Wedding Wednesday: Picnic on a Boat . . .

So maybe you are wondering how to celebrate the engagement of a low-key couple who isn't into a big hoopla of an affair?  Sure, fancy cocktail parties and elegant dinners might be just the thing for some folks...but what if you are looking for something a bit more intimate and casual; you know, the kind of perfectly relaxed evening where you kick back with friends, feet in the grass and laughing, rather than squeezing your toes into your most glamorous high heels.

I am just loving the laid back romance of this 'Picnic on a Boat' Inspiration Shoot, brought to us by 100 Layer Cake  and designed & photographed  by The Simplifiers and she-n-he, this would make the loveliest celebration for a birthday party or an anniversary too, don't you think?

Who needs to haul a table along?  Just flip your boat around and you are all set!

Ahhh, floating lanterns.  It really doesn't get much more romantic than that . . .

So simple & sweet, right?  An unforgettable way to create a special celebration and just about perfect for all of the warm weather that lies ahead!!

A Petite French Bebe Shower Soirée...C'est Magnifique!

Ooh La La, this French inspired baby shower is truly fantastique!!  The invitations, the favors, the menu, the decor.  Original, vintage-inspired...well it just has that Je ne sais quoi!

When Jackie Wonders discovered she was about to have her second baby girl, the lovely ladies over at Posh Paperie  wanted to throw her a small & intimate shower, but something very different than the “normal” baby girl shower (pink!).  So, they chose a French themed “pique nique” and played with the palette of red, indigo blue, cream & burlap.  Behold...

A banner honoring the new baby girl on the way, Wren, was made of silver glitter chipboard letters . . .

The desserts?   Bite-sized cream puffs, eclairs, fruit tarts, fresh fruit with mint garnish, & shortbread cookies). 

The perfect game for this fabulous little shower ~ match the french (baby) word to the english.  I just love this stunning party & hope you enjoyed it as much as I have...

Creamsicle Orange & Aqua Birthday....

Racking your brain for a 'theme' for your next birthday party, shower, or celebration and just can't seem to find one that works for you?  Well, maybe you're just not that type of girl.  So why not get carried away and let yourself be inspired by color?  

I am absolutely in love with this Creamsicle Orange & Aqua Birthday Party...simple & elegant with just a touch of fun!  The warm orange and cool aqua tones just complement each other perfectly and it is beautiful down to every last detail...

Handmade lollipops...

Cake boxes to take home with you...

And you just knew there simply had to be orange soda...

The adorable favors...

And my word, have you ever seen so many cakes?  Well, I do suppose one can never have too many cakes...
