Time for Tea!
When I read about Ava's Tea Party after finding the link via Pen N Paper Flowers, I knew it would be the perfect event to help launch CupKate's Event Design. A meaningful, happy day to celebrate the little spirits that we love so dearly. Using the artwork from the Ava's Tea Party website and many of the fabulous details from Pen N Paper Flowers' "Sunshine and Lemonade" party as my inspiration, below is my take on a beautiful tea at the park. You'll see many of my favorite personal touches including the Tutu Bench, cupcakes tied with ribbon, homemade chocolate tea cup, saucer and spoon as a party favor, personalized straw flags made with ribbon to remind everyone to drink with their "pinkies out", and best of all, the adorable children who celebrated with us. I hope you enjoy looking into our day as much as we enjoyed celebrating it!

Gorgeous!! LOVE the cupcake stand/topiary :)
ReplyDeleteThis is just "tealightful"! You did such a beautiful job, and I love all the sweet touches you designed with the cupcakes, teapots, and cups and saucers. I especially love the "cupcake bouquet" in the teapot!! Looks like all the guests had such fun! Truly a beautiful presentation...and, of course, it speaks to my heart since I am a "tea lover" and believe we can always find a need for a tea "partea"! :)

LOVE this...I'm so glad you sent me the link and shared this with me! You did a beautiful job. I love that you did the little mustache for the little guy - he's adorable too. That wrought-iron chair was perfect and loved the whimsical touches throughout the party!! I'm especially thrilled that you took time to participate in Ava's Tea Party. You really made it such a special day! I plan to share with my readers if you don't mind??!!

AAAADORABLE!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to know how you made the teacup "pedestools", the chocolate teacup favors, pinkies out ribbon and where can I find the pink frame on a pedestool also (the tea sign)? Sorry SO SO many questions, BUT you did a FABULOUS job : )
This is just gorgeous! How did you do the "tutu" on the picnic table bench?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comments!! I'm so excited to see positive feedback! Nichcole, I'll do a post on Monday (Hopefully! I'm very busy working on a special project...) about how I made some of the things you see. In fact, everything you see here was homemade, including the lollipops! I'll include links and directions soon. In the meantime, I purchased the pink fram at HomeGoods. : )

ReplyDeleteDivine...can you please please tell me where you got your drink dispenser or does anyone else know where in Australia I can get one?

Janina, I bought the drink dispenser at Marshall's. Which is a division of HomeGoods... I would imagine something similar is available in Australia, but I'm not exactly sure how you would find it. I love it though, so I hope you can come across one too!
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much Kate, it means a lot to us that you went to this effort with Ava's Tea Party in mind. Everything looks just magical :)
ReplyDeleteThank you again!
