What I’m Finding Beautiful This Morning…

By: Amy Atlas, in Amy's Latest
Good Morning all. As we wrap up the year, we’re leaving you with something that I’m finding beautiful this morning. It’s not gorgeous confections on the many dessert tables we post, but rather a video that I saw on Upworthy this morning.

Amanda of Red Wagon Events created this modern party for her soccer-loving son Lucca’s 6th birthday. Amanda used the hexagon shape on soccer balls to inspire the design of the party.

We have another pretty holiday party on the blog today. This one is from Francisca of Cupcake in Portugal. She baked and styled everything for this bird themed Christmas party – wow! Francisca styled the party for a family holiday soiree in her home. We love how Francisca incorporated meaningful family items into the party, like the shutter from her grandparent’s country house and the handmade crochet linen from her great grandmother’s trousseau. Sweet treats…
