I was mentioned!! Amy at Stem Parties gave me such an honor

If you've been around Stem very long you know how I feel about using Chinese lanterns for party decor. If you are new here, then this is all you need to know - I.Love.Them. Love.

Stem reader, Jessica, was inspired to use lanterns for a cute Ladybug theme 1st birthday party for her daughter, Sienna. Isn't the birthday sign she made cute?



You may be asking yourself what the limes and sunflowers have to do with ladybugs. The answer is nothing. Nada. Zip. Jessica just so happened to throw this very summery and fresh looking party as well so I thought I'd let you peek at that one, too. I love using fruit for decor It's easy and eco-friendly!

Thanks again for sharing, Jess!

A Summer Birthday Nothing Sour About This

This outdoor event was a 60th birthday party . We went with simple designs using lime green and yellow sunflowers. Since it was outside I went with lots of citranella candles and got lucky because there yellow. Then I used mini limes and so easy because you buy them in a bag. With 2 bags I filled up most of the vases. Most of the vases were purchased in IKEA.
