Carol's Baby Shower

Carol had twins in August 2013 and she wanted a coral and teal colored baby shower at her mother in laws in June.  We had thrown around the idea of catering but in the end we went with ordering some items from a restaurant as well some homemade items.

Some paper pinwheels

Some chocolate birds for robin's eggs cupcake toppers she didnt end up using


 signage
 fruit cups for fruit salad from oranges

 flowers from trader joes
it was a lot of work and super tiring.


































Caroline and Warren's Wedding Decorations

My cousin and her boyfriend of 10+ years from high school got married christmas 2013 in Hong Kong.  She sent me this mood board and asked me to make tassel garlands for the weather balloons (like geronimo balloons).
   
Tassel garland in the making.







Shipping the disassembled garland was no small feat itself.  I went to fedex and they wanted to charge me an arm and leg so i went to UPS at more than half the cost.  It arrived fast and in one piece!



 When we arrived in hong kong we got to assembling them.  But we soon realized even this was best done on site.





Most of the tassels ended up being used for other decoration besides the balloons.  The tassels can really weigh down the balloons and we were not totally prepared for that.  We improvised and the outcome was not too bad.  She had another banquet a few days later and we reused the tassels that night as well.
