Our friends from The Styled Society helped us to design a beautiful Palm Springs Desert party. The decorations, desserts, and assembly of the party is perfectly doable with a little help from friends. So while the heat is still strong (yes, we're talking to you Los Angeles!), throw a sweet summer party filled with desserts of all sorts!
We went for bold colors to really strengthen the theme of the party.
Grab some chalkboards, easily found at Michael's or any craft store, and use chalk markers (like our pink one here) to write labels for food you are serving.
Bouquets of flowers never go wrong. Aim to have them at all parties! They really brighten a room too. These were from Canary Janes.
Desserts are so important... The amazing ombre cake you see to the right, and all the desserts at our party were made by Studio Cake. Believe us, they were incredibly delicious.
Cakepops and cocktails. A beautiful combination that's easily enjoyed by all. Serve a variety, so guests have the option to choose between flavors.
Details...details..details are important and they're surely noticed! Simple decorations, like these vintage glass perfume bottles, are great ways to add that extra umph! to your party.
These balloons were assembled by Blush Love Mint. Instead of the dozen of balloons you pick up at Party City, get just a few of these giant balloons!
Here's a final thought...cake in mason jars. It's genius.

The best way to end any dinner party is the scrumptious cake waiting at the end of the table. So what better way to display the reward? On a vintage cake stand that's easy to make - just make sure your plate and candlestick are clean and dry. Allison of 
There is something particularly dreamy about a city that embraces pastel-hued homes. Ones that sit along charming cobblestone streets, and finds a way to use a fun fruit as a humble sign of welcoming guests into its arms (pineapples to be exact, who would have thought?) A rainbow assortment of ‘buttercream-frosting,' ‘summertime peach ice-cream,' and ‘mint chocolate chip’ is about the best way to describe the colors the city boasts as its own. Charleston, S.C. is like no other. It’s a place where history once touched just about everything you see and the salty air seems to hint summer will always be around the corner, even when fall is quickly approaching us.
