Party Inspiration: Vintage WWII Inspired 4th of July Dessert Table

This past Monday we featured some 4th of July party inspiration, which included a red, white, cream and copper color scheme for an adult and {adorable} kids table.  Well, because 4th of July is one of my absolute favorite holidays, I wanted to share with you some more party inspiration for your holiday gathering.  Today's feature comes from the Celebrating the Moments blog and has a super creative theme for the dessert table - vintage WWII.  The color scheme consisted of muted red and blue and tan.  The decor included vintage suitcases, pinwheels, stripe straws, old photographs and an old typewriter. Desserts included cupcakes, sugar cookies, blueberry pie, and dessert shooters.













This has to be one of the most unique design concept for a 4th of July party.  I love all the little details that were added to this to keep with the vintage WWII theme.  If you're interested in finding out more about the styling of this party, and where the idea came from, be sure to head over to the Celebrating the Moments blog and show some love!

Party Inspiration: Red, Blue, Cream and Copper

It's less than a month until the big summer holiday - Fourth of July - and if you're anything like me, you take the extra time to hang with family and friends and celebrate our country's independence, which means you have to make sure you celebrate in style - just like this styled photo shoot from The Sweetest Occasion.  The designers of this photo shoot were inspired by the poem "Brown Penny" by William Butler Yeats, where it's contemplated whether the speaker is old enough for love, leading to the idea of a young love {a kids table} and old love {an adult table}.














While this photo shoot was originally designed for a wedding, I think borrowing some of these ideas for your own Fourth of July or Memorial Day parties would look great - and your guests would be super impressed!  To view more photos and read more about this styled shoot, head over to The Sweetest Occasion.
