Hi Carolyn,

As the Decor Diva, I can give you plenty of ideas for the decor of such a great party idea.

Diva parties are all about the glitz and the glamour. Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle!

The very first thing that you need to do is decide on a color scheme. There are plenty of great color combo ideas, but two of my favorite for any Diva party are...

Leopard print, cream, and hot pink
Zebra print, white, and hot pink

The leopard print is all about browns, creams, and splashes of hot pink. With this color scheme, you'll want to use gold as your accent color.

With the zebra print color combo, use silver as your accent.

Elegance can be achieved with candles, flowers, and twinkle lights. Make your table centerpieces stunning. Feathers are a great way to bring in the drama to this Diva party theme. You can place them in the centerpieces, or use feather boas in your decor.

A fun thing to do a birthday party is to create a place for the guest of honor to open gifts. For this Diva girl theme, hang velvet curtains on the wall or suspended from the ceiling. In front of the curtains, place a table for the gifts. Lay a gorgeous table cloth on the table and put pretty flowers on the table. Hang a beautiful chandelier from the ceiling over the table. Set up a large chair. For this theme, make sure it is a very luscious chair.

Decorate this area with plants, flowers, candles, and greenery. Make it really special. As the guest of honor is opening up her gifts, the guests can take pictures. This will be a wonderful backdrop for the photos.

Balloons are a great way to bring in color at a birthday party for any age. Use in your centerpieces. Make balloon arches. Or use them anywhere you need to add color.

I hope your elegant Diva 50th birthday party is a huge success!
