[@roxaneanderson2203]

Where did u get the cupcake stands...everything looks nice

[@victoriavega7409]

Your videos are awesome! Such beautiful work and always "fun and hip" as well! Did i really just say "hip", omg I'm 35!! Lol! But I agree with some of the other comments that say that the black looks even better when mixed with other colors! I'm not really into the 'OVER THE HILL" theme and black decorations make me think of that! And gold is so in right now! What are your thoughts on using lighter colors with the black? And I don't mean like white, but maybe light pink, blue, yellow etc.? OH! And i also think our videos are so easy to follow because you have one of those sweet, calming but encouraging voices! Thanks for all of your videos!

[@LivingLuxuriouslyforLess]

Thank you so much Victoria!!! Your comment is too sweet! I will mix black with almost everything!!! LOL! Have you seen my black and blush baby shower?

[@rachaelhyland754]

[@MsPrayerfulHeart]

Awesome! Beautiful setting. Was there a food table aside from the candy table? If so, how did you decorate it? And also what color napkins and cups would you put with the set up? Thanks

[@LivingLuxuriouslyforLess]

There was and it was the one with the black and white stripe tablecloth in the back of the room.... The menu was super simple so I didn't have much on it.... I used the graduation napkins and clear cups....

[@kiesha82]

This is awesome! Can you tell me what it is about the hobby lobby plastic tablecloths that you prefer over others?

[@LivingLuxuriouslyforLess]

They are much thicker and better quality (color) overall.

[@areli06gm]

Quick question, how did you do the backdrop. Is that vinyl attached to a board? Or is it fabric? How did you do it? I've been trying to find ideas on that.

[@LivingLuxuriouslyforLess]

+Areli Mendez it is fabric.... look under my Celebrating Luxe for Less tab on my home page and you can find the entire tutorial there 💕!
