Pink 'Girls Night In' For A Cause

I just love Ladies Nights, and when it's presented this lovely, AND for a great cause, it's all the better.  Once again Emily of White Room Events and Jennifer Sando worked together to share this beautiful party.  Emily hosted a ladies night for womens cancer awareness, and the styling of the event was nothing short of magical!

A gorgeous dessert table is full of pink treats and backed by a wall of fancy streamers. 

The seated table has an eclectic and slightly vintage look to it.  Various shade of pink in the flowers, table runner, and napkins make this table interesting to look at and a great place to linger after a meal.

What's a party without a photo booth area?!  More streamers are all that's needed to create a fun and whimsical backdrop for photos.  What a wonderful idea and great way to raise money for cancer.

This party would also be fantastic for bridal showers or milestone birthdays!

Spring Celebration Shoot With DIY Details

I have such a pretty inspiration shoot to share with you today that's just right for a bridal shower, or girly birthday celebration.  This idea was designed and photographed by Lou of Whimsical Wonderland Weddings, and has some cute crafty details that are sure to inspire you!

Lou combined an eclectic mix of fabric patterns to create a table runner and napkins.  Sweet felt "puffy hearts" were sewn with a simple stitch and are a focal point throughout the display.  A variety of ribbons are used to tie around chairs, silverware, and centerpiece vases {recycled cans that have been painted}.

One of the most adorable features on the table is the place holders, made by sewing a monogram on a small piece of felt fabric, and tied around a painted egg cup using bakers twine.  Such a great touch that adds handmade charm to any occasion!

The dessert table does not disappoint as it utilizes a dresser and fashions a drawer into a flower "vase."  A banner hangs above, made of scrap fabric and bakers twine.  Doilies and more felt hearts are scattered across the table, and a mini bunting tops the cake. 

Not only are the colors and flowers in this design gorgeous, but these are all ideas you can re-create for your own charming party!  Thanks Lou!

Fiesta Style Bridal Shower

How fitting is this bridal shower feature with cinco de mayo being tomorrow?  This pretty and colorful shower photographed by Diana Lupu Photography has some great decorative touches.  How about that whimsical yarn backdrop behind the cake table?!   

The centerpieces are kept simple by using jars and cans to hold bright blooms.  A mexican banner-print runner spans the length of the table while another streamer-like banner hangs above the party space. The most gorgeous vintage-style sofa is backed by an ombre shower curtain for fun photos.  This bridal shower looks like such fun, and is another example of how you can bring in a theme without being overly kitschy.

I have no other vendor credits for this party, however here are some links to help you create this look:

Spring Bridal Shower Shoot

This beautiful Spring Bridal Shower shoot was created by Sarah of Events by Sarah Elizabeth, for a vendors design challenge on Brenda's Wedding Blog.  The instructions were to create a Bridal Shower tabletop and dessert table using the color scheme of bubblegum pink, mint green, and robin's egg blue.  I think you'll agree this is a stunning inspiration piece!

Not only would this make a great bridal shower, but this would be terrific for a Mother's Day brunch as well.  One of the most unique ideas here is the "create your own fruit kabobs" area.  What a fun new twist on a classic concept!

You can see all of the fabulous inspiration from this challenge, including a design by our friend Sandra Downie, on Brenda's Wedding Blog.  Great ideas to incorporate for Easter too!

Ideas For A Ladies Luncheon {With Weddingish}

I definitely have Spring fever after putting together this Ladies Luncheon design featuring "fashionista" sugar cookies from Weddingish.  This would be perfect for a Bridal Shower, Birthday, or just-for-fun for the girls who love shopping and fashion. 

I decided to put together boxed lunches using pretty storage boxes that can also double as favors along with the cookies.  I love to combine form with function when I can. 

Each place is set with a ribbon tied box, bottled water, and napkins inserted into a bangle bracelet - another favor option!  Inside the box guests will find a wrapped sandwich, chips, and fruit displayed in a pretty way.  We also have the bagged cookies here which can be taken home for later, because we have an array available on our dessert table below.

You don't need an extravagant dessert display at every event.  This table features our themed cookies, available in shoes, purses, and dresses, and a couple of other treats round out the look.  We used hat boxes for a creative display in keeping with our theme, some flowers, and a fun art print.

You can be inspired by any item.  These cookies from Weddingish proved to be a great starting point for our design, and a delicious menu item as well!  Visit their site for more party items!
