Up Up and Away Guest Dessert Feature

This pretty hot air balloon party from Mariana of Peace of Cake in Portugal is darling. We love how simple and sweet the design is. Pops of coral and yellow really made the table stand out against a baby blue backdrop. Sweet treats on the dessert table included that fabulous cake, cupcakes, cake pops, cloud marshmallows and cookie pops. Great job!

Jennifer from May Details… created this stunning dessert table for her own baby shower. With the help of her husband and sister, she created a beautiful table. She and her husband had already decided on the name Benjamin for their bundle of joy so Jennifer incorporated the letter “B” into the design. She also loves hot air balloons and knew that she wanted to have them featured on the table.

We also love the wooden slabs that Karen used for the placemats, as well as the hot air balloons and party hats. Both adults and kids had fun with the “If I…

There were three tables, two for desserts…

Hot Air Balloon Guest Dessert Feature

Remember that vintage milk & cookies table… we went nuts over?  Kate and Yolanda, the ladies from Kiss Me Kate, went above and beyond with a third party:  a vintage hot air balloon party. This theme is perfect for a girl or boys party.  Once again, we are wowed by their attention to detail. The sky blue panel painted with wispy white clouds is a beautiful backdrop for this table. Balloons wrapped in netting and
