Labor Day Entertaining

We are off to Shelter Island for one last long weekend of fun in the sun with the family. This summer has by far been the best for me as I have had the luxury to spend lots of time with the people I love and enjoy a flexible schedule for the first time in my life. I am so grateful to have all the amazing memories I have created the past few months. While we don't have a ton of plans during our stay I do love the idea of entertaining in style for any occasion under & Labor Day is no exception. Luckily the fine folks over at Martha Stewart took the bull by the horns and created a tasty menu, simple decor and fabulous paper products to host a BBQ for the long weekend...I hope you have the best weekend celebrating summer with your loved ones!

frayed

I first fell in love with the fringed look when I laid eyes on the beautiful creations made by Confetti Systems and Geronimo Balloons. However their price points can be a bit high for party decor, which is why I was thrilled to stumble upon the queen of DIY, inspiration for all things fringed and frayed in stylish party decor. Everything from balloon tassels, backdrops, cake toppers, bouquets and more, there are numerous options to use this shredded tissue in chic ways.

Are you as obsessed with this look as I am??? 

This cake is insanely gorgeous.

 

A natural looking wrap for your bouquet would be perfect for a garden wedding.

I love photo-booths, this neutral backdrop is simple yet stunning.

You know I love me some cocktail adornments. Love.

Escort card display is simple yet elegant and the tissue colors can be coordinated to match your soirees color palette. 

Package your favorite treats with these amazing favor boxes. They are perfection. 

A playful invitation suite that can be used for any occasion, especially perfect for new years!

While I am completely smitten with this twiggy design I still prefer fresh flowers as a centerpiece  I would instead use this for a dessert or gift table. 

A very unique way to fold your napkin and give your table setting an extra pop of color.
