A Beautiful Twist on Paper Lanterns

So, I came across a new vendor today who had the most beautiful twist on paper lanterns, and you know I had to share! They are so colorful and unique I think they will make any event come to life. I am already envisioning ways to incorporate them in a themed event I am planning. The good news is that not only do they come in a variety of colours but they are also soooo reasonably priced! .....check out them out!








Super Chic

I love browsing inspiration boards. Its my nightly treat (or obsession, depends on who you ask!) So imagine my excitement when I came across this gorgeous design created by the uber talented Mrs Kim of The Event Essentials. A chic design that can be used for a reception, a soiree, a bridal luncheon or even a teen's birthday party...either way, its sure to let your guests know that they are in for a fabulous time!
