ABOVE: An ombré design (the graduated shading of similar colors) kicks this soiree into cool gear, tying together
this sweet 16’s fave colors and her vivacious attitude, plus giving her a chance to shine, mix and mingle with both
boys and girls outside of the school environment (and with you, parents!). And while it looks amazing, throwing a
party like this isn’t hard or overly expensive. The custom (and homemade) party hat backdrop is six easy steps from
start to looking grande. Remember to dive into the details and include things like sweets and treats that match the
theme. For this party, we love the fancy, girly cupcakes, the brilliantly hued Italian sodas and watercolor macaroons
from Liger’s Bakery in Montgomery.
