKat Studio styled the dessert table and spoke. It's so smart to have the sprinkles spilling onto the cake platter.   I even bought those sprinkles a while back because I LOVED their color and larger size.  This cake is very "do"able using fondant techniques that I shared in a Make It Monday a while back.  Pretty pretty!

This week, I am also very happy to share a great dessert table styled by Hannah Krivis of Inspired Living Interiors & Desserts.  Hannah contacted me about making the labels for this event and I was so impressed with her work that I have to share it with you. Aren't the Bride and Groom Cake Pops amazing? Again, love the color scheme.

Here's another party Hannah did using pink and turquoise

Great inspiration. Send me yours!
See ya tomorrow-

Parties in Bloom: Holiday Party

I thought I'd use my last post of the year to share another party from my friend, Lauren, who has really been a huge support and source of encouragement this year.  Lauren used many of the same elements in this party that she did in her red and green holiday party shown here but in a more formal, sophisticated color scheme of black and silver.  I love how she used martini glasses for candy containers and the candy apples add just the perfect amount of color to the table.  Take away the snowflakes and tree and this would also be great for a New Years party. 

So, goodbye 2011.  I'll miss you.  What started off as a difficult year turned incredible.  It really surpassed anything I could have hoped for or dared to imagine.  25 followers, 3,100 page views, post around the web..... I am so excited for the possibilities in 2012 and can't wait to see what blooms!

Have a safe and happy New Year!
