An Italian Red & White Holiday Dinner Party
There's nothing better than celebrating the Holiday Season with an elegant dinner party for friends and family. And this stunning dinner party styled by the fabulously talented Mariah from Giggles Galore, appeals to me on so many levels. Least of all because of my Italian roots and love of all things pasta! :) Mariah styled this dinner party for Bird's Party Magazine last year , and she used our Winter Wonderland Printables for the tablescape, the pasta buffet and the desserts tables. I just LOVE how she customized the designs with ribbon and glitter sparkle!! ♥
DIY Fondant Buttons for Cupcake Toppers
Hey guys!! So glad to be back! It was a roller-coaster week full of fun and a super crazy work schedule, and despite my utter love for Paris (see on Instagram here) ; I could not wait to get back to my "normal" routine. Plus, I missed my babies too much!!! :) So while I wait to catch up with my humongous inbox, and edit some of the gazillion salon photos to show you, just wanted to share a quick tutorial I made for the cupcakes on display at our stand. These Cute as a Button Cupcakes would be perfect for so many party themes...think baby showers, tea party, sewing or craft party or even Lalaloopsy!
