Alice in Wonderland Birthday Party

4/3/2016

I styled and designed this Alice in Wonderland dessert table for a gorgeous little girl turning 1!!!

The desserts consisted of fruit tarts, custom cookies, mini cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries and a two tier cake!

I used crisp white linen for the base of the table. To act as a banner, I used a pocket watch style clock and hung the linked chain across the front of the table. I purchased the plastic link chain from Home Depot, spray painted it gold and attached it to the wall clock!
My favorite part has to be the backdrop! I had so much fun making these paper flowers! Some of the flowers have little faces in them from characters in the movie! I watched a few tutorials and created a few different style flowers. I purchased the artificial grass from Home Depot.
I anchored a large metal gold key in the center of the backdrop to complete the look!
For table decor, a lovely friend of mine found an assortment of teacups at local thrift shops. Love her!

I made two stacks of four tea sets each, placed on moss circles and covered with a glass dome! (The domes main purpose was to prevent the kiddos from knocking the tea cups over)
I used a gold wire dessert stand to hold the vanilla cupcakes. Each mini cupcake had gold toppers that read "eat me". I placed chocolate covered strawberries on a tired dessert tray which sat on a gold jeweled cake stand.
The fruit tarts from The Crimson Cake also had gold toppers that read "fruit tarts".
My absolute favorite dessert item where the custom cookies by Creeative Cookies by Ree! Isn't she amazing!

I had so much fun with this table!

Vintage Aviation Baby Shower

4/3/2016

0 Comments

I styled and designed this vintage aviation themed baby shower for a beautiful Mommy-to-be expecting her first child!

I used a color scheme of navy, red, tan and accents of silver!

Dessert table
I used navy linen, purchased from balsacircle.com to dress the table and adorned with a banner reading "Baby Stats". The dessert items included carrot cupcakes, almond, cupcakes, chocolate cake pops, Oreo cake pops, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate covered Oreos and a custom ombré cake!
I found the cute wood/metal dessert stands at World Market and thought it would work perfectly to hold the cake pops! The chocolate and Oreo cake pops made by Sweet Serendipity had navy flags which read "Baby Stats" and "It's a Boy". The flags were made by Heather Nelson Designs. The two large candy jars were filled with Twizzler Bites and dressed with a navy ribbon and 2" label.
I used my trusty macaroon stands to hold the chocolate covered Oreos. I found the cute plane chocolate mold on Amazon.
Mini mason jars held the strawberry cheesecakes. I added a wooden dessert spoon and attached it with navy bakers twine. Creeative Cookies by Ree made the amazing aviation themed cookies!
The backdrop was designed by Kortnee of Oh La La Design!

Mimosa Bar
I love adding Mimosa Bars to events! So much fun for the guest!
The beverages included orange juice, apple juice, cranberry juice, pomegranate juice and of course champagne. The garnishments included oranges, lemons, raspberries, mint and blueberries. I used mason jars to hold paper straws and serving utensils which all sat on a vintage highchair.
