Delightful….that’s how I’d have to describe this charming wedding designed byAmorology and photographed by Hugh Forte.

Wedding Parties

I love all the fabulous parties that are associated with weddings: engagement, bridal, bachelorette, the rehearsal dinner, and of course the actual wedding reception.  Today I have two beautiful rehearsal dinners to share with you, much nicer than the usual rehearsal dinner at El Torito (or was that just me?)

I love the color palette of this first rehearsal dinner captured by Aaron Delesie, found at Style Me Pretty.

Even better, Abbyhas created a fun freebie based on these napkin wraps that captures the essence of this lovely party. Download here.

Imprintables does it again

While I was over at Imprintables yesterday finishing up my post on their Bumble Bee Birthday party, I came across another great party.  In fact they have lost of great party ideas, and affordable invites & gift tags to go with every theme. I especially love the sail away set, what a cute party.

 

Peter Pan Party

Have you seen this one yet?  I love this non-traditional take on a character party.  Merrilee’s little shindig has everything– great grown-up design, and lots of kiddie fun.  Just check out these awesome party invites.

and let me call your attention to these hand-painted clothespin Wendys and Peter Pans, aren’t they adorable.

I love that all the kids dressed up as their favorite character.

Real Parties: Lion 1st Birthday

 

Joanna from Lotus Haus threw this fun, stylish Lion 1st Birthday Party for her godson…what a sweet godmother.  She started off by designing these cute invites and sent them out via Pingg.

Joanna got a lot of these fun items for great prices at Ikea, like this adorable little table set and stool. (I love Ikea)

 

Party goers brought well-wishes for the wishing tree, and had their picture taken “in the jungle”. Then, all the guests went home with animal cookies packaged with these cute labels that match the invitation perfectly.

Parties we missed: Lobster Boil Birthday

 I can’t believe we missed this fun party by Alison, of Alison Events, featured over at Snippet & Ink. Just check out these details.

 

I especially love that they just threw the food right onto the table.  For more details and pics click here and here.

A little baby shower inspiration

This wedding board from Snippet & Ink would also work perfectly (except for the wedding dresses and chapel) for a baby shower.

Vote for Caramel Apples

Thanks to everyone for participating in our caramel apple poll.  Our election themed fundraiser this weekend was extremely successful.  All together we sold 250 apples, which far exceeded our expectations.  Here are a couple of photos of our finished product.
