Day to Night Centerpieces

Use dark colored vases at a night reception to make the flowers, willows, or even crystals pop against the lighting. It will also make the vase look like a part of the table. This will also save on river rocks, colored stones/water, fish, sunken flowers, floating candles, etc.. So you can focus on the arrangement. Use lights on the arrangement can use battery operated lights (which you can find HERE!) to sink into the flowers to make it shine or battery operated twinkle lights (which you can get HERE!) that you can place the battery pack in the vase to hide it. Here is a good vase for that (can get from the shops site);




On a day wedding or if your not keen on flowers or giant arrangements take that idea the other way. Find an ornate vase and use it as the focal point of the table. Use subtle tea lights to project its light onto the vase if at night, during the day it will speak for itself. Use sublet colors such as green, brown, yellow, white, pink, or peach in the form of flowers, feathers, or willows to flow from the top of the vase. Carnations, Daisy's, roses, and hydrangea are some great flowers to use with it. Some good vases for that are (can be found at the shops site);

Design Tip #1 & 2

Do you have a wall that sticks out from the rest of the room? Try wallpapering that part and paint the rest of the wall a color from the wallpaper. Take a piece down to Home Depot so they can match it perfectly. It will turn that annoying part of the room that doesn't fit into a wonderful piece of dimensional art work.

Old wall scones can be ugly and boring. Even if you rent a place this is a wonderful fix to your problem. If there are shades of the light remove them. Shape a piece of Plexiglas the way you want, wrap a piece of wallpaper, canvas print, or scrapbook paper around the glass and mount it over the outside of the light to the wall behind the old sconce. Make sure the top and sides are not enclosed, and to not use anything flammable or that will produce too much heat.

Now you have a new scone!

End the Summer With a Bang!

Now that the summer is quickly coming to an end its time to plan that huge end of the summer blow out for all your friends and family. If your anything like I am you don't want your parties to go unnoticed and want everyone excited about what you will be planning for years to come. Here are some tips and designs...

Last Beach Party of the season: Bonfire with clambake and smores.

Dance Party: Pick a single type of music and add in a costume party of that genre, such as swing.
Unlike your summer parties this is the end of summer party so move your color motifs from bright peach, Yellows, and lime green to richer colors such as lite pumpkin, golds, and lite moss green (As shown below) Not quite autumn yet.


Traditionally when you buy a picnic table cloth its red and white checkered. They come in so many different colors and themes that there is no need to try and fit that into your theme. Oriental Trading has a huge selection of colors and themes.
Keep lighting low with different types of lanterns and hurricane lamps, even chimineas give off beautiful light and can double as a fire pit for smore or roasting hot dogs.

(you can get these on the stores site at sund-morning.com)

If your backyard is grass or even cement, try adding a section with some sand nothing says summer like sand between your toes.

If you have a group that you hang with on a normal bases, divide your backyard or your party space inside into different fun time during your summer together. Ex; vacation, amusement parks, travel experiences, and add one section for just the current party. It will bring a wonderful close to an awesome summer by reminiscing and have a few laughs.

Welcome!

Hey everyone! Welcome to our blog. This whole set up for the store is a long time coming and finally we can sit down and share all the ideas we get with you guys. If you don't know who we are, we are a mother-daughter team running a great online gift and decor store called Sunday Morning. Soon we will also have our own hand made creations up on Etsy and Zazzle.
This blog is going to be about affordable home and party/wedding decor that we find. Once a week we will be taking very ornate expensive rooms and showing how to do it yourself without the cost, also show you where you can get everything. We absolutely hate when we read articles and they never tell you where you can get the things they use, so we promise to never do that to you. There will also be some things thrown in every day about party style for birthdays, vow renewals, weddings, anniversary's, etc..
If you have any suggestions for us we are happy to hear them.
