Party Ideas by poppies & posies and Jen Huang

March 15th. 2010 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 34 comments

Okay, so this isn’t exactly a wedding. But it was so stinking adorable, I just couldn’t help myself. It was sent to us by Jen Huang, who is an incredible photographer and behind some of SMP’s most popular weddings (click here and click here for total goodness), and seems to me to be the PERFECT inspiration for an engagement party, a shower, a cute rehearsal dinner or even a sweet, casual wedding! Love, love, love. To see all of the inspiration, click here!

This isn’t a wedding, but rather a little cocktail party put on by Poppies & Posies and Merci New York, and photographed by myself – Jen! I loved the little details and I think they can really be inspiring to brides looking for a whimsical DIY touch to their wedding! Some key details: guests were asked to write their names on chalkboard name tags, there was DIY toast & DIY cupcakes as well as a wine tasting by Swirl Eventss. All the poppies were by Poppies and Posies, in giant mason jars. Favors were colorful lollipops. Everyone was asked to put their business card in a tea tin so that you could take a tin of cards away with you as you left.

    Oh. My. Gosh. I am so telling the next bride-to-be in my social circle to consider having a DIY cupcake bar alongside her wedding cake... at least for the kids? (And for moi.) A cookie decoration bar could work at a very family-friendly wedding with lots of kids in attendance, too. Think gingerbread, maybe for a wintertime wedding?

    I love the DIY cupcake bar, I also love the galvanized three-tier serving tower from PB. I've had my eye on that since last summer. : )

  22. Dennis says:

    What a great idea! I'm thinking about throwing a simple DIY party and was at a loss for ideas. And guess what, I even have the same exact typewriter. Oh, and the three-tier serving tower - love it and I saw a DIY version on one of the blogs I follow.

  23. Great post can you recommend any forums to join?

  24. Joanne says:

    The cupcake bar is brilliant. And the old style black board lends a vintage feel to the spread. It works well with the mason jars too. Dreamy and fun!
