Christmas Day Care Favor

In lieu of Halloween treat, I decided to create Xmas favors for my son’s daycare Holiday party. No, I do not hate Halloween; we were traveling at that time. This is me making it up for the kids.
My husband found these plastic crayola cups on sale which it was a perfect start,   from there I added some sticker sheets, a snow man foam, candy cane, a nutri grain bar (I was trying to keep the treat toward the healthy side J ) and finished with a personalized tag.  So, here are some pictures…

MERRY EVERYTHING AND HAPPY ALWAYS!

Dila and Jeferson Wedding - Black and Red

This was my most exciting project yet… Dila and Jeferson Wedding Celebration
Dila and Jeferson got married at the city hall and wanted to have a dinner to celebrate their marriage with their closest friends and family. It was supposed to be something small, just a few friends at dinner. Well, there was nothing small about this wedding.
Dila chose the invitation and told me she wanted her colors to be Black and Red… Yes, black and red for a wedding J don’t worry; you soon will see how gorgeous these colors can be for a wedding. I got so involved with this entire project that I ended up planning and managing the production of the entire wedding. It was official, I was their wedding planner and I was thrilled.
For the favors, Dila wanted to a candle, square, and black. Oh boy... that was not easy to find, but I found them. A few days later, she tells me that she wants the candles to have something written on them. I thought to myself… what? how am I going to do that?? While telling her, no problem :) . A few days later, I found a company that creates personalized vinyl decals and I handmade all of the candles







While thinking favors, Juliana came up with the ideas of making chocolate truffles with handmade red roses on top, and here they are:



For the centerpiece, I decided to go with the submerged red rose and floating candle. I called these centerpieces “Past, Present & Future” because they match the bride’s rings ( cute personal touch)


Continuing with the red rose theme, I found these place cards & table cards











 Congratulation Dila and Jeferson!!! It was a pleasure to be part of your special day. Thank you!





Ah, we also created a video montage for them, but I havent figured out a way to share that on the blog yet. More to come soon.

Leilan's Baby Shower...

This Baby Shower was a little challenging...My friend Leilan wanted a baby shower not too "babyish", actually not "babyish" at all.  And the colors… Yellow and Green (very patriotic since she is Brazilian). The shower was held at a famous   Brazilian restaurant and we even had a Brazilian band playing Samba.
I loved it!

Soraide (Leilan's best friend) and I started working on the fabrics first. After a little research, I found these glass candle holder that hangs from the ceiling which we both felt in love with.  Here are some pictures for you to see what we made. Better pictures will be posted soon…







We placed curtains all over the place...




 I changed the background of this picture frame to yellow to match the decor...





These "yummy" sweets were made by Leilan (the mother-to-be) and were wrapped by Soraide....


This is a passion fruit mousse, very common in Brazil and very delicious!! And the little daisies were handmade by Gislaine (Sweet Garden Creations)




These cute little houses are Tea Infusers and were the favors of the party 







 I had to change the place cards a couple of times until I found this one. Then, I placed the flowers on each one....All about the details!


This box had a super cute surprise inside - A delicious chocolate truffle - I place one flower on each box...

And of course our customized Bottle of Water could not be left out of the party













A little challenging indeed, but in the end we were thrilled with the results. Most importantly Leilan was very very happy with the decoration and the party and so was everyone else.
Viva VIDDA! The little princess that will be here with us in February...
