We are swooning over this party that was styled by one of our readers, Michelle.

Michelle’s family rolled up their sleeves and got their craft on. A giant gold monogram was created out of a leftover plasma television cardboard box, yard sale…

Talk about having your cake and eating it too! How fantastic are these cakes? Aracely from Minted and Vintage sent us this shoot that she styled to showcase her dessert stand rental business. Her inspiration came from the vintage pink chiffon and lace window valance that she found in a thrift store. This table shows perfectly how to mix and match colors and styles.

Sweet Baby Shower Guest Dessert Feature
How sweet is this baby shower submission that we received from Suzanna at Mon Tresor? We have featured Suzanna a few times and love the way she incorporates pattern into her tables. It is almost Spring time in Australia, so Suzanna felt it was the perfect time to show off a soft pastel color palette.

Sip & See Guest Dessert Feature
We love the southern tradition of a Sip ‘N See. For anyone who has never heard of it, you can equate it to a baby shower but it is given after… the baby is born. Sarah Crawford from Lil’ Hoot Parties created this Sip ‘N See party for her niece June, who was born in July (and celebrated in August.) After two nephews, June was “A Welcome Change” and everyone was excited to meet her

Since the colors commonly found in shabby chic displays are muted, we think they work wonderfully for spring and Easter occasions. First up is Heather of Heather Equitz Designs.
