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! 

The devil is in the details. Or as we like to say, the design is in the details. What makes a special event so special are the small little touches that really make the event a memorable one. Here we showcase some of our special touches that we have done on some of our crafty tables such as Alice in Wonderlandia, Barnyard Chic & Where does your Eco Garden Grow?

Throw a soiree flourished with bright and soft flowers and surround yourself with bridesmaids wearing handmade silk vintage ruffle bridesmaids dress mixed with structured sheath floral-print silk dresses. Here are some ideas to incorporate:

1. Give your female guests favors of assorted lip balms with fun names like ‘pink cake’ and ‘blueberry muffin’ that have gorgeous illustrations wrapped around them and delectable, mouth watering scents! 

2. Serve chilled lemonade on doilies hand printed with silhouettes of butterflies, grasshoppers and trails of ants

3. Provide a variety of Marie Antoinette inspired cakes dripping with jewelry, pearls, birds and butterflies.

4. Set up small lawn tables with wicker chairs draped with wreaths of roses and topped with floral arrangements set in funky hand painted porcelain vases accented by vintage brass flatware.

5. Set additional flowers in terracotta pots, vintage tea tins and rustic bird baths.

6. Walk down the aisle in bright pink suede ankle boots tied with a satin bow and later change into metallic gold flats!

Fuse the styles of french baroque and country-garden with gaudy accents. Mix-and- match styles, eras and colors galore!

We get quite a few amazing links a week and it is always fun to see the different ways that our events inspire other bloggers and party planners. Look at the gorgeous way Weekend Host fuzed our Bubbles, Baubles, & Breasts Charity Event with a fashion editorial from ‘Australian Country Style’.  Wouldn’t a courtside wedding or bridal shower just be fabulous?!
