Party Decor: Pink & Black

Here's a sneak peek at what I've been working on this past week. I am throwing a bachelorette party for a dear friend who's getting married next month, I have more pictures to share soon so stay tuned...

White feather wreath

Most of us probably have plenty of old holiday decor that we no longer use. For me I moved to a new house, and when I did my decor changed, so a lot of my old holiday decorations no longer match my new decor scheme. I know we've all experienced this, whether we love green and red one year or aqua and ice blue the next, it can get pretty expensive keeping up with our changing moods and decor choices!

So it was in this moment of reflection that I was inspired to use some of my old seasonal holiday decor and recreate it. Why on earth would I want to spend more $$$.

Here is the before wreath gifted to me by my mother, it was from Halloween/Thanksgiving...I hope my mother won't read this! LOL

And as most of you know, I recently made feather ornament balls, so I had plenty of feathers left over...the result is a whimsical white feather wreath. I have seen ones this size retail for over $30. I am pretty proud of myself right now :)

feather-made

Just when I thought that my tree was done, I spotted some whimsical feather ornaments, my heart was filled with joy, I felt so light and airy... but then I saw that each ornament cost $3.95, I know this is not super pricey, but I wasn't wanting to spend more money on my already almost finished tree. So my DIY sense kicked in ( I wonder if this is how spiderman felt most of the time? ) and I headed to my local craft store for foam balls, a pack of feathers and some ribbon. The result is my very own hand made ornaments, I just love them! What do you all think, should I have just bought them instead?
