Lately, I’ve been obsessed with cacti and succulents (stay tuned for my succulent wreath tutorial coming soon). I wanted the cacti to be the focal point of this party. Using shades of green, coral, and gold tones throughout made this party a lovely summer affair. Check out all of my tutorials so you can throw your own cactus party!
There's just something fun about setting a table. It's reminds me of getting dressed. You start off with the table runner, centerpiece, cutlery and serving wear, and continue adding elements until your table is complete. I really love the way a set table looks when it's complete. 
These glasses are stunning. And an added bonus -- they are plastic. They are a subtle touch that adds a fancy vibe to the table setting. 
If real cacti aren't cute enough, you will have to check out these amazing cacti and succulent cupcakes. Kyra, of Kyra's Bake Shop and her staff came through and made these incredible cupcakes. Not only did they look amazing, they tasted great too! 
Adding these colorful Sand Art Cactus Centerpieces to the center of the table makes a dramatic statement. You can tailor the colors of sand to match your party theme and color palette. Make sure to check out the tutorial so you make some for your house too! 
These place cards were made using Mini Terra Cotta Pots, Mini Styrofoam Balls, Crystal Floral Pins, Pink Tulip Beads and green craft paint. Add some hot glue to the inside of the Mini Terra Cotta Pot and place your painted "cactus" inside the pot. Glue your guest's name onto a Crystal Floral Pin and place it the cactus. I just can't get enough of these little prickly plants. They are so pretty and look incredible. 
If the cacti cupcakes aren't cute enough on their own, check them out in these Coral Cupcake Boxes with Handle. If you want to make them even prettier, simply tie a piece of White Lace Ribbon on the handle. Your guests will love taking these delicious cupcakes home with them in style. 
I'm loving these Sparkling Coral Chocolate Candies. They look great and taste amazing too. Add them to a pretty compote and you have a beautiful dish of candy! Ta-da! 
Churros are another perfect dessert to serve at a cactus party. They are easy to make and the perfect finger food. Serve them with an assortment of dipping sauces so guests can pick their favorite flavor combinations. 
I hope you enjoyed this vintage, chic cactus party. I love the way it turned out! I hope these ideas will inspire you to throw a Cactus Party for your next get together.
