Yee Haw!

On Saturday 5/14 it was my daughters 2nd birthday party. I did a Jessie/Western theme. Everything was handmade(excluding the cake), including all the stick ponies! Out of all the parties I have done, this one is my favorite to date. Check it out!






Saw this menu idea on Karas Party Ideas and created my own version.









 The most amazing cake made by: Hippie Chick!






 What do you think?! For help planning this or for other party ideas, email me danielle@lilybelleevents.com. Have a wonderful day!

Inspiration: Summer!

 Yellow shoes for the bride and yellow socks for the groom add color and personality! Love it!
 You could line your aisle with flower arrangements like these. Or for something more simple but still as wonderful, vases filled with whole lemons.
 How cute is this cake? I'd go for lemon curd filling to make this cake taste as great as it looks.
 These centerpieces are gorgeous! Also check with your rental company for yellow salad plates!
 Add a pop of color to your hair with a custom headpiece. This one is from Etsy.com
Your girls will love these wear again dresses from Nordstrom.

I looked outside today and it's very gloomy. I decided to look up pictures for the brightest, happiest, sunshinest(word? :) wedding ideas I could find. This makes me feel like summer is right around the corner! Enjoy your day.
