My daughter’s backyard birthday party

admin — Mon, 07 May 2012 14:56:41 +0000

And now for something completely different!

We had our first backyard birthday party for Josephine’s 6th birthday last weekend. We asked everyone to come as their favorite princess, knight, unicorn, or dragon on the invitation. Some adults totally rocked it. Meredith from Artisan Bakery made the most amazing “Unicorn wearing a dress” cake, along with a sensational “decorate your own cupcake” bar. It was a super big hit. Sarah Arguin from Sweet Tree Designs made the banner, hats, and stickers for the bubbles. I’m seriously trying to invent reasons I need to hire her again! Family Friend Jessica did the AWESOME facepainting!!!!

I took a whole bunch of pics getting ready at the beginning and then the photography petered out as the party took off. Wish there were more pics of the actual party, but it’s hard being the mom and the photographer at the same time. Sigh.

Vendor List:

Cake, Cupcake Decorating Bar and Crown/Wand Cookies – the uber fabulous Meredith fromhttp://www.artisanbakeshop.com

Banner, Birthday Hats and Stickers for the Bubbles – the talented Sarah Arguin from http://www.sweettreestudio.com/

Linen and Table Rentals: pink tablecloth and tables from http://www.chasecanopy.com/

Turquoise Tablecloths: I bought these http://www.henhouselinens.com/ linens from my favorite store in the whole world, The Ansel Gurney House http://www.anselgurney.com/ If you are in Marion ever, you must go there! They have an amazing selection and you can have lunch overlooking their amazing garden.

Come back for a great Wequasett Wedding Post coming soon!

A quick sneak peak of the beautiful wedding I shot this past Saturday night. A much bigger blog post will come later. Most notable were the 17 (!did I get that right Michelle??) nieces and nephews. I love weddings with children and this was a fabulously fun wedding to shoot.

I worked again with the wonderful florist http://patricermilley.com/. We were both featured in a real life wedding in Bliss Celebrations magazine this month which you may have seen at http://corinnaraznikov.com/feature-and-editorial-work-in-bliss-magazine-chatham-bars-inn-glen-manor/.

Kudos to the wonderful staff at the Wequasset Club http://www.wequassett.com/ They did a wonderful job for the bride and groom and all the vendors. The band was great too. I hadn’t seen them before and I was impressed. Check them out at http://www.stardustband.com/

I can’t wait to share them. Kudos to the great videographer team ofhttp://www.hdjeff.com/ and the lighting team Frost at frostproductions.biz.
