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.

 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!

A Chic & Simple Thanksgiving Kids Table

We can't get enough of this adorable tablescape by the amazingly talented Chris from Celebrations at Home.   She created a simple and easy table with the new product line from Waverly & Hefty ~ durable disposable partyware.  This is absolutely perfect for elementary age kids, and the line can easily be used from Thanksgiving to Christmas.  Plus, we love chic & cost-effective decor!

Thanks, Celebrations at Home, for sharing!

A Little Halloween Wedding Inspiration!

We love the idea of a chic Halloween wedding.  There is definitely a way to throw a great wedding ~ or any event on a holiday ~ in a classy way.  Here are some great inspiration shots...

We love this dessert display ~ and we think we'd love the yummy treats on it even more!

The key to a chic Halloween event is to stick to elegant colors ~ think white, black, deep purples or reds.  It is absolutely possible to throw a spectacular event that's not so "in your face" Halloween.

Happy Trick-or-Treating!

Mittskus Wine-Themed Cupcake Display

Danielle & Kyle went with a wine theme for their October wedding at the Summit House in Fullerton, California.  What a beautiful location ~ and a beautiful day! 

We loved creating this cupcake display design incorporating the wine theme as well as their bright choice of colors.  We love how it turned out!

The cupcakes and couple's cake were actually made by Ashley of Your's Truly

The "M" cake topper was handmade by a friend of the bride - so pretty!

Danielle planned every other aspect of her wedding all on her own.  She did a fabulous job ~ so we had to shoot some photos of the details!

What a view!

The Candy Bar

A special THANK YOU and a sweet touch from the bride and groom.

We loved being able to help with Kyle & Danielle's special day.  Congratulations, you two!
