{Greek Key Feature} Rainbow Art Themed Birthday

May 10, 2013 Leave a Comment

Planning my kids’ parties and significant events are always the highlights of my year. Yet, seeing time fly by is so bittersweet:) I was so happy to be able to capture some of the best parts of this fabulous, sunny day celebrating the birthdays of my two boys (ages 1 and 3 but ONLY a day apart…people can’t even plan that if they tried). They are blessed with so many friends/family memebers and I wanted to be sure that we accomodated all the different ages of the guests. Something for everyone! Hope you enjoy viewing some of the details of this special day…

SOME UNIQUE DETAILS:

Art-themed cake with elaborate details

Greek key cookies showcased on mini art easels

Personalized smock t-shirts

Body/Tattoo Art

Themed Quotes/Signage

We designed and created the invitation, posters, banners, and coordinating labels and favor stickers. The rainbow tissue garland, mini balloon backdrop, and personalized t-shirts were new do-it-yourself projects, as well.

Rainbow Brigadeiros

I made sure to order six different flavors of delectable cupcakes from Little Sweet Cakes. Shown above are caramel french toast. They should not be allowed to bake and sell something so delicious! Did I mention that Little Sweet Cakes is our cupcake baker??!! You might just have to be sure to order cupcakes for the next dessert table we design for you!

Each child received a personalized t-shirt smock and a blank white canvas to finger paint with.

One of the birthday boys is VERY particuliar about his style of painting and paid close attention to the detail of his artwork. Tongue out and all…

Snazzy Jazzy Faces did a remarkable job of customizing body art/tattoos and face paintings according to each child’s wish. We had sports logos, Disney characters, and pretty glitter images.

This artwork is a keeper;)

(Above and Below) These are the two boys that have my head spinning day-to-day, my home full of happy mayhem, and my heart filled with joy! LOVE them too much for words!

“All You Need is Love”…and a little bit of CANDY!

October 19, 2012 Leave a Comment

Fall-themed weddings include warm tones, gold embellishments, autumn leaves, and chocolate. Throw in “The Beatles” and you have just described a recent wedding candy table that we created.

With so many themed elements to include, we made sure all “Beatles” details were subtle.

The S’More pops were a must for this fall wedding, so we added tiny tags.

A Prepster’s Christening {Candy Table Highlight}

September 22, 2012 2 Comments

CW distinctive DESIGNS specializes in dessert tables and candy buffets, but it is a great pleasure when we get to cross over to overall event designer. I marvel over some details that event planners/designers pull off, and definitely have an overwhelming appreciation for every detail that they think of and carry through on. I realize some people won’t ever notice the coordinating patterns on the paper items, or the placement of the favor box, or even the complimentary fabric used throughout a venue, but I do…AND I LOVE it!!

I always create an inspiration board for my events for various reasons. 1. It helps the client to step into my mind and understand my vision. 2. It helps to keep all vendors that I use or bring in to be on the same page. 3. (Most importantly) It helps me coordinate all of the fabric, ribbons, embellishments, treats, paper, etc that I am using.

My vision for this Christening was classy country club, so it was perfect that we were set up in the sunroom of the venue. The whites were crisper and the colors were more vibrant. I love patterns; for that reason, I used polka dots because it was a baby event, the chevron because it shouts, “Modern!” and focused on argyle to highlight my ”prepster” vision.

{Bridal Shower} Heavenly Dessert Table

September 14, 2012 Leave a Comment

When Lindsay, from Cakes-By-Me, contacted me to setup a candy table for her dear friend’s bridal shower, I knew it was going to be alongside her delectable dessert spread. Yet, I never knew this event would turn into a sweet treat haven. Another fun sweet treat dessert table collaboration between CW distinctive DESIGNS and Cakes-By-Me.

I quickly got started on the paper goods (labels, menus, cupcake toppers, signs, etc) because it needed to be cohesive and capture the shimmery, clean essence she envisioned with white, silver and muted pink. Check back in on our ETSY SHOP for these party printables; they should be ready for purchase soon. Quatrefoil is everywhere on the wedding scene, and I am obsessed! Inevitably, this was going to be the basis to all of my printables created.

White Chinese take-out containers were used to store all of the guests’ goodies, and additional bags were readily available for the “overflow” of edible treats.

Desserts included mik shake shooters, cupcakes, chocolate dipped Rice Krispie Treats, ombre cakes, banana split bites, cake pops, champagne popsicles, chocolate covered Oreos, a wide variety of candy favorites, and even more… Check out our facebook page for even more highlights from the candy table that day.

Although the desserts caught much of the crowds’ attention, the home-cooked food did not go unnoticed. The guests had a large array of dip options to choose from, sweet and sour kielbasa (close to this Polish girl’s heart), pulled pork sliders, cheese and antipasto kabobs, etc.

Lindsay and her friends created place settings with silver chargers, and wine glasses in order to create some elegance. Moreover, beautiful greenery and large flower pots were brought in to encircle the tented area.

{European-Inspired} Sweet Treat Dessert Table

August 29, 2012 Leave a Comment

Last year, my family vacationed in Portugal and Spain to visit extended family and take pleasure in the culture. Thus this European-Inspired Sweet Treat Dessert Table was motivated by our enjoyment of the delectable desserts we savored and the simple, yet stylish atmosphere we experienced. The special event was a dual baptism for my son and neice, for whom I am honored to be a Godmother for. The neutral color scheme consisted of gold, champagne and white hues; it coordinated well with the venue’s warm yellow tones. And we love the venue: La Fontana’s Restaurant

I come from a family of “foodies,” thus the focal point of the room became the dessert table. Some European-inspired desserts included our family’s favorites: Pasteis de Nata, a Portuguese crème pastry that melts in your mouth, and Mille Figlio, what the Americans know as “The Italian Napoleon.” Also included were French Macarons, Meringue cookies, and Ferrero Roche chocolates. Kid and adult favorites, such as Snickers, chocolate covered Oreos, grapefruit/pineapple gummies, chocolate caramel and pretzels rounded out the display.

Each guest was given a gold tote to take some home as an additional favor.

The beverage table included Grandma’s homemade Sangria, which always proves to be a success, as well as red and white wines imported from France. We love Hand Picked Selections, Inc!

A scroll pattern and a chic cursive font were used for the labels. The flower centerpiece stayed true to the European tablescape simplicity, as they were Pellegrino and wine bottles spray painted gold and champagne showcasing white hydrangeas with baby’s breath. Champagne pintuck runners were used atop the tables.

Sugar and Spice Baby Shower {Party Printables}

June 27, 2012 2 Comments

Lately, I have been blessed with the gift of new babies. My second son was born; moreover, I became an AUNT to a precious baby girl! This was one baby shower that I took extra attention to detail as it was for my sister and her first child. Of course, the entire event was based around the delectable display of chocolate and candy located at the Sweet Treat Dessert Table created by CW distinctive DESIGNS.

Party Printables {banner, cupcake toppers, signage, invitation, and food labels} are available at My Etsy Shop.
