Sixty is Sweet Hydrangea Birthday Party

Details! details! details in the garden at this hydrangea Sixty is Sweet birthday party for Jane of The Garden Girls!

Here today to share the pictures of the garden and decor of the party. Jane & I had a blast planning, shopping, crafting, sharing and styling her party!  We hope you are able to get inspired with what was created,  as Darcy Miller shared with me when I asked how many details are too many? Her answer "there are never to many details, it is about the process".......I think Jane had fun with the process most especially in her gorgeous gardens!  I'll have to get her to share more pictures of the gardens around her home, she has created a peaceful and relaxing place.

You're Invited!!  The invitation that I designed for the party ~ 

it will be in my shop soon:  Styled Prints Design Loft 

The back garden styled perfectly for a relaxing gathering place during the party! 

Ball jars filled with dainty hydrangea arrangements made by Jane...

Paper lanterns and star strung to off of a garden hook

Sweet zinna & hydrangea arrangements created by Jane

Close up of the ball jar, Jane's tip: gather your flowers and place the stems in a water tube to keep them fresh before placing them in your ball jars, keeps them together & easy for displaying the jars.  

The deck is styled & set for all the guests!!

Absolutely beautiful centerpieces created Jane!

Did you notice the flamingo on the invitation that I created for the party?  Here she is adorned with a sweet ball jar of flowers!  Placido Flamigo is the flamingo's name, she certainly makes a statement in the gardens that for sure! 

It was a hot & humid August day here in Chestnut Hill, we were prepared with fans perfect for a garden party from Beau Coup! Here is the link for the fans there are so many colors to chose from! 

Party guest giving them a sweet breeze! 

Jane accessorized all the lantern with stands of paper hydrangeas that she created!  

I just love adding little details to party decor.  

The punch in the Martha Stewart Crafts hydrangea punch, you can find it at Michaels Stores.

Party Kits on Opensky.com by Darcy Miller

Today you HAVE-TO click over to see something fun & exciting for the party world on Opensky.com.  Especially if you are a Mom who loves to be creative and clever when hosting a themed party but desires one stop shopping for everything you need to pull your party together!

Today on Opensky.com, the one & only Darcy Miller of Martha Stewart Weddings has curated a fun and bright Daisy party that is a must see!  I had the opportunity to speak with Darcy about this collection and party, she gave me tips and advice to share with you for hosting this or any party.

I will say the conversation was such an honor and in the end it was sweet to realize so many similar things her and I do as Mom's for our 3 girls to make birthdays and celebrations special.  One of the questions that I asked Darcy was how many details are too many details?  If you see in the photos and inspiration boards there are so many details. First, they are very easy to execute most especially if you purchase the Daisy party starter kits, and everything else is on opensky.com and you have yourself a Daisy Party just like the one Darcy hosted for her daughter Daisy!

Darcy answered the question of how many details are too many and simply the answer is "you do what fits", it is all about the process of getting the party together, whether it be your kids punching out or cutting printables to your bridesmaids deciding what to have and what to get for your shower!   Here with opensky.com launch of a party put together by Darcy Miller it isn't a question of searching around the internet of what details and products to style your party, it is all at one place put together by the best of the best when it comes to celebrations!

Here are a few pictures of the Daisy party!  Click here for more.  Check back later today for more details of my conversation with Darcy about entertaining and up-cycling ideas for your party products.

Peace, Love & Daisy parties!
