{Tell us about the occasion for the event?} We wanted to celebrate sweet Charly Kate's 3rd birthday with a whimsical, woodland fairy world with everything magical and girly!
{What inspired your event location and theme?} Charly Kate's mom Katie loved the idea of a fairy party for her almost three year old! When that was decided, I immediately thought of Ardor. I had been there once for an engagement party and fell in love with the space. It's so bright and airy. The white walls were the perfect blank canvas for us!
{What inspired your color scheme/flowers?} We wanted to keep the colors very light and feminine. Adrienne Garanich of Bloom's A Garden Shop found the prettiest peachy pink carnations for the garland backdrop, so that set the tone. I added some ferns and moss to help give it that woodland fairy atmosphere.
{What’s your favorite event detail? Is there a story behind it?} My favorite detail is the hanging carnation garland. It gave such a sweet, feminine feel to the whole room! It looked magical.
{What was your favorite part of the event planning process?} Seeing it all come together is so much fun and so rewarding. And of course seeing the birthday girl light up is special!
{What was your favorite moment of the event day?} I loved watching the girls turn their bird houses into magical fairy houses. They were so creative with it and I could tell they really loved it.
{Your favorite picture from the event day?} I love the picture of the birthday girl admiring her party table.
