Cars Party Inspiration Board

Ideas are in the works!!  My husband's planning on making up a racetrack!

Cars Birthday Invite

Asa has been planning his birthday party for months, literally.  Now we're finally getting close!  He's hooked on Cars and decided that's what he wanted when Safeway displayed a fantastic Cars cake.
My little buddy's been giving me all the details over and over, "My friends will come over, we'll play upstairs, eat Cars cake and chocolate milk, or something okay??!"  So that's what we're doing!
His ideal guest list includes his cousins in Seattle (in case they're reading this......).
He helped me design his invites today. (I didn't want it to be an exact picture of Lightning McQueen so this is what we came up with!)  

Blog Under Construction

Sorry for the lack of posts! I'm currently working on getting everything switched over to a new site which will be at kathrynchurch.com. It's coming along, slowly, but I'm hoping to get the finished thing up soon!

Thanks for your patience!

Oscar Party Inspiration

Twig and Thistle always comes up with such fun looking Oscar parties!  I've been waiting for an excuse to build an oreo cake so perhaps this will be the year?!  We haven't seen most of the movies, but we enjoy watching the awards!  And oscar bingo is pretty fun!

How About Orange offers a free download!

Twig and Thistle's party from two years ago.

Happy Valentine's Day

I'm afraid I didn't take a single picture of the Valentine's flowers - it was just too crazy!  But this ombre cake is really fun!  I wouldn't mind a large slice (the other cakes featured looked just as good so you should head over and take a look!!).

Palouse Mall Bridal Fair

This past weekend we participated in our first bridal fair! I chose to feature yellow and grey since the mall doesn't have great lighting. The bridal bouquet above has: callas, cremones, billy balls, succulents, queen anne's lace, dusty miller, tulips, and lisianthus.

I found an old ladder at a thrift store and painted it yellow to showcase the potted succulents. Mike whipped up the "ranch inspired" backdrop to hang the window and more pictures from.

The back of the bouquet was lined with pearl headed pins and a small picture frame at the top. A couple cute kiddos even stopped by for a visit! :) Thanks Naphtali and Rachel for your help!

Baby Boy Mustache Shower

My friend, Laura, and I threw an evening baby shower for her sister-in-law, Paige's new baby boy!  We opted to focus on coffee since it was after dinner and most ladies don't want to eat too much anyway.  We created a coffee bar with baileys, hershey's specialty creamers, kahlua, whipped cream vodka, etc..

Laura made mustache stir sticks out of felt.  And we incorporated mustaches everywhere else!

Professional Shots: Ashley and Tyler

Ashley and Tyler got married in early December. Ashley went with purples and greens which hi-lighted the winter element nicely without being specifically "Christmas." Her bouquet featured succulents, green hydrangea, picasso callas, ranunculus, seeded euc, stock, lisianthus, queen anne's lace, and cream hypericum. I used ornamental kales and cabbages on stage.

(Thanks to Chris Walker for the pictures!)

I love succulents for boutonnieres! They hold up really well (as do callas) and add a lot of texture.

Professional Shots: Rachel and Joe

I just got these photos from Rachel and Joe's late summer wedding. They're perfect right now when there's tons of snow outside! Rachel is a fantastic graphic designer (Orange Peal Design) and she loves orange! She had a very clear vision of what she wanted and it was tons of fun to design for her.

Chris Walker took all of these wonderful pictures.

Isn't her dress splendid!? It's a Vera Wang for David's Bridal.

Her cake was made by her mom and it is one of my all time favorites!

Valentine's Printables

I'm a sucker for Valentine's Day. All that pink and red is so cheerful when it's still pretty dreary outside. Love vs. Design has this free Valentine's Printable.  They also have a free "Be My Bridesmaid" printable.  That'd be a fun Valentine to pass out!

Business Cards

Thanks to Vicky I have some business cards coming! She's also working up a new blog design that I'm very excited about.  It should be up and running soon!
