Pumpkin Patch Birthday Party

Happy Wednesday!

Today I’ve got a fun party idea board to share with you. I originally envisioned a fall birthday party for kids, but I think a lot of these elements would be great at a school carnival or neighborhood block party. Between the cute pumpkin cupcakes to the pumpkin bowl games, kids could have a lot of fun just running around and enjoying the beautiful weather outside! If you wanted to take this event to the next level, I’ve shared this post with tons of ideas for hosting a pumpkin decorating party. Here’s what I was thinking:

Comic Book Party Ideas

Posted in Childrens Party, Color Palette, Party Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

So it turns out tomorrow, September 25^th, is National Comic Book Day! Who knew? I didn’t know they had this holiday, but apparently it’s been around for a while. Did you know it was an official day?

I thought I would put together an inspiration board to help get your creative juices flowing if you were throwing a little get together to celebrate. This could also be a helpful resource if you were having a super hero party, a hero party, a villains party….or really a lot of kid party ideas. Here’s what I’m thinking:

Elegant Paper Crane Wedding Ideas

Posted in Color Palette, Wedding Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

Welcome back!

Today’s inspiration channels classic wedding elements with a modern and elegant touch. I was inspired by the “1000 paper crane” traditions, and loved reading about them on Pinterest. As I was reading about it, I thought it would be such a fun theme for a summer wedding.

I see this wedding being outside, with paper cranes hanging everywhere- so when the breeze rolls in you see them flying in the wind. A neutral color palette is ideal, especially if in a lush green lawn. The bright crisp whites and nudes will really pop against the natural surroundings. Here’s what I had in mind:

Do you think that this neutral color scheme is a good fit? Or do you think this theme would work better with a more colorful color set?

Outdoor Summer Wedding in Shades of Purple

Posted in Color Palette, Wedding Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

If I see another “rustic burlap” wedding tutorial I may just give up going on Pinterest.

Hahaha, that’s a lie. I’m addicted to Pinterest. I can never give that up.

But in all seriousness, the “rustic burlap” wedding trend bores me. I don’t respond positively to brown (or tan, if that’s what it is) mesh-y material just to get that country vibe.

When I think country, I think fresh produce, beautiful wild flowers, good food, and comfortable with curtains blowing in the breeze. And I think that country can be done well. Beautifully even. It could look delicate and put together, and not look hodgepodge and craft time gone wrong. That’s the inspiration for this week’s wedding idea board. A simply beautiful country wedding.

Here’s what I had for this breezy outdoor wedding:

Confetti Themed Gender Reveal Baby Shower

Posted in Baby Shower Ideas, Party Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

Welcome back!

Today I’ve got a fun gender reveal party theme to share with you! It’s based around confetti. I’m a huge fan of confetti because it is so versatile. It could be made in any size, shape, color or finish. It can also be used in celebrations year round. It doesn’t take a lot of prep, and isn’t expensive either.

I love the idea of having a confetti themed gender reveal party. The confetti does more than just say celebration at this party; it helps annouce the good news with friends and family!

Here’s what I had in mind:

Green + Cream – Summer Bridal Shower

Posted in Bridal Shower Inspiration, Color Palette by uniquepasticheevents

Picture this:

It’s a warm, sunny Saturday. Late in the morning, and the sun is still out and shinning bright. You’re headed to a bridal shower for one of your girlfriends. She’s feminine but not into the super girly red and pink flowers galore. She’s sophisticated and fresh at the same time. She loves mixing old with new.

You arrive, and the décor her maid of honor has put together is perfect for her. Light gold accents, with fresh crisp green, and touches of soft cream set the tone. Cute tea sandwiches are all laid out, with yummy peach pastries and chilled champagne nearby. Little arrangements of cream roses are spread throughout the room. The sun is shining in through big open windows.

Here’s what I had in mind:

Green + Cream – Summer Bridal Shower

Hot Pink + Gold Ladies Luncheon

Posted in Color Palette, Party Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

Planning a summer luncheon for you and a group of ladies? Maybe you are part of an organization that hosts annual meetings over lunch. Spruce up your next luncheon with this fabulous color scheme: pink and gold!

And how cool would this floral infused hot pink and gold color scheme be paired up with a fundraiser for a local charity? I invasion this color palette at a women’s organization annual meeting, that has lunch and a fashion show. There are several trendy area boutiques and designers that attend and showcase their wares in the fashion show. Hot pink flowers adorn the stage, and of course each of the tables.

Here’s what I had in mind:

Glow in the Dark Kids Birthday Party Ideas

Posted in Birthday Party, Childrens Party, Color Palette, Party Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

Is it hot out where you are? It’s getting hot here! Warm summer nights are really heating up around here, especially as our daytime temperatures are reaching triple digits. Those high heat numbers during the day can be somewhat of a deterrent for outdoor kid’s parties. It’s hot, you’re sweating, it’s hard to stay hydrated and keep up your energy levels.

So why not throw an overnight kids birthday party with a glow in the dark theme? Grab a few black lights and tidy up your backyard, and get ready for a good time! There are lots of great ideas out there. Here’s what I had in mind:

Colorful Paper Based Wedding

Posted in Alternative Themed Wedding Ideas, Color Palette, Wedding Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

I’m beginning to think I may be addicted to Pinterest.

Ok, I’m lying: I AM addicted to Pinterest.

There is just so much amazing inspiration on there; I doubt I’ll ever be able to see it all! If you enjoy pinning party and wedding inspiration as much as I do, you should come follow my boards.

This week’s wedding inspiration board was put into motion by this colorful paper based wedding arch I spotted on Pinterest. I love the use of untraditional materials and themes in weddings, don’t you?

Paper is one of those elements that can be super cheap to use, but unbelievably sensitive and time consuming to make look picture perfect.

That being said, it is SO easy to incorporate any color combination you want for a wedding or party. This week: I took on more of a colorful palette then I’d normally go with. I think it works, what do you think?
