~Whimsical Garden Party Decorations & Craft~

I wanted to share with you some more photos of the decorations for the 

Whimsical Garden Party

 for my friend, Mary.

I made some flower garlands to hang outside on our chandelier.

I found the flowers at the Dollar Store and glued two together to a piece of ribbon.

I tied crystal grapes to the ends to weigh them down.

They looked so pretty.

This is a photo of the girls in our garden.

Linda, Yuri, Mary, Tami, Me and Virginia.

Mary's hat I found at a local thrift store.

It had just the right touches for the theme.

I added colored butterflies and baby's breath to the outside.

I also made a tulle skirt with hot glued flowers

 to match the garden theme.

I displayed it on my mannequin.

Yuri made origami cranes to hang on the chandelier in the kitchen.

They were just perfect.

I loved the colored paper she used.

Over the fireplace I had white butterflies and white lights.

Crowns and baby's breath.

A display of whimsical desserts.

Paper bird garland lit up the lights in the bathroom.

I love Trader Joe's.

 I found these beautiful purple and white gladiolus. 

I bought bunches of fresh lavender and

and wrapped them in purple tissue for the girls.

I have been drying flowers from the garden to make potpourri.

I added a rose scent to it.

I stamped white bags with a garden girl.

Everyone got to take some potpourri home in the bags.

Since it was a garden theme, I ordered some edible butterflies.

Fancy Flours has so many wonderful ideas and papers.

I cut the butterflies out and used a clear gel to adhere edible glitter. 

I also ordered different shaped butterfly cookie cutters.

I used their recipe for No Fail Sugar Cookies.

I iced the cookies with white and green icing.

Different colored glitter to make them sparkle.

I love how they turned out.

Can't wait to make more.

A poem for the birthday girl.

I made some chocolate covered sprinkle spoons.

A suitcase is 

used for a magical look.

Some pom poms here and there.

Virginia planned the craft.

We made sun catchers for the garden.

It was such a fun day.

Tami makes the prettiest ice flower buckets.

Always love getting together with the girls.

Thanks Linda for taking the photo.

Our lab, Maggie, had fun too!!
