Let's start with the tablescape....
I used a shower curtain as a tablecloth, great for parties since it repels water and stains. A feather boa tops the chandelier.
The centerpiece was inspired by Celebrations at Home. An apothecary jar with the lid removed serves as the vessel. Insert a strip of scrapbook paper around the bottom, suspend a string of black beads ( I used packing tape-my new best friend!) Pink silk roses with the stems removed complete this elegant look.
Inspired by Hobby Lobby, I wrapped a couple of candles in scrapbook paper, punched holes and laced them up for a sexy look. Just be careful not to catch this hot look on fire!
On our sidebar, I used a tiered stand for serving snacks and a fun shoe pic. Votive candle holders get dressed up with ribbon and a Welcome sign greeted guests.
My obsession with feathers continues, here with pink and black. Tissue paper stuffed into the vase hides the stems. I picked up these small milk jug shaped vases from Target's $1 spot around Valentine's day and they conveniently fit my theme here. I LOVE the piece of scrapbook paper this arrangement is sitting on. I wish it came in wallpaper form!
Last but not least, a favor bag sent my guests home with a special treat and a sweet note. For the recipe for this delicious bar, check out Pillsbury http://www.pillsbury.com/Recipes/ShowRecipe.aspx?rid=44945
