Stephanie of Spaceships and Laserbeams sent me yet another fabulous soiree that I am excited to share with you. Yesterday was all about pink, girly details and we have exactly the opposite today. One thing in common is they are both super fab.Stephanie planned this party for her 35th birthday and had 39 of her closest friends and family celebrate with her.
Details as told by Stephanie:To keep things manageable (I work long hours outside our home in addition to having a busy toddler), we decided to have a desserts only event from 2:30 to 4:30 on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Naturally, I wanted to use decor from our Etsy shop and decided upon our Cowboy Cool Collection. I couldn't have been happier with the results. We had a parents lounge area, a dessert table, kids table and a huge open space where the kids could play.
For decor, I hung a pennant around the room. I filled mason jars with an assortment of all white flowers and was careful to arrange them so that they looked handpicked and unfussy. Some of the mason jars were spray painted white for a more modern country feel. On the dessert table itself, I purchased a bunch of horses from the dollar store and sprayed them white. This also helped reinforce the modern country feel and also made a items that didn't match seem cohesive.
Here's a rundown on some the desserts:- Fondant cake: The Cake Box, the flavor was called "The Elvis" and it was banana cake with peanut butter icing
- Second cake: Goodness Bake Shop, the flavor was orange basil and it was awesome!
- Cupcakes: (with horse cupcake wrappers) Peanut butter chocolate, caramel chocolate, and cookies n cream from The Cake Box
- Coconut vanilla cake pops and sugar cookies also from The Cake Box
- Brownies and cream cheese and strawberry parfaits
- Popcorn and chocolate covered pretzels
