{Woodland Camping Birthday}

I just love how this Woodland Camping party turned out!  Even when bad weather threatened our outdoor party and we had to change venues, the setting was just as cute as can be.

A color scheme of orange, lime, navy, turquoise and brown, with burlap details.  Very woodsy, yet perfect for a third birthday.


We wanted to create a campsite, complete with tee pee's, blankets and pillows for some late night movie watching, and this is what I came up with. 



The dessert table area is my absolute favorite part.  From the pine trees, green floor treatment, the mock-up tent in the backdrop to the cute woodland animal friends and the custom made campfire.  The cake was provided by my friend Mary from The Cake Factory, desserts by Sugar Bliss and the fantastic cookies by Cookies by Suehery.  

























For favors each kid received a bandanna on a stick full of fun camping gear such as magnifying glass, binoculars and flashlights.

{Golden Safari Baby Shower}

This darling baby shower was a surprise party for my friend's sister-in-law. When deciding on a theme she only said she loved white and I immediately suggested a gold and white color scheme.  I was inspired by a gold and white birthday I found online, but since she's having a boy, we wanted something a little more boyish and less glittery.  The result was a stunning, delicate and elegant event, with the right amount of sparkle.







The dessert table was simple yet elegant, with lovely desserts in golden undertones and white.  The cake was simple and so beautiful, a definite centerpiece by The Cake Factory.

A lot of thought was put into this display, serving sweets that were appropriate for adult guests.  Sugar Bliss created desserts that included lemon cheesecakes as well as pumpkin cheesecake, "turron" {which is a traditional Spanish hard candy made out of caramel and almonds -- delish!), hazelnut chocolates, chocolate truffles and various cookies, including those fantastic coconut royal icing cookies by Cookies by Suehery.

















We completed the setup with a garland backdrop, in different shapes and textures.






For centerpieces we created floral arrangements in hand painted vases, our golden animals as toppers and gold figurines.
