Planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah is no small feat—from themes and colors to entertainment and favors, every detail matters. One of our favorite ways to add a “wow” moment (and a sweet one at that) is with a stunning candy buffet.

Let’s just say it: hosting an event can get expensive fast. I’ve been there — you want everything to feel special, look polished, and be memorable... but you also glance at the invoice from a rental vendor and wonder how anyone pulls this off without dropping two grand on a baby shower.

While I haven’t officially styled a 4th of July party (yet!), I’ve created enough red, white, and blue-inspired tablescapes to know exactly what works. So whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, a neighborhood block party, or a cozy fireworks night at home, I’ve pulled together everything you need to create a festive dessert moment using pieces from my 4th of July Amazon Idea List.

When I get to work with repeat clients it seriously makes my heart so happy. For one, I feel so incredibly honored that I get to be a part of so many pivotal and really special moments in people's lives. You can't get more personal than someone's wedding or baby shower.
