A Whimsical & Elegant Styled Shoot: Creating Magic

Step into a world where enchantment and elegance intertwine, where colors dance, and the magic is flowing. This October, we found a place of magic at Second Space in Brea, California. The setting was whimsical and delightful, and the atmosphere was nothing short of pure wonder.

It was a styled shoot like no other, where creativity knew no bounds, thanks to Theresa Lee Events! She did an amazing job. We had the honor of contributing our own touch of charm to this party. We did moon and star stir sticks, 'hey boo' cake toppers, ghost stir sticks, ghost name tags, and the 'make your own magic' signage, each adding a sprinkle of our signature whimsy to the party.

Every photo from the shoot was an absolute masterpiece. The talented photographer, Sunny Kim Photography, managed to capture every detail, from the vibrant balloon garlands to the elegant lasercut details, perfectly. The result was a collection of photos that truly showcased the playful atmosphere of the styled shoot.

The mesmerizing multi-arch backdrop, provided by Iron Grace Rentals, was an absolute showstopper. It was a canvas for the theme of the day - "Make Your Own Magic." We added lasercut signage that perfectly captured the essence of the event. The backdrop always becomes the heart of the celebration. This backdrop nailed it.

The balloon garland added a fun and colorful touch to the backdrop. Its playful mix of light pink, ombre purple, black, white, cream, and light orange perfectly complemented the whole vibe of the styled shoot, making the whole setup feel even more enchanting. Simply Wild Party did a beautiful job with it!

The cake and other desserts from M Cake Sweets was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece – a deliciously ironic blend of elegance and spooky. Adorned with black skeleton hands and crowned with our cheeky "hey boo" cake topper, it was a delightful confection that mirrored the shoot's playful sophistication. M Cake Sweets truly brought the cake, and the chuckles, to the table.

The place settings were a delightful sight to behold, graced with the charming color palette of light pink, black, ombre purple, white, cream, and a touch of light orange. In this styled shoot, every detail was meticulously crafted to create an enchanting atmosphere. To complete the look, we added our moon and ghost stir sticks, which effortlessly blended into the theme.

The tables and chair rentals from Mini Mod Rentals added a touch of modern sophistication. The black Mid Century Modern chairs perfectly complemented the sleek white tables, creating an effortlessly stylish contrast. Our white and black lasercut ghost place cards attached to the back of each chair, were a charming addition, adding a playful element to each place setting.

In the world of styled shoots, our gathering at Second Space in Brea, California, truly shone as a unique experience. With pastels, ombre purples, and a touch of sass, we painted a picture that blended sophistication and playfulness. Thanks to our fantastic vendor team and the crew at Delovely Details, we are reminded of the boundless creativity and endless possibilities in the event industry. Until next time, let's keep creating magic together!

You've Been Boo(zed) Bottle Tags

Who says Halloween is just for kids these days? Halloween has changed vastly over the last century. From being a night about kids and pranks - to an almost 9 billion dollar industry, Halloween is for just about everyone it seems.

My particular generation (geriatric millennials as the media likes to call us) really grew up with the dawn of what Halloween is today. Class parties, costume parades, family friendly decorations, it all sort of began in a retail sort of way in the 80s.

So, since we are burdened with the name geriatric millennials, I think we deserve a treat this Halloween.

So don’t forget to Boo(ze) up your adult friends this year!

I made it easy for you by offering these free printable tags that you can attach to your favorite bottle of wine, hard cider, or an even stronger potion.
