in your pocket: tried and true party decor for your perfect palette party

I love (LOVE!) the feeling of stumbling upon that perfect decorative accent for a party/shower/wedding I’m planning. I feel like decor is so important- just a few special decorations to match the party’s palette can really tie together an entire event.

Then again, there are a few elements of decor that I come back to again and again, no matter what my palette is or what we’re celebrating. These tried and true accents are stunning, easy to put together, and can be modified to any palette. Next time you’re planning a party, scroll through this list, find a few accents that suit your fancy, craft them in your palette and cross, “decor” off your event to-do list.
