tea party ~ spark style
























what:

i was invited to help decorate a tea party for all 56 young women.

it was so much fun seeing the girls again, although i didn't get around to talk to all of them. i miss those girls!!


mood:

it was a fun night full of friends, visiting, homemade lemonade, bite sized delights, and low light to set the mood.


decor:

each table was set differently. we used white table cloths and then had a pop of color in the middle with different colored toppers. the ladies had tea pots for each table, and a tea cup and saucer for each girl. it was so cute. (thanks for the silver platters, mom!)


centerpieces:

i use these 4x6 photo stands for EVERYTHING. since i only have 4, my wonderful mother in law lent me her 4 as well. thanks connie!! each held 2 quotes~ so there is no 'back' to this centerpiece. i borrowed the darling lollies cherie made for an event she helped decorate. the perk, i lent her my linens and things for her party (the same linens i would use for this) so i knew they would match. score. and thanks cherie!


signage:

this couldn't have been any more fun!! i had monday morning to figure out signage. as i'm checking e-mail, my sister sends me the file she had created for the SPARK signs!! add this to the SPARK kit i got while attending spark, and i had the whole thing figured out. all her signs run vertical, so i just used the SPARK kit to make some (really quick) horizontal quotes that went with the theme. they all came from this talk. sent them to costco, and voila. (except i had a beef with the color they came out, but that's another story. wish i was close to persnickety's. i love their color!!!) the best part, both kits are for sale now!! i'm so happy. i was drooling over the SPARK signs the whole time, wishing i could use every. single. sign. what a party. i love it,rhonna! thx.




***since the lighting is rough in the church, oak cabinets fill a wall, oak doors fill another, and the chairs are burgundy, i followed suit and set up a small sampling outside my house. all in the name of trying to get a good photo.
