✨ Chic Color Schemes That Slay
Forget the traditional black and gold—think rose gold and blush, champagne and white, or emerald green and silver for a fresh, upscale vibe. Match everything from balloons to tableware and confetti to your chosen palette for a luxe, cohesive look.
Pro Tip: Mix in metallics like gold foil curtains, sequin tablecloths, and chrome balloons to add sparkle and elegance.
🎈DIY Balloon Backdrops & Instagram-Worthy Photo Zones
Create a DIY graduation balloon garland in your chosen glam palette with metallic and jumbo number balloons to highlight the grad year. Add a neon sign like “Grad Goals” or “Shine Bright” to complete your photo zone.
🎓 Personalized Touches with a Luxe Twist
-
Custom Graduation Cap Guest Book: Use a cap-shaped board and gold markers for guests to sign.
-
Champagne Tower (or Sparkling Cider!): Elevate the moment with a bubbly toast.
-
Photo Memory Wall: Feature pics from kindergarten to senior year in chic gold frames or pinned to fairy light strands.
🧁 Decadent Dessert Tables
Make your dessert table the centerpiece. Think:
-
Gold-leafed cupcakes
-
Macaron towers with edible glitter
-
Custom cookies shaped like diplomas or grad caps
-
A “Class of [Year]” cake with metallic accents
DIY Tip: Use clear acrylic risers and mirrored trays to create layers and reflect light for a dazzling effect.
