Custom Party Decor

I love to incorporate unique touches to my events and parties.  In addition to custom linens, I created my own little masterpiece with just a few items from around my home to add  Flair and customize the party. 
 For the artwork about the fireplace, I used a picture frame, fabric, wire, wooden #2, and ribbon to customize my daughter's tea party.I added ribbon to a white picture frame and used fabric that I used throughout my design as a background.  I twisted the wire to form a teacup and covered it with ribbon, then centered it in the frame. The painted #2 (my baby girls' age) was added to the middle of the "teacup" and wha-la! a unique custom piece of art that complimented the decor.
Another custom piece which I loved was the pearl chandelier.  I spray painted a chandelier with pearl colored paint and attached  pearls to it in a looping design. 
  I worked perfectly with my design and really was the Flair Factor at the center of the scene!
Add unique pieces and use a little imagination to create a customized space for your event!

Kids Spring Tea Party

Paisley, Polka dot and Pearls, three looks I love! I thought it would be perfect together for a little girl's Spring Tea Party. So I ran with it for my daughter's 2nd birthday. To keep the party fresh and fun, I paired them with a vibrant palette of orange, yellow and teal. I used the perfect paisley fabric with hues of the three colors throughout my design to bring my vision to fruition. I mixed polka dots and pearl accents to complete my look. Starting with the invitation, the little guests got a peak into what they would experience.


The first impression,

The experience starts at the door with a simple fringe wreath using the paisley fabric, and wooden arrow sign.


Paisley table runners and a table cap for the desert table were made to anchor of the design. The table setting included teabag cookies and a cookie spoon to snack on. Mango peach juice was served in bottles outfitted with pearls for girls and bow ties for boys.  Napkin were wrapped with pearl napkin rings. I used boxwood ball topiary's topped mini urns as the centerpieces, mini milk pitchers also held smaller boxwood balls, and birdcages for a springtime feel.  I hung a pearl chandelier above the table for an ultra feminine touch!





Aren't these the cutest petite chivari chairs for our little ones from Petite Seats? Chairs for girls were also decked out with pearls and bows! Olive Branch Papery did a fab job designing all of the my baby girls' stationery.
A pearl chandelier is a must! Isn't it?
Every tea party should have one of these....And the piece de resistance... a vintage tea cart! I love it!

Milk shots in mini creamer pitchers!

Our Deserts Display included custom sugar cookies, cake pops, french macarons, cheesecake, jello jars, and chocolate covered strawberries. 

My baby taking everything in!

My love!

I love the way the mini fabric garland cake topper turned out!

Cheesecake macarons! Delish!
 

The kids had a great time at the party. After "tea", we changed into comfy clothes and went outdoors for an Easter egg hunt and egg decorating! 

 Tea parties are always a cute idea to have for little girls, but little boys will enjoy it as well!

New Year, New Baby Gender Reveal Part

I can't believe how time has flown by! We are practically a full month into 2014! Well for the new year at hand, I have a gender reveal to share from a "New Year, New Baby" reveal party. Gender reveal decor doesn't always have to be in your typical pink and blue color palette.  For a fresh modern take, I chose a gender neutral colorway of mint green, gold, with accents of silver. Since the reveal was held during the holiday season, props were made from tinsel, ornament balls, and glitter created a festive atmosphere.  But it doesn't have to be the holiday season to use glitter and sparkly accents! I would use it any time of the year to glam up my events and add Flair! The male and female gender symbols were used throughout the decor. Check out some of fun details below.
