Palm Springs Desert Party!

DIY Party, Zooey Magazine Our friends from The Styled Society helped us to design a beautiful Palm Springs Desert party. The decorations, desserts, and assembly of the party is perfectly doable with a little help from friends. So while the heat is still strong (yes, we're talking to you Los Angeles!), throw a sweet summer party filled with desserts of all sorts!

We went for bold colors to really strengthen the theme of the party.

Grab some chalkboards, easily found at Michael's or any craft store, and use chalk markers (like our pink one here) to write labels for food you are serving.

Bouquets of flowers never go wrong. Aim to have them at all parties! They really brighten a room too. These were from Canary Janes.

Desserts are so important... The amazing ombre cake you see to the right, and all the desserts at our party were made by Studio Cake. Believe us, they were incredibly delicious.

Cakepops and cocktails. A beautiful combination that's easily enjoyed by all. Serve a variety, so guests have the option to choose between flavors.

Details...details..details are important and they're surely noticed! Simple decorations, like these vintage glass perfume bottles, are great ways to add that extra umph! to your party.

These balloons were assembled by Blush Love Mint. Instead of the dozen of balloons you pick up at Party City, get just a few of these giant balloons!

Here's a final thought...cake in mason jars. It's genius.
