White wonderland is not only for the winter. For this 1-year old birthday party we named it “1 Upon a Time..” and glammed up the event for everyone to enjoy! From the kids coloring on our custom-designed woodland tablecloth, to the parents sipping cocktails while sitting at the whimsical table of aqua blues and gold, every guest enjoyed the decor. We fused vintage fairytale storybooks with imaginary woodland animals. Fairytales are not soley for children! Stay tuned for parts II and III of this magical affair including the DIY instructions!!

All the amazing photographs were taken by the extraordinarily talented Justin Lee!

Pink lemonade, Cadillacs and cotton candy…  Bubble gum and ballet slippers… We are inspired by pink today, especially the gorgeous Nutcracker ballet dresses below. They would make the most enchanting bridesmaid dresses! Pink frosting mixed with pink peonies and gorgeous glassware the shades of the sunset. Yummy!

Dress the part! This custom made ivory tutu skirt by Etsy seller AllieJDesigns would perfectly compliment the ‘Swan Lake’ or ‘The Nutcracker’ ballet wedding feel. This creation would be just as spectacular for the wedding party to wear in any palette from ivory to sensational shades of pink.

Winter Woodland Wonderland…. Inspired one of our favorite designers Tord Boontje who transports us to magical woodland fairy tales with his famous art, we decided to create a magical winter wonderland in June. Who says soirees need to be seasonal? We transported guests to a make believe mystical setting with a stunning palette of white, ivory, gold and aqua. We incorporated vintage animal ceramics, vases and even a few of Tord Boontje’s garlands. Here is a sneak peek… the photos and DIY’s are coming soon!
