OH VALENTINE PT 1

I consider Valentines Day to be one of the more sacred holidays that exist (it's up there with Halloween) for a handful of reasons. Sans the year I rattled off a trajectory of reasons why it's a useless capitalist scheme for major companies to make money, as long as I can remember- on years that I've been single OR dating someone- I've loved it. And sincerely, what's not to love about a holiday that exists soley to eat candy and shower your loved ones with attention? It's dreamy.

This year I'm planning a massive prom themed Valentines Day party (I never went to my prom, so this is a HUGE DEAL) and have been inundated with inspiring DIY crafts, treats, and ideas of all shapes and sizes. Here are a few of them, but check back as the event comes closer and I begin to craftin' and cooking. Don't forget that every day is a great day to shower your loved ones in adoration.

These brilliant doily votives were thought up by Christine Chitnis. Cute and simple!

I love me a good heart banner! I'm seriously into this lavender color as well.

It wouldn't be a prom unless there was a photobooth, amirite? I'm thinkin some cheesy props would add a little oomph as well.

I grabbed these images from pinterest and couldn't locate the original source of the last 2 images. If you know where they came from, please let me know! xo
