Spring is here and it’s time to start thinking about your spring and summer celebrations! One of my favorite ways to decorate for those parties is with hanging chandeliers. Formal, informal, homemade or purchased, they look gorgeous over dining or dessert tables and add fantastic height to a partyscape. I can’t think of a more perfect summertime party chandelier than butterflies! This DIY Butterfly Chandelier is easy to make and brings so much beautiful color to a party. And the best part, it can be used in a little girl’s bedroom or playroom after. It’s far too precious to throw away after the party.
