Our tea party inspired week continues, and you are cordially invited to two Mad Tea Parties hosted by…. A Fanciful Twist

The photos look like they belong in the pages of a storybook and the delightful day had a plethora of details! Guests made their way down a path lined with bunny soldiers and placed ‘wish’ tickets into a box before entering the ‘maddest place on earth’! They were then greeted by the Mad Hatter and tables filled with delightful sweets and treats and surrounded by toadstools and faeries. Vanessa from A Fanciful Twist did everything from the design and decor to snapping all of the photographs! 

You are invited to another Tea Party by  Apparently Jessy and A Fanciful Twist…

We were so smitten and enthralled with the images from these tea parties, that we simply had to find out more about Vanessa from A Fanciful Twist. We asked her to tell a little bit about her design process and inspiration for these purely delightful events. 

“I have been throwing little parties and holding events since I was a teenager, and I find that my process is always the same. I don’t plan way ahead of time, I let the inspiration hit me like a brick when it chooses to visit, and then I jump into it.”

“In 2008 I held my first Mad Tea Party on a whim. I needed some excitement in the boring summer heat, so I thought up said event and invited anyone who read my blog to hold their own event and share photos. Before you knew it, 300 people were having Mad Tea Parties and sharing scrumptious images. The same thing happened in 2009.”

“Truth be told, I like to stay busy and I feel that in the summer, the creative vibe starts to slip. Fall, Spring and Winter are so exciting for full time artists (such as myself), but I was finding Summer to be lacking that creative spark. The Mad Tea Party completely filled that void.”

“I own a whole lot of junk, I mean ‘treasures’. So decorating for these such events is always quite easy. I also try to not go out and buy things. For example, my mom had bolts of tulle that I was able to use to decorate my gazebo for the Mad Tea Party. Everything else used were items I have in my home.”

” I think that mostly working with what you have on hand lets your imagination get involved and makes for amore creative spread. Usually things just unravel for me, an dI go with the flow. Of course, planning for a Mad Tea Party means ‘wacky wonderful’ so it is easy to let yourself go crazy decorating for such and event…”

“I decorated for the Mad Tea Party in one afternoon, and I had my guests over the next day. It was a wonderful time!” -Vanessa 

You must see ALL of the incredible photos on A Fanciful Twists blog. 

You are now cordially invited by Itty Bitty Birdy to even two more Tea Parties! Get “all dolled up” for the first one! 

We hope you are still thirsty, because you are invited to one more party by Itty Bitty Birdy! For this one, please be sure to bring a friend! Preferably a fuzzy, stuffed friend!
