Fabulous Indepence Friday

Happy Independence day everyone! I just feel like red, white, and blue decorations lend themselves to this month and what better to celebrate than our independence. So in honor of this weekend, here are some fabulous finds I found that you can incorporate into your celebrations. Happy 4th of July!

To make this adorable and unique floral centerpiece just use a foam floral ball and poke carnations in to cover the entire surface except the bottom, then fill a dish with water and set your ball of flowers inside. They should last up to a week like this.What a cute idea for a summer picnic! To get this look you simply need paper flag fans and then place them on the top of the place settings. What an easy and inexpensive way to decorate. Plus, if you or your guests get to hot, you all have your own personal fan.If you don't have an actual striped tablecloth then you can always find some fun striped fabric and drape it over a white tablecloth. I also thought it was really fun the direction that they laid the fabric, just added something different from what you would normally see.

Fabulous Find Friday...Party Edition

Well everybody, today is my birthday! So for this weeks edition of Fabulous Finds I decided to focus on a piece of decorating that sometimes doesn't get thought of. Party decorations! We all know that the right decorations can make or break a party, so I found some way fun stuff that would look good at any party! My tips for birthday party decorations are to:
1. Make it fun
2. Don't go overboard. A lot of times the simpler something is the better because then you won't be so worried about everything
3.Listen to what the birthday person wants. Even if you don't think it matches if it's what they want they will absolutely love it.
Don't forget to make your party exactly how you want it, that way you'll be sure to enjoy it! 1.2.3.
