We absolutely fell in love with our “Garden Party” themed spring shoot. This theme is perfect for a spring or summer trunk show. Picture Elderflower Lemonade with Wildflower Ice Cubes, French Macarons, Flower Cupcakes … what else could you possible need? Some decorations, of course! Here are some ideas we used at the photo shoot that are super-simple but make a gorg impact.

Paper Flowers

The perfect bouquet that never goes away! *Note: these are for life-size flowers. Giant flowers would require a bigger square of paper*

What you’ll need:

Construction paper — any colors you like

Pen/Pencil

Scissors

Tape

How to:

1. Draw a spiral on a 4×4″ square sheet of paper

2. Cut out spiral along the lines you have drawn

3. Begin rolling up the spiral from the outside

4. Keep on rolling until there is no more left to roll!

Flower Wall

Add color to any room with this great conversation starter!

What you’ll need:

Silk flowers

Tape — fun colors or clear

Blank wall

How to:

1. Find your blank ‘canvas’ of a wall that will provide a great backdrop — maybe behind the food buffet table, or in front of where everyone will take pictures.

2. Tape fake silk flowers in lines up the wall, with each flower “stripe” equal distance from the next. You can use clear tape, but we used bright yellow!

3. Mix it up and do whatever you think looks best: all flowers up with stems below, flowers facing down toward ground and stems up, or alternating directions.

4. That’s really all there is to it! Have fun with your color scheme and don’t worry too much about it looking perfect.

Stumped on how to bring some more creativity into your ordinary egg-dying this Easter? We found these unique ideas that we are dying to try. Some are crafty, others colorful, and some eggs-tra embellished — all the better for you to pick which best suits your artistic style. After all, our motto is be creative, be confident, be you! Happy Easter!

Colorful

(Left) Pretty no-paint polka dot glitter eggs are made with a hole puncher, adhesive stickers, and of course, glitter! (Right) Leaf-print eggs are a little advanced, but make a big impact just by using small flat leaves, nylon stockings, and food coloring.

Embellished

(Left) This Japanese technique, using Origami paper and Mod Podge, is for those expert crafters looking for a challenge this weekend. (Right) Gold-dipped painted eggs for lovers of all things luxe. Love the pink and metallic combo!

Crafty

(Left) Cut out pretty flower-print fabric and Mod Podge it on eggshells for a DIY decoupage. (Right) Love to knit or crochet? Here’s a whole new way to display your designs — or, just use store-bought lace and paste it right on!

They’re all so pretty — pretty crafty, that is! Be prepared for lots of oohs and aahs when your fam spots these on the Easter dinner centerpiece. XO
