Real Party: Woodland Fairy Birthday!

My next winning party feature goes to this gorgeous

Woodland Fairy Birthday Party

Such a beautiful Party!

I HEART the edible toadstools! {Gwynn is putting up a tutorial on her site on how to make them soon.}

Gwynn said, “I used the invitation as the jumping off point for all the other elements that were incorporated into in the tablescape…And I do mean “tablescape”. For this party, I mulled over the word “tablescape” a lot. I wanted the table to feel like a landscape. Like a forest floor. Like the birch forest we were using for inspiration.”

And the best part…most of these party goods and more can be purchased in Gwynn’s shop here!

Amazing job, Gwynn.

Thanks for your submission.

Congrats on being the winning party feature of the day!

Gwynn knew that she wouldn’t have any of the sparkling yellow sunbeams to highlight her table. So as a substitute, she created a forsythia tree (tutorial here!) to add a bright, golden cheeriness to the “landscape”.

LumberJack & Jill Couples Shower!

This weekend’s winning feature goes to this

LumberJack & Jill Couples Shower

submitted byfrilly milly events.

{Photography by ICG Photography.}

What a cool theme!

Because it was a couples shower, Trish wanted it to not only be feminine and dainty, but have a strong masculine presence as well. In order to do that she incorporated plaids and wildflower prints, manly bbq foods {burgers, baked beans, corn on the cob, etc.} in small packages {sliders, tiny baked bean pots, etc.}.

She had their engagement photographer take profile shots of the couple using a few old frames from Goodwill which she turned into silhouettes.

Great job, Trish!

Thanks for your submission! Congrats on being the winning feature!
