{Tell us about the occasion for the event?} My daughter, Nora’s, second birthday party.
{What inspired your event location and theme?} We went back and forth on a couple of different themes for Nora’s birthday party. It was a toss up between doing a cowgirl/horse theme or her favorite show, Peppa Pig. At the time, we were getting ready to move across the country, and it dawned on me that I needed to take advantage of having horses at my finger tips, since my mother in law has horses that Nora adores.
{What inspired your color scheme/flowers?} I like things to be simple and not over the top. I wanted her party to be a rustic/modern but girly take on a cowgirl party.
{What’s your favorite event detail? Is there a story behind it?} It is so hard to pick just one. I LOVE the way the boards with her name spelled out in rope turned out. Also, the boot cookies from Campell’s Bakery were exactly what I had imagined!
{What was your favorite part of the event planning process?} I get EVERYONE involved with the birthday parties. I come up with most of the ideas, but I am not the best at executing them. This is where my family comes into play. They are the perfectionists, not me. My mother is the anchor to all of our birthday parties with always doing the flowers and making the delicious and beautiful cakes. She also made the adorable stick horses, felt horseshoes, and painted the horse backdrop piece. She pretty much made it all happen. My sister, Molly, helps with ideas and executing them. My brother in law, Lou, designs the invitations. My husband became a pro at a hot glue gun by the end of it. My favorite part is being able to spend that time with each other, having the ideas and seeing it all come together perfectly.
{What was your favorite moment of the event day?} Since this was her second birthday, it was fun to see her understand what was going on this year. That we were celebrating her and all of her “people” were in the same room at the same time.
