For Her: Flamingo Birthday Party

Another week down and another inspiration board to share!

Today’s party idea board is completely based on this fantastic cake I found on Pinterest. It’s this fabulous gold and pink flamingo cake; take a look at it in the idea board:

For Her: Flamingo Birthday Party

I absolutely loved the idea of a refined and more sophisticated take on the flamingo party, and thought what a great theme for a summer time birthday party.

Take a look at where I found this great inspiration from:

I love the extra sparkle the hints of gold bring. Fun tassels really liven up the theme, without going full on tropical flamingo.

What is your summer time cocktail of choice? Hard lemonade? Scotch and soda? How about Sangria?

Sun in the Sky – A Bright Blue and Yellow Summer Wedding

Posted in Color Palette, Wedding Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

Don’t you just love it when inspiration comes to you when you least expect it?

I was on Pinterest the other night, pinning away fantastic ideas for future events, and came by a great board that was full of gorgeous food that was plated absolutely picture perfect.

A particular dish caught my eye – one with blues, yellow and a hint of brown.

I thought it would be such an interesting take on “wedding colors” to have food that matched your palette. So without further ado, here is what I had in mind:

Summertime Party: Blueberry and Peach Baby Shower

Posted in Baby Shower Ideas, Color Palette, Party Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

Summertime! It’s what inspired this week’s inspiration board. I was browsing Pinterest, and came by this incredible looking summertime peach and blueberry pie. It looked DEVINE!

Those are normally some of my favorite summer fruits, but it had never really occurred to me to mix the flavors, which got me thinking about the color combination of dark blue and peach….. Before you knew it, I decided that was going to be my theme for this week’s board. (I’ve also included it in the idea board below!)

These would be such fabulous colors to use at a summertime bridal or baby shower. Plus, you can do double duty on buying the produce fresh for eating, but also incorporate it into your décor. Here’s what I had in mind:

Up Themed Rainbow Wedding Ideas

Posted in Color Palette, Wedding Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

99.9% of the time, I am not a fan of rainbow anything. No rainbow ice cream, no rainbow ribbons, shirts…. Anything except of course a nice rainbow after a storm.

What’s the .01% rainbow-ness I like? Anything “Up” related. If you missed it, (and seriously, if you have, stop reading this and go watch this movie. Right now.) Up is a Pixar movie that was released a few years ago. Yes it’s animated, and yea I know, cartoons are for kids, but this movie is worth the exception. It is by far one of my most favorite movies of all time.

I’ve had the inkling lately to go watch it again, and I’m waiting for that perfect lazy summer afternoon on the weekend to take advantage of it and watch it again. But it’s been on my mind a lot lately, and it got me thinking: how fun would this be as a summer wedding theme? It’s bright, colorful, and absolutely PERFECT for the couple that wants an outdoor wedding.

Bonus points: there are lots of DIY or cost effective options out there for this theme.

Here’s what I’m thinking:

Summer Wedding Ideas in Turquoise and Silver

Posted in Color Palette, Wedding Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

When I saw this great art print by IkeStudio on Etsy, I knew it would be such a cute print to have framed and put on a wedding table, maybe near the desserts, or even near the cocktail station! It said, “Today is a perfect day to be happy”. What better quote for a wedding day is there than that?

I loved it so much I decided to use it as the main inspiration for this week’s inspiration and idea board. I’m channeling a beach or destination wedding, with bright blues and a hint of sparkle.

Green with Foliage – Summer Wedding Inspiration

Posted in Wedding Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

Why do couples get married in the summer?

Well, there are a few reasons: kids are out of school, so families can travel easier, there aren’t as many holidays, so time off isn’t as difficult to get, but from what I can tell, most people get married in the summer because it’s warm out. The weather is nice, there’s no worry of a snowstorm delaying flights and causing road closures. Short of some rain, the summer is logistically a great time to get married.

But the heat! The heat can sometimes be TOO hot. You don’t want to have your guests (or yourself!) covered in sweat before the ceremony even starts. So what to do? You could bring the lush foliage that grows in the summer, inside!

