Using the bride-to-be’s love of Tuscany, Lina of A Stunning Affair brought together a dream celebration based on this lovely locale. With her intricate planning and gorgeous photos from Christine Haws Photography, this party was certain to be a memorable experience for all who attended.

The venue set was outdoors on a bright sunny day, creating a lighthearted atmosphere for the guests. Each bit of decor was vibrant with color, giving the yard a natural and fun look. Yellow was the main theme color, being integrated into all of the decor beautifully. The yard even had a lemon tree, giving a natural effect that went brilliantly with the Tuscany theme.

The tables for the guests to sit at were set up in long rectangles, bringing everyone together in a cozy family style.  Umbrellas were placed down the line to provide a sweet look and a bit of shade. Each individual place setting had an adorable sunflower with a tag, dividing up teams for a fun party event.  Using a neutral tone for the table cover, the bright yellow color of the flowers stood out dramatically. The chairs had a nice neutral tone as well. Centerpieces used for the guest tables were fantastic floral arrangements with lemons for added effect.

Food was served on pizza stones, giving an authentic Italian vibe and peach Bellinis was the beverage of choice.  With tasty red velvet cupcakes featuring cream cheese frosting, this gathering had a bit of everything you could want.

Some cute activities included at this sweet party included a trivia quiz to see who knew the bride-to-be the best, it was printed and placed on a neat yellow frame. And no party would be complete without a little Jeopardy! From the decor to the games, this event was sure to be enjoyed.

It is always wonderful when the weather cooperates and parties can be thrown outdoors in the bright sun. This lovely shower celebrating a sweet bride-to-be used yellow to represent her cheery disposition, outdoors where the light could create a natural brightness to the entire venue.  With exquisite photography by Katee Grace, each moment was captured with brilliant clarity.

An adorable “Here Comes the Bride” welcome sign was placed out front with handwriting on a chalkboard so all of the guests would know they were at the right spot.

Out in the yard the table was set up family style, ensuring a warm and cozy atmosphere. Taking advantage of a fantastic tree overhanging the yard, cute little paper bells were hung on bright yellow crimped strings, filling the area with theme-based art.

The table cover had a sweet yellow polka dots and white poms that made a wonderful base for the bright yellow and white daisies that ran along the length of the whole thing. They were set in glasses and slim vases to give a neat effect. The chairs matched the look with a classic white color. Each place setting had a napkin that was tied off with little daisy decorations.

Delicious foods were offered like fresh fruit salad, so the guests could all enjoy a little something. Each item had a personalized tag to add to the theme while letting everyone know what there was to try.  Each bit of venue was decorated to match the yellow theme perfectly.

One adorable decoration that was definitely one-of-a-kind were little yellow birds made of metal. They had a vintage-style with little daisy eyes that looked fantastic. To finish them off, each had a daisy placed on top. Theses were set with the beverages, giving a bold yellow touch to the look.

Using the whimsical fun of the classic Alice in Wonderland, hosts Susan and Dawn created a magical experience for their best friend’s daughter’s celebration. Chrystal Cienfuegos Photography captured this event in exquisite detailing. A favorite section of the tale brings Alice to a mad tea party, which was used for this wonderful theme.  With a blend of fabulous colors and all sorts of eclectic decor, this party was certain to be a blast!

The innovation with the decorations was outstanding. A sign was made with arrows pointing in all directions with fun little words and each was painted in different colors with fun pictures of flowers and butterflies to add a soft touch.  The bold display of colors everywhere really made this event one of a kind.  Each bit of decor had it’s own unique look, giving a fantastic imaginative effect.

One guest table was covered with a deep purple cloth, so the white tea set stood out marvelously along with the bright napkins and flowers.  A fun centerpiece with flowers stood in the center very tall so the guests could still easily see each other when sitting.  It was decorated with fun little dangling strands for a neat look. All sorts of chairs were used, giving that eccentric look that we all associate with the Mad hatter’s tea party.  And no Alice adventure would be complete without an assortment of clocks around!.  

Other fun details included beverages tagged with little notes saying “Drink” in vintage style fonts and food with tags saying “Eat” to match. Giant colorful poms hung from the ceiling to fill the room with the vibrant tones. For a delicious treat a two-layer cake was made and decorated to match the tea party theme splendidly. It had red diamonds around the bottom layer and a neat little handle and steam decoration on the top layer.
