customer love – a gorgeous baby shower for twins!

November 10, 2014 Elizabeth Smillie

A few months back I was contacted by a woman who was throwing a baby shower for her friend who was having twins {a boy and a girl!}. She wanted the colors to be gender neutral {but not boring}, and our Navy, Mint, Coral, Cream and Gold Confetti Garland caught her eye. She loved the colors, and had a few ideas of other things to add to round out the decor she had in mind. But first Andrea had one important request – the decorations had to be in Texas by the following Saturday. Wow-ee! I was in love with the idea, though, and we made it happen. :) Andrea wanted a bunch of paper pinwheels in a variety of sizes, and in colors to coordinate with the garland. I had been wanting to make some for a while {have you seen the pins of some of the lovely pinwheels floating around Pinterest? Soooo gorgeous!} and was delighted to have a good excuse to learn how! Everything got made up quickly and shipped in time to arrive with a day or two to spare {I love FedEx!!!!}. Afterward the tea party, Andrea sent me these photos of how everything came together: She threw a gorgeous affair, didn’t she? The baby shower had a tea party theme, and the food she served looks amazing.

I love how Andrea used the garland as a front drape for the buffet table – it added such a classic, elegant feel to the party!She requested some custom cupcake toppers in mint and coral, and once they arrived she paired them with these lovely navy blue cupcake wrappers for a clean and elegant look. {if you’d like to achieve a similar look for an event, we have since added cupcake wrappers to our shop!}

Andrea, the party was absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for allowing to share in the joy of the occasion us by sharing the photos, and blessings to the new mama and babies!

Just so you know, pretty much all of the garlands, toppers, etc. in my shop can be made in any range of custom colors: Imagine the possibilities – they’re almost endless! These started out as our classic heart chair backers, and the customer requested that they be made in the same color scheme as our Confetti Circles garlands. The resulting hybrid is gorgeous! Or at least, I thought it was :)

customer love – wedding edition

November 1, 2013 Elizabeth Smillie

I love it when a potential customer contacts me with her vision and colors – and then tells me the things she’s thinking of ordering are for her upcoming wedding(!). The process of working together to ensure that the shades of paper are just “right”, the back-and-forth about how quantities, sizes, timelines … it’s almost like planning my own wedding, but without the stress. :) Madeline’s wedding colors were turquoise and coral, and I was able to make turquoise heart cupcake toppers for her (which I’ve since added to the shop!) as well as some chair garlands in her colors.

Madeline had a very specific vision for her wedding, and I was thrilled to work with her to make sure that it came into being {and was perfect!}. By the way, isn’t she just the most lovely bride? If you’d like to get to know her better, she has an amazing blog called Style Me Thrifty, where she shares fashion tips and finds – all with an eye toward those of us on smaller budgets!

Madeline, you were a delight to work with, and I am so thrilled to see how your gorgeous wedding came together!
