What’s black & white and fuchsia and teal all over? This table that was sent to us by Lillian from Lily Chic Events. With the help of Leoni from Just Call Me Martha, they created this table that was inspired by the summer wedding season in Australia. The black and white makes the event formal, but the pops of color give it a youthful vibe. That spectacular two tiered cake was definitely the star…

I’m back with Part II of the guest dessert feature from Jeanna Hayes and Suzanne of SHE PAPERIE + Design Boutique. If you missed Part I, you should definitely stop by here {it will be worth the click!} Above is the Sugar And Spice Sweets Station they created for the shoot and it is nothing short of spectacular. These pictures just make me happy. The dessert bar was set against a backdrop of vintage-like fabrics that had been…

Finally, the fifth and last guest feature of the day…Melissa and Kellie of Icing Designs sent over this fanciful dessert bar that they created for a Stella and Dot jewelry party. I’m a girly-girl gal who loves both jewelry and desserts so this jewelry dessert combo is pure bliss for me. This reminds me a little bit of the jewelry dessert feature I worked on for Town and Country Magazine. I’m smitten with how…

Wow, there have been some great features up today, right? This kid-friendly dessert feature from Jordan of Polka Dot Prints in Australia is another adorable take on a fly away party. Jordan said she was inspired by my own son’s birthday party here. I adore the white chocolate cloud “fly” lollipop sticks, the airplane cake {notice – simple waffle cones and m & m’s are used to decorate the cake}, the milk cartons, and the…

This elegant guest feature is from Sandra of Sandra Downie Events. Sandra emailed me to tell me that she was inspired by our work when she created this beautiful black, white and green damask dessert bar for a recent wedding. What I really love about this table is the bold color palette. The lime and chartreuse against the black and white damask makes a big statement. I also love the damask curtains, which anchor…

I’m up to the second guest feature of the day. This drop dead gorgeous display is from Allyson and Sarah of Bobbette and Belle from Canada. Bobbette and Belle first came on my radar last year when the owners Allyson and Sarah sent me pictures of their gorgeous macaron towers. This display was created for a fundraiser for the NICU and the Avery Goldman Fund at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. This stunning home provided a…

Naomi from Hello Naomi in Australia sent over exclusive pictures of her most recent work. If you missed it a few weeks ago, I featured Naomi’s gorgeous cakes and cookies a few weeks ago here. This time, Naomi created a chic super hero party for a little boy. Yes, that is an oxymoron but if there ever were a chic superhero party, this is it! Executing a superhero party without it looking too commercial…

It is rainy in NYC today so I thought I’d share a colorful party that will lift up anyone’s gloomy mood. Kelly of the The Well Heeled Hostess recently sent over pictures of this adorable kids elephant circus party that she created for a set of 4 year old twins. The twins love the circus so Kelly created a colorful elephant parade candy table. I think any kid would have wanted a ticket to…

Besides Elizabeth’s incredible photography and gorgeous styling, those desserts look just incredibly, well…sweet. Sifting through all of…
