There are certain style elements that never really leave but merely evolve and adjust with the emergence of new and unique ways to apply them.

Draping a space with colorful bunting flags instantly gives the feeling of a festival about to commence. Regardless of the occasion, never underestimate the power of bunting flags when it comes to livening up a space.

There are numerous Pinterest projects on how to make these dainty dangling decorations for parties and celebrations of all types. Some tissue paper, a little time and effort, and voila, perfectly lovely hand-made decorations to brighten up your festivities. Paper flowers are most often made in a pom-pom style and used to hang from ceilings or attach to walls. Anywhere they adorn will be cheered and brightened up instantly.
Real Flowers in Unique Vessels
Another timeless classic when it comes to their decorating potential are, of course, flowers. What is great about using flowers as a party decoration is that you can leave them up after the event for as long as they last to get more enjoyment out of them. A fabulous conversation starter for parties is to use unusual containers to display your cut flowers. Teapots, teacups for little posey-style bouquets, Mason jars, and basically anything else you have around that strikes your fancy make ideal decorations; plus, depending on what flowers you select for your arrangements, they can also make a special event smell as fantastic as they make it look.
When it comes to unique party decoration ideas, think outside the box. Old-school decorations like bunting flags are sometimes all it takes to warm up a space for a gathering. Adding some colorful dangling paper flowers juxtaposed next to the real thing displayed in unusual containers are sure to be conversation starters to help get the party moving.
