Raise the Cake

I just adore these cake stands from Raise The Cake.:

and even for your cupcakes:

What a great way to add some show stopping details to your cake table. Raise The cake has an array of colors and styles for you to choose from, offering you a great way to carry through your overall vision into your cake stand as well. After all, your cake is a showpiece and they too, deserve a standing ovation.

Pom Pom Love

Tissue Paper Pom Poms. What a cool, innovative and AFFORDABLE element to include in your parties, showers or other social gatherings. These little poms of fun, cousins to the paper lanterns and balloons are another great decor choice that is instrumental in creating a huge impact in your decor space. And if you are not a DIY buff like myself (depending on what day of the week it is) there are many sources available on the web offering an array of poms in different colors, size and qty.

Take a look at these inspirations on using pom poms in your decorations:
