Use a candle holder to arrange the dyed eggs on.  So cute!

Use plastic eggs or raw eggs (with the center blown out) to put in the vase of an arrangement.  If using plastic eggs, put something in them to weigh them down in the water, with a couple floating on top.  

These can be great name-settings: blow out the insides of a raw egg, make a hole big enough for the flower to go through.  Egg cups, napkin rings, votives can all be used to hold the eggs.

The vision: A place where butterfles might want ot live.

I think you captured that beautifully!  Everything she did was handmade–from the tissue paper “poofs” hanging on the walls, to the flag banners, water bottles, Rice-crispy rattles, games, food, table cloths and center pieces.

My personal favorites from this event are the Rice-crispy rattles and the flower puffs.  You can find the puff tutorial here.  Her space was limited, and she had to fit 20 guests in! However, it doesn’t look overcrowded and stuffed at all…infact, I love how intiamte and cozy it looks.  Thanks so much for sharing these great ideas with everyone! I love getting emails from my readers and I especially love to share what they have to offer, keep them coming!

I love this garland made by Whitney Deal of Darling Dexter for Style Me Pretty.  Was that confusing enough?  Anyway, the colors are so bright and classy.  Like I said earlier: I’m a fan of being festive for holidays, but not being cheesy.  This epitomizes it.  Step by step directions with pics found here.
