Breakfast with Audrey

We have all heard of the famous Audrey Hepburn and the even more famous movie Breakfast at Tiffany's.  There could be no better first birthday than one designed from her namesake.

A over-the-top event is a must when your mother is an amazing florist.  And that is just what this event was. Our custom Tiffany box invitation set the theme of the event before it even began. With a gorgeous base of custom linens for the dining and dessert tables from Glo Concepts.  The Tiffany blue colored satin linens lined the 30' family style dining table.  Glass chargers were topped with blush pink napkins that held our custom designed menus for each table setting.  Also, atop the napkins were custom Tiffany boxed tied up with white ribbon and of course awaiting inside were candy rings.  Each setting was reserved for a special member of Audrey's family which were held by our customized place cards.

The entire center length of the table was adorned with the opulent florals of Entwined Design.  Taken directly from the designer herself here is the description, "Clusters of White vessels lined the center of the family style table and held florals such as Peonies, White Hydrangea, Dusty Miller, Lisianthus, Ranunculus, Garden Roses, Parrot Tulips and Phalaenopsis Orchids. Two large Chandeliers were constructed out of White Hydrangea, Parrot Tulips and several stems of Phalaenopsis Orchids."

The dessert table was dazzling in sparkles.  A gorgeous silver sequined linen held place for some beautiful and tasty sweets.  The Tiffany cake box with cherry filling was created by a family friend along with with the color coordinated and sparkling cake pops.  Marble cupcakes topped with pink frosting and tiny pearls rounded out the sweets. Beautiful florals flanked the table that was backed with a silver backdrop with hand crafted tissue flowers.  We also crafted a special designed banner that fit perfectly with the events theme.  The beautiful photos below were taken by the very talented Casey from AmandaBevington.com.

EIBL Boutique

Some of you may know that we have opened a shop up on Etsy.  There was such a huge demand for our paper goods from multiple events last summer (we were seriously getting tons of people contacting us asking to make items from the events the saw on several blogs). 

Currently there are only a few items listed here in our shop.  We will be adding more and more all the time.  However, if there is an item that peaks your interest let us know.  You can send a message through Etsy or email us at here.   We love custom orders!

Here are a few photos from a sweet one year birthday party for a cutie named Paige.

 

 

Here are some of the kind words from the hostess, "... the banner was gorgeous! I took it apart and saved it for next year I hope.  Thanks so much for the beautiful work – it was the centerpiece of the décor. "

Baby Shower: Woodland Themed

Do you remember that photo in my introduction post?  The one with the the adorable banner (not to float my own boat or anything :)  Yeah, that one, the one where I said I would show you more soon.  Well soon is now!

This Woodland themed baby shower was designed and created by the guest of honor herself, Marci Gerlach of Entwined Design.  Marci's love for flowers and her Baby-to-Be's nursery were the inspiration for the party.  Not going the over the top rustic theme Marci choose the more girly route utilizing her favorite flower ranunculus in every color imaginable. After some collaboration Marci and I had a plan and executed it to a T.

As guests entered the party they were greeted with a beautiful flower tree display to be used as a part of the guest book.  I created little owls and birds to be used as a guest book for the guests to write words of wisdom and hang on the tree.  The rectangle tables were formed into a U shape to make for a more intimate space.  Centerpieces for the tables included grape wood branches with vases of ranunculus weaved throughout.  Succulents were also placed atop the branches along with small glass birds.  Included on the square folded napkin were the cookie favors in shape of little birds and tied with handmade "Thank You" tags.

Banners were also custom made to hang over the dessert table simply stating "Sweet Treats" and along the wall announcing to everyone "It's A Girl"  A family friend created the sweet owl cake, taking creative freedom and inspiration from the invitation.  The cake was not only pretty it tasted amazing too!   Also included on the sweets table were cupcakes in white and chocolate with pink frosting with handmade owl toppers.  Lemonade and pink lemonade were served for the guests refreshment each labeled with their own handmade sign.  Mommy and Daddy to be also had their own custom chair signs.

With all the details that were going to be present Marci contacted an amazingly talented photographer, Amanda, from Amanda Bevington Modern Photography to capture it all.  Enough talk about the details, I know you all want to see the photos.  So here they are...
