Inspired by Cherries

My friend Tori at Thoughtfully Simple truly designs some of the most amazing theme parties, she is so creative and always so inspiring ~ and this cherry themed party does not disappoint!

To create the red & aqua tablescape, she paired vintage inspired cherry invitations,
cherry tea towels to use as decor and/or a hostess gift, cherry mojitos, red dot luncheon napkins and pale blue 10" plates.

With cherries as the main inspiration for the menu, look for salad recipes that
incorporated cherries (like this cherry-arugula salad). For the dessert try chocolate
cherry mouse shots, mini cherry pies, cherry vanilla cupcakes and chocolate cherry cakes.
You can also pick some coordinate fabric (like this aqua dot) and make simple runners for
your dessert table, drink areas and even the main table.

For refreshments, try cherry lemonade to keep guests cool. For favors, send guests home
with a bag of fresh cherries that they can enjoy later; and tie the bags closed with these adorable cherry tags. And the cherry on top?? The darling cherry thank you cards!

Be sure to check out Thoughtfully Simple's blog to get all the recipes to the cherry inspired
food listed above, and links to where to get a hold of the darling cherry decor!

Cherries are such a delightful favorite of mine! These ideas were so pretty and fun to see. I want some of those little scalloped bags with the cherries.
