Owls and Birds Party

 

A little Flashback post to a Launch Party that I never posted...(sorry about the photography)

This little space I created, certainly inspired by so many other creative blogs, to share my ideas and to inspire others with what I plan and style for special occasions. In Flight became my motivation to start my own business and In Flight Celebrations was registered locally in Knoxville in April 2011. Launching officially with an Owls and Birds inspired Launch Party in November 2011. Well I got busy. I lost and recaptured my images of that party and then got busy again but finally I want to share it with you of that fun Launch Party... so here it goes!

 

 

I celebrated with local vendors and family and friends and decorated  the room in owls and birds as is our theme at In Flight.  Refreshments were served and bags were offered for guests to place their goodies on.
 

The entrance outside the room had a rustic ambience for sign up. Wild birds food was presented in little bags for guests to take with them to feed the birds at home.

 

A second entrance table was set up and decorated with painted glass hurricane vases holding
candles in our party colors; pink, yellow and coral. Complimented with a burlap bunting that coordinates graciously with my logo. Bags were offered for guests to place their goodies on.

 

Four different tables each hosted a unique theme.
An Owl Inspired Table in yellow mustard color with rustic centerpieces and lots
of pumpkins and owls.

 

A Lovely Bird Inspired Table with white and pink birds as centerpieces and a romantic feel to the table with light and pink colors.

 

A Wood and Natural Inspired Table with wooden vases and twine wrap candles was

also inspired by birds and it incorporated kraft, twine and lace as well on the favors.

The fourth table, a Yellow and Tan Inspired Table with orange roses and golden votives.  In this last table the flower vases used as centerpieces were simple paper bags decorated with lace.

Different tables were set out for desserts.
 

 A candy table in colors pink, yellow and coral. The table was simply decorated with a handmade garland made of painted doilies.

 A Cake and Cupcake Table inspired in owls and birds while the coordinating colors remain the same as the candy table....pink, yellow and coral.  Plain white picture frames were set up to allow the desserts to represent the table's colors and feel.

 

 

A long desserts table included a variety of decorated cookies in different shapes

and colors polka dots cookies, bird cages and our logo were offered. Vanilla Cake in a Jar and Chocolate Cupcakes in a jar were wrapped on beautiful fabric and multicolor yarn. A delicious apple crumb pie and of course, milk!

The decoration is set up not only by the beauty of the desserts but also owls vases and candles and a beautiful birds plate. The flowers here were presented on simple cans.

I wanted to share this with you still because the ideas are still very much amazing for any owl and bird themed parties. The one thing I LOVED the most on this event was the way each table had it's own theme within the greater scheme.  Cakes in a jar never get old, cute cupcakes are always in and owls on a cake will always be one of my favorites.  Lights and feathers are a great addition to any party and celebration like this.

Vintage Valentine Blush {Sending you my love...}

Our Valentine's Inpiration...

.....enjoy!

I like that feel when you walk into an Antique Shop and there's so much to see and everything is a nice delight to the eyes.

In this inspiration styled table I wanted to bring in colors together which I defined as blush.

 Blush by not only the rosy color but the blushing, sudden look in a woman's face and modesty as she is being complimented.  I based the theme in "Sending you my love",sending you my love with love letters, via phone, via presents that express those romantic feelings, and lastly via desserts....to win anyone's heart!  For texture I used different elements from burlap, lace, satin ribbons, kraft papers, doilies and more.  The mirrored table idea is to bring up the ribbon background from any angle as well as elegance. 

The table is created for two....with his and hers seating!

 There is three main points I wanted to come across with on this table.  The seating, the dessert area and the presents area.

I love the designs that Piggy Bank Parties created for me with an elegant printable collection that includes straws flags, food labels and papers which I used to wrap the presents.

  Dainty Delights Inc. creates beautiful art on these cookies, perfect romantic and vintage style.  The lace inspired chocolate covered oreos by Sweet Temptations are beautiful and I added Martha Stewarts Crafts lace inspired circles as a doily to present them.  Love & Sugar Kisses brought my idea to life in fondant with the love letters, antique phones and even the precious doily hearts! I like the sentiment written on the purple heart cakes' flags by Go Against The Grain...."Life is Sweet", indeed! Crochet coaters by Henna's Boutique are a really nice addition to the mason jars for his and hers drinks. When I wanted to create a HIS and HERS place seating with something other than a written card, the idea of using this lovely letter block cookies by Ollie Tollys seem fit to the occasion. Aged postcards by Sunshine and Ravioli are one of my favorite items on the tablebecause of the birds and sayings.  The gifts are also decorated with a small bird couple, porcelain figurines from Suite One Studio.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Variation:  I love the idea of the variation on a styled photo shoot!  The variation here was created for kids, changing the his and hers seating into a table for 4 kids. Changing the seating to paper products but it still remains elegant.  The kids cups and favor boxes which have peeps marshmallows inside from Polka Dot Market are so precious with the lace design and flowers.  I like the rectangular shape of these plates from Shop Sweet Lulu to fit the right amount of goodies. Chocolate flavor straws were used for the kids cups.
