A Very Minnie Birthday Party!

Our latest event was a 2nd birthday party for an adorable two year old!  The party was planned to be indoors, but the weather had different plans.  It's been raining for about three days straight here in sunny Southern California.  We made a few adjustments, and we loved how everything turned out.  It was a fun, girly, and stylish party - just like the birthday girl herself!





The dessert/candy bar:  cupcakes, yogurt covered pretzels, red & black licorice, peppermints, Hershey's Kisses, Tootsie Rolls, red cinnamon hard candy, and Minnie shaped rice krispy treats.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Madison Rae!

Winter Wedding & Event Inspiration

 You gotta love Martha.  Check out these lovely, creative, and even DIY ideas.  We can think of tons of ways to incorporate them into any winter wedding or event!

The "midnight snack."  Serve to guests after a long night of dancing - or use in a dessert bar at your Holiday party!

Chic, festive, and yummy favors.

Groom's Cake favor boxes ~ a nice parting gift for your guests.  Fill boxes with yummy treats of any kind.

Elegant centerpieces.  These say "Winter Wonderland" all over them.  The vases are wrapped in wallpaper!

Coconut Souffle ~ Favors & Dessert in one!

Individual servings of Mac-N-Cheese ~ comfort food at its finest. 

Paper flower place settings ~ adorable.

Crocheted ring bearer pillows ~ warm and cozy!

Elegant and modern candleholders ~ find them at stores like IKEA and CB2.

Paper Wreaths ~ used as a pew wreath for a wedding as shown, or as decor for your Holiday party!

Snowflake Cake ~ does anything say "Winter" more than a snowflake?  Add some sparkle to these snowflakes, and we'd be in heaven.

Snowy Pinecone Cake ~ lovely!

We are busy gearing up for Holiday parties at Yours Truly.  Stay tuned for photos from a Minnie Mouse themed birthday we're doing this weekend for an adorable little {almost} two year old!
