Rainbow Connection

It rained today, thank goodness. One, we need it. And two, it held off until after prom. There were no rainbows (yet), but it reminded me that I didn't share the pretty decorations in "daylight."

Like I said, the women who orchestrated this have an eye for design. Just loved the colors and what they did with them. Just thought I'd share in case you have a summer-time sherbet-time party of some sort coming up. You might get a few ideas...

Dance floor area with the tulle canopy and lighted posts wrapped in more magical mesh.

View looking from dance floor toward dining area and stage. The "Royals" on the floor is proof it was a gymnasium up until last Thursday!

The tables kept the color scheme going with criss-crossing sashes and bows around the white-covered chairs. Gave it such a nice, formal look!

There were two towers of lighted votive candles – one in front of each side of the stage. Got to light those Saturday before dinner. They lasted a long time and no one's dress started on fire. Whew.

On Friday, a table of balloon holders sat waiting for their attachments. There ended up being a balloon tunnel type entrance. I guess I forgot to take the "after picture" of that on Saturday.

And about that chicken wire. The little "balls of light" on stage and in front are the chicken wire bales wrapped in colored lights. How's that for a cool idea?

Seriously, all you need to decorate for a party is chicken wire and a staple gun. The rest will fall in place!

Good luck!
