End of Summer Party Inspiration

Decorating

August 18, 2009

I love that Sunflowers are making a big comeback for late Summer decorating! They are so bright and cheerful. To me they signal that Fall is not far away (thank goodness!).

Here are a few ideas for incorporating them into your End of Summer Parties:

The yellow and dark brown really make an impact on this table setting.

These plates would be perfect for an end of summer gathering. They are rustic and earthy.

This sunflower table decor incorporates lemons. A great addition to the bright yellow and blue. These arrangements are a bit dressier with roses added to the bouquets.

Pillow covers to spread the theme throughout your house.

And for dessert…sunflower cupcakes.

Sunflower seeds would make perfect party favors! I love the rustic simplicity of this arrangement.

Sunflowers are so versatile. You can dress them up or down. Combined with other flowers or alone they make unique arrangements. I hope this inspires you to say goodbye to summer with a celebration. Have fun planning all of your end of summer soirees!
