Additional Tip

Additional Tip
For the balloon garland, we used 2 DIY balloon garland kits from One Stylish Party and affixed the garlands over the mantle so that the balloons looked like they were “spilling out” of the fireplace. We also added some fabulous shiny mylar balloons from Northstar — lips, hearts and XOXO balloons.

Pink & White Mousse Parfaits

- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 3-oz. box instant white chocolate pudding
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 pint fresh raspberries
- Pink food coloring
- Sprinkles
- Piping bags
Directions
- In a bowl, beat the whipping cream and milk until soft peaks form.

- Scoop the white and pink mousse into two separate piping bags fit with small round tips. If you don’t have tips, you can just snip a corner of the piping bag off.

Styling tips
A Charming Fête shares its top tips for pulling off this event.

Tip 1
This party is all about pink! Don’t be shy to go all out on pink decor!

Tip 2
We recommend incorporating fresh flowers – after all, it’s Valentine’s Day! We ordered fresh floral arrangements for the table in tonal pinks ranging from pastel to hot hot hot! As a less expensive option, you can pick up flowers from the local market in a blend of pinks to add a fresh pop to your table.

Tip 3
Nothing makes brunch more fun than a cocktail (see the Prep Section for our Kir Royale recipe)!

Tip 4
It’s very simple to display the desserts and food in a visually appealing way. We usually recommend using a kitchen island / counter or a open table. We love creating different levels on the table display using cake stands of various heights.

Tip 5
We used the Sugarfina candy cubes as favors and to display on the bar cart. The candy can also be used as a garnish on cupcakes or cookies.
