Mad Scientist

We have finally decided on our Halloween costumes for this year, we will be a family of Mad Scientists.  And I'm creating a dessert table to go with our costumes.  I was in need of some inspiration and I came across this electrifying mad scientist party.  I'm so in love with everything about this dessert table from the hanging chains, the high voltage signage, and the electronic tester.  Everything about this party screams Frankenstein's Lab.  It's the perfect backdrop for a Halloween party or in this case, a little one's birthday party!



Gotham City Dinner Party

A dinner party after my own heart!  I am obsessed with this going Gotham City dinner party.  I love the beautifully executed Gotham City skyline, and the fact that the 'costumes' are provided for you!   With gorgeous gold accents and cutlery, lux linens, and bat silhouettes in the form of stir sticks, it's equal parts sophisticated and Halloween-ish!  More from Cassandra, (the creative genius behind this party): To create that gritty city look, we layered hard metals on a linen with plenty of texture, and added gold flatware to pop. The patterns on the china and napkin mimic the glowing windows of city lights – a nice touch to compliment the centerpieces.

Spooky Dessert table

An all hallows eve party that invokes the ambiance of this season's American Horror Story: Coven.  With its foreboding dessert table, voodoo inspired drink bar and candy table.  It's almost too eerie to partake until you feast your eyes and taste buds on their delicious treats!

Wicked Witches Tea Party

How fantastic is this grown up spooky tea party.  Based on Macbeth's Act 4, "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes", you can see the wording repeated in the decor and favors of this wicked tea party.  With a cream, white, and black color palette, the haunting crows and clocks really pop in the decor.  Loralee did a phenomenal job pulling the event together!



Pick Your Poison Halloween Beverage Bar

Every adult friendly Halloween party needs an excellent beverage bar.  I'm loving the macabre pick your poison drink bar.  With it's shades of black, spooky skulls, and re-purposed wine bottles as lighting, it sets the stage for a frightfully good time.  With drinks like black widow's punch, you never know where the night could lead. 

Fashion Show Themed Baby Shower, Part 2

When we were brainstorming for this fashion show/brand launch themed shower we knew there were certain elements we wanted to capture, so that guests felt as though they were at an exclusive event.  We transformed our friend's loft into a pink boutique oasis.  Complete with a backdrop and runway featuring the "brand" logo, goodie bags lining each side of the runway, and a designer chair for the guest of honor.  We transformed the fireplace into a baby boutique with pink, black, and white clothes hung with glittered clothes pins.  And framed "Vogue" magazine covers featuring our gorgeous mommy-to-be and the "brand" to create a feature wall.  We had guests take polaroids with the guest of honor that they then added to the guest book/ brand look book and left a message for the mommy-to-be.   The look book was completed with sketches of baby clothes, fabric and color swatches, and handwritten design ideas.  And as requested by the mommy-to-be the books that guest brought were featured on another table.  We also had stations where guests designed a page of a fashion themed alphabet book, so that the new babe could learn her fashion ABC's, as well as a design your own headband station.  In addition to the usual baby shower games, guests played the celebrity fashion version of  "The Price is Right", and the wining team took home pink nail polish.  And each guest went home with a reusable pink shopping tote, which fit the theme perfectly.  As a finishing touch we created event staff lanyards for all the ladies that were hosting the shower with an extra special one for the mommy-to-be, and encouraged guests to Instagram/Tweet using the hash tags we created.  It was such a fun afternoon, with everything coming together perfectly, all for a very special mommy-to-be!