That was the inspiration for this week’s Green with Foliage idea board. Bringing lush, green plants indoors, creating a whole new world inside your standard ballroom, completely transforming it into an exotic garden.

Some key elements to what would really make this theme work:

Lots and lots of foliage. Mix and match to create texture and dimension.
Have background music playing while guests wait. Why not find a nature recording of a forest with a babbling brook?
Specialty green lighting will help amplify the effect. Use green up lighting on walls that can’t be covered otherwise.

Take a look at what I had in mind:

May the Fourth {Black and White} Star Wars Wedding – Inspiration and Ideas

Posted in Alternative Themed Wedding Ideas, Wedding Inspiration by uniquepasticheevents

Happy *ALMOST* May the Fourth!

For those of you who have NO CLUE what I’m talking about, May fourth, also known as May the Fourth, is International Star Wars Day. And if you hadn’t guessed already it’s a play on the quote “May the force be with you”.

I’m a bit of a fan girl myself, so I couldn’t let an opportunity like this pass by. I love alternative and geek weddings, so I knew I had to make one HECK of an inspiration board for this holiday.

I decided to do a play on the colors of Star Wars, the notably black, white and yellow, and turn it into a wedding for the modern fan couple. While there are lots of Star Wars details and elements involved, there are still lots of traditional elements of a wedding, like a cake, floral, etc. that have had a bit of a geeky-god-mother-twist on them.

For example, take a look at the gorgeous wedding ceremony spot I found. It completely looks like Padme Amidala could walk by any moment to head over to the lake. I love the black floral details in it, don’t you?

Let’s take a look at the inspiration in more detail:

Sweet Lamb Baby Shower {Ideas}

Posted in Baby Shower Ideas by uniquepasticheevents

Did you know I have another blog? I do! It’s my other blog that was actually my inspiration for starting THIS blog here. My original blog is The Sparkle Queen, and that’s where I started sharing my event and wedding design boards.

And you may be asking yourself, “why is she telling us this?”, and hang with me. I’m telling you because on The Sparkle Queen, I’ve have a series called “Etsy Treasury Tuesday” where I share some of beautiful items I find on Etsy in a curated treasury collection. And the other day, the theme was “Decorating a Lamb Nursery for a Baby Girl.” You can check out the post here.

I found SO MANY adorable and just flat out sweet lamb themed items; I just had to turn them into a baby shower inspiration board. I cannot remember the last time I said “Awwww” so many times in an hour!

So without further ado:

You’re Invited: Easter Peeps Birthday Party for Kids

Posted in Birthday Party, Childrens Party by uniquepasticheevents

Do you know any kids with birthdays near Easter?

I always wondered if the kids who had birthdays on or around Easter got the short end of the presents-stick, like the kids with Christmas birthdays. But then I got to thinking, the kids with birthdays on or around Easter and Halloween probably have it MADE.

Think about it. During that time, there is literally TONS of yummy candy lining every available store shelf. Those kids can have one heck of an awesome candy party!

That got me thinking about if MY birthday was near Easter, and I was a kid, what kind of party would I want to have? And I immediately thought “PEEPS PARTY”. Naturally I just had to make a party inspiration board for something that cute. Here’s what I came up with:

What Will It Bee? Baby Shower Ideas

Posted in Baby Shower Ideas by uniquepasticheevents

Buzz! Buzz!

Are you a gardener at all? I am, on a very small scale, as there is only so much I can fit on my little apartment porch. But one thing I always make keep in my little garden is a few butterfly friendly plants. Right now they are in FULL bloom and absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been spotting butterflies, bees and lots of little critters near those plants. It’s quite an active little pot!

The other day I was out watering and noticed several of those plump, round, bumble bees. They were so busy zooming here and there, I doubt they even noticed me, but they were my inspiration for this week’s event idea and inspiration board.

This baby shower was inspired by the nature loving mommy to be, that is excited about her baby, but may not be ready to reveal the gender just yet. Yellow is great for gender neutral baby showers, is bright and cheery for spring, but is also different from the normal baby blue or pinks that most baby showers lean towards.

If the mommy to be wanted to announce the gender of the baby at the party, she easily could with this theme!
Let’s take a look shall we:
