Pure White DIY Party With A Hint Of Pink: Balloons, Doilies & Hearts

Pure White DIY Party With A Hint Of Pink: Balloons, Doilies & Hearts

July 14, 2011 | Decor & Details, DIY, INSPIRATION, Photo Shoots, PLANNING

This handmade, pure white, DIY engagement party is going to knock your {preferably white} socks off!

So much thought, care and attention to detail was put into this utterly gorgeous event but I wouldn’t expect anything less from the multi-talented Natalie Spencer!

Natalie is a couture cake maker turned photographer, a crafty DIYer and I think you’ll agree after seeing these photos of this engagement party she organised with her friend Katie, an incredible event stylist too!

Natalie’s thoughts on the shoot:

When Katie and I found out that our best friend Alex would be getting engaged soon we started planning the engagement party. Katie and I love all things wedding and pretty…We had a vision of white and of course, a bit of pink, feminine and soft. We wanted desserts and drinks and a fun little celebration for our Alex.

This was a 100% DIY party! We made all of the white desserts, piped each ‘love’ cookie and macaron, made the doily banners, felt heart straws, and invitations. My mom helped with arranging the perfect pink peonies, and other arrangements in my favourite milk glasses.

And here’s the beautiful bride to be, Alex, getting some practice in of holding a bouquet.

Wow! Alex is lucky to have such fabulous friends!

These DIY details could easily be adapted for weddings ~ those felt heart stripy straws are the cutest and that Doily cake topper ~ such a simple yet effective idea. I love it!

Which DIY details did you like best?

Thanks so much to Natalie of Natalie Spencer Photography for sharing these beautiful images today ~ check out her previous features on Bridal Musings here {cookies and cakes} and here {vintage winter wonderland inspiration shoot}.

This was lovely! The white with sprinkles of pink made it very chic. And the sweets, OMG (I have a serious sweet tooth)!

Nat….you are still my number one muse! I marvel at all your talents. It’s because of you that I quit my job, stopped being miserable and started living my passion. I know I tell you this often…but why wouldn’t I? What’s the use in keeping that information to myself?
