Feathers and Arrows Birthday Adventures in the Fairy Tale Forest
WRITING AND STYLING BY ELISSA STONE WWW.ONESTONEEVENTS.COM PHOTOS BY EMMA GRACE PHOTOGRAPHY This is an example of how to have a themed party without being so literal. I wanted to style a party that was in line with current trends but with a kid twist, so I chose a boy fairytale mashup, including Peter Pan, Robin Hood and The Big Bad Wolf (represented both by Little Red Riding Hood and The ‘3’ Little Pigs.) It definitely has kid elements, but with a sophisticated style to please all ages. Since my son LOVES movies so much, I decided to add a backyard movie element to the mix. We showed Peter Pan. Since blankets were part of that spin, a picnic was the perfect way to go for the meal. Guests were greeted by a giant green balloon and rickety signs up the walkway, made by Let’s Get This Party Started. There were 4 signs, reading ‘second star’, ‘to the right’, ‘to grandmother’s house’, and ‘to Sherwood forest’, representing all 3 of the characters in the mashup. photo by www.capturedbygalina.com FESTIVITIES BY TIKKIDO.COM AND FROGPRINCEPAPERIE.COM SUMMER 2013
