There is so much to love about a monogram! It's one of my favorite ways to add a personal touch to any party. Placing the guest of honor's initials on the dessert is a fun and pretty way to personalize your party. Here is a collection of some of my favorite monogrammed desserts. Enjoy the prettiness!

Valentine's Table for Two: Queen of Hearts

Valentine's Day is a week away! Have you made plans with your sweetie yet?! The incredibly talented and creative Chris Nease of Celebrations at Home designed a romantic table for two using the "Queen of Hearts" collection designed by Frog Prince Paperie!

Every dinner needs dessert right?! Chris set up a small dessert table for two with chocolate-dipped strawberries, mini cupcakes and beautiful cookies from Allyson Jane. Alyson's cookies are DELICIOUS and it so neat how she can transfer any design into an edible image on a cookie!

The wine labels are unique and one of my favorite parts! Use it on a wine or champagne bottle or even on plain gift wrap as Chris suggested.

I really like how Chris placed the classic cupcake toppers so close to the icing!

Cookies by Allyson Jane...delish...and a show stopper!

How cute are the strawberry picks?! The food tent cards by Frog Prince Paperie were perfect on the table and I love the mixtures of graphics they incorporated.

Now for the dinner table...

Chris used a simple white tablecloth and adorned it with black lace trim. The beautiful centerpiece arrangement consisted of real flowers with some whimsical flowers and felt flowers as a runner.

Included in the collection are Love Notes {so sweet!}.

Paper cones rested on chair backs which Chris embellished with beaded feathers, trim and ribbon.

Drink flags are so popular and cute, but Chris put them to a different use on her table. She made heart shaped straw markers by attaching two different patterns and attaching them with double sided tape. She then curled the ends for a finishing touch.

A few more shots of the romantic love letters from the collection. You can also use the decorative papers to line trays, creative crafts and embellish gifts.

Chris did a lovely job styling this romantic table and Paula of Frog Prince Paperie created a beautiful printable collection for everyone to use. The Queen of Hearts collection would also work great for a bachelorette party, couples shower or even a lingerie shower!

{Real Parties} A Modern Aqua & Green Apple Shower

Katie of Katie Grace Designs has impeccable taste and I love every party she puts together! What I love the most about Katie's parties is that they are hand made and full of DIY details. I know you will be smitten with all of the special touches found throughout this modern aqua and green apple baby shower!

Katie made this door hanger using large letters from a craft store, fake green apples and paint. Visit Katie Grace Designs to read about the how-tos on all of the shower projects.

Here is a perfect example of Katie's attention to detail! The sign in pens are even wrapped in coordinating fabric and topped with a mini apple!

Lots of spray paint was used here and on many of the other decor items.

Another great DIY project! Katie recycled sparkling water bottles and spray painted them green to be used as vases.

To continue the apple theme, there was an apple cider station of course!

I love the look of the favor table! Guests took home apple cider encased in homemade packages along with a fabric wrapped apple.

Thank you Katie for sharing this perfectly styled party with us! You will find many more pictures and details at Katie Grace Designs.
