oscars 2012 countdown: party decor inspired by the help
Yesterday I shared some
party decor ideas to give your home a chic look to reflect the glitz and glam of the Oscars. But to truly reflect this year's
Academy Awards, why not pull inspiration from the 2012 nominees? [caption id="attachment_11527" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="via Wikipedia"]
[/caption] Today is all about southern comfort with ideas inspired by one of the Best Picture nominees
The Help. It only takes a few
decor accessories to transform your space into a Mississippi home straight out of the 1960s.
Napkins A set of bold graphic napkins inspired by the rich floral print dresses worn by Emma Stone and her gal pals is a cost-effective way to add interest to your table.
toocutecustomcrafts on Etsy, $28 US (set of four).
Recycled glass vases Repurposed wine bottles offer soothing colours and make pretty vases to dress up your
living room in true southern fashion!
West Elm, $12.55.
Handmade paper flowers Finding beautiful blush hydrangea blooms in the middle of winter might be a challenge, so save yourself the headache and opt for these delicate paper blossoms instead! They're an easy way to create a soft and romantic centerpiece to your party
tabletop.
VyntageBlooms on Etsy, $13.95 US.
Vintage 1960s playing cards You may not enjoy playing bridge as much as
The Help ladies, but that doesn't mean you can't use a vintage deck as decorative accents. Repurposed into
tablesettings, invitations or thank you cards for a touch of
shabby chic authenticity.
BlissandVinegar on Etsy, $11.50 US.
