Since beginning my blog and studying endless pictures of parties, I have noticed the importance of in party styling.  I don’t know when party backdrops became a ‘thing’, but they obviously have become an important part of a well-designed party.  This is one of my favorite backdrops I have seen, and I plan to use this idea sometime myself.  This was designed by Katie and Alice of Kalice Events.  They used over 50 handmade paper rosettes in designing this backdrop.  This makes an incredible impression as guests enter the party.

    1. Heather, Thanks for the link! That is a beautiful backdrop, and certainly those ruffled ribbons could be stored and used over and over again, unlike a lot of paper backdrops! I loved the whole post, of course, one of the twins has such a great name! (teehee) Thanks for checking in! Stay tuned for the pictures of the “clock” themed party I threw last night!

  1. Chloe, I love the backdrops and party ideas! I do wish I had known a lot of these things when my kids were little. All we did was a tablecloth and a cake…LOL Love and hugs!
