Oscar Party Inspiration
February 10th, 2011
With the Academy Awards coming up and all the DIY freebies available to host your own award party, I thought it’d be fun to gather some Oscar event inspiration.
I’ve been obsessed with this Oreo Cake since I spotted it in the September issue of Martha Stewart Living. Since the Oscars are traditionally a black tie event, I can’t think of a more appropriate occasion to make one of these! Yumm!
I’m also loving gold lately! Funny how as a girl I loathed it, and now I can’t get enough of the stuff! Gold confetti plates would be perfect for an awards party. Speaking of sparkle, sequined shoes and a glittered clutch would make the for lovely accessories to a red gown or a shimmering black dress.
And before the night is over, gold heart shaped cakes would make for a sweet finish to a glamorous evening!

Hi! I love your blog, but this is the first time I’ve commented. When I first discovered your blog, I read through it straight to the beginning. No joke! It took a few days, but it was worth it! You’re very inspirational!
Enjoyed your post. I recently started my own little log of things I enjoy too and I thought it’d share my post about gold sparkles in case you’re interested: http://www.daydreamincolor.com/?p=74

I forget, but didn’t you throw an Oscar/Dove Party last year? I wasn’t sure if it was Oscar related 🙂 It was fun though!

i LOVE that dress, wow! Great picks. I feel the same way about gold, it used to be so faux pas!

Great inspiration here. Love that Oreo cake – who would think that packaged cookies could look so elegant?!

Oh, I love this post and all your lovely lovely ideas for OSCAR night. I always make a hole night of The Oscars and have taped the award gala for over 20 years! 😀 But it’s a struggle to stay awake every time because of the time difference here in Sweden 🙂
Kind regars
