Let’s Fly Guest Dessert Feature
This simple yet stylish dessert table was styled by Jayme from Jayme Marie Designs for her son’s vintage airplane birthday party. We love the chic black table against the red and aqua palette. Notice how the white on the vertical runner, cake, wall and beverages give the design a crisp look. It’s a major player in the design. We love the use of stripes as well. Sweet treats on the dessert table included chocolate and…

She incorporated the blue and white color scheme and line drawing to the cake elements. How fun are those sugar “oyster” cookies? Other sweet treats on the dessert table included vanilla cotton candy, cupcakes with line drawing fondant toppers, meringue, gingerbread dipped pearl…

We love this nautical party and dessert table that Rachel of Sol and Rachel created for her son. Rachel created a menu that consisted of sailboat shaped sandwiches, blue jello cups with apple slice sailboats {we love!}, chocolate dipped pretzel oars, goldfish crackers, and little plastic boats filled with fruit. Guests spent time playing in the SS Finley, which Rachel’s husband crafted from a huge cardboad box. The printables by RV Parties tied the whole…

The Love Boat Guest Dessert Feature
Our last Valentine’s Day post of the day is from Ebony at Sparkling Events & Designs. She sent us her version of “The Love Boat”. I don’t know about you, but I loved watching The Love Boat as a kid.

We received this nautical themed submission from Louisa and Melissa at The Little Big Company in Australia. She created this party for a client whose husband was turning 60. The party was a surprise and they only had one week to put it together. They wanted the table to have a very masculine feel so they went with blue, black and yellow as the color palette. Their client had mentioned that her husband wanted to…

Come Sail Away Guest Dessert Feature
When Lisa saw this submission, she immediately started singing “Come Sail Away” by Styx! It seemed like the perfect name for this submission. Sent in by Renee from The Inspired Occasion, this party was created for Renee’s partner Alex’s son’s birthday (his 4th) and Renee’s sister’s birthday (her 24th). They wanted a color palette and theme that would work for both adult and children shipmates. The nautical theme with its red white & blue color…
