No time to hibernate when you can throw a glamorous Winter Wonderland In New England Party like this one! With One Fine Day’s styling, the gorgeous elements at this shoot could make a memorable occasion for many.

This gathering took place on a beautiful private property in Connecticut in January, taking advantage of the lovely snowy landscape.  All of the details laid out at this shoot were chosen to help encourage others to throw a wonderful winter land party with their own family and friends.

Elements used were ones that are simple to find around your house or yard, making it possible to create a similar atmosphere at your own party. This is a theme where DIY can give you an edge, for example, using a door as a table set on tree stumps.  This look offers a rustic charm that any outdoorsman can love. To give the tables a unique centerpiece, wine bottles can be utilized to hold white taper candles.  Tin plates offer a neat look along with brightly colored napkins tied in twine.

Any outdoor winter party can use a snuggle up bench with large blankets and an adorable wooden sign. Of course, to make it a truly classic get together, hot chocolate is a must-have.  In mason jar mugs, hot chocolate is easy to hold and adorable to look at. For a venue with a lake of frozen beauty, a ladder can make a cute ice skate holder.

Baskets to hold goodies offer a neat way to get your food, and of course winter favorites are sure to keep the guests coming up for seconds.  Caramel apples, fresh fruit, cheese and crackers and subs are all easy foods to prep and taste delicious! A sprig of greenery on white frosting along with a fresh fruit topping can make a cake a perfect celebratory treat too!

Anyone with a love for the sea life could enjoy this lovely Nautical Anchors Aweigh Birthday extravaganza. With the styling and concept design from Styled By Belle, this party had a modern look that really popped.

Red, white and blue helped give this venue a classic look with bold patterns expertly incorporated throughout the look. The dessert table was a fantastic display of snacks and decor.  It had a massive backdrop with blue and white stripes the set the tone for the party smoothly.  On each side of the backdrop, adorable oars were leaned against the wall with red and white chevron patterns on the ends. A wonderful personalized sign was in the center with cute anchor art and a golden frame.

The table was covered with a long black cloth, allowing the blue and white life preserver on the front to stand out brightly.  A fishing net was draped over the tablecloth at an angle, creating a cool effect.

Each of the treats was placed with precision, ensuring that everything was easy to see and grab. At the front, sugar cookies and macarons were set on flat white trays, drawing attention with their sweet detailing. Each snack had a personalized label that matched the theme.

At the back of the table a large white box was setup to display large jars chock-full of delightful candies for everyone to enjoy.  Each was wrapped with a rope of red, white and blue.  To the sides of the candy, tiered trays of delicious cupcakes stood tall.  The front and center of the table was reserved for the scrumptious looking cake.  Three layers of sea worthy decor topped with the most adorable little boat was certain to capture attention.

The guest seating was outside, each place had a cute bottle with a straw to drink from and colorful place settings to enjoy using.

A fantastic backdrop was created with a blue, cloudy sky featuring a brilliant, yellow sun and the birthday boy’s name in bold blue lettering. Three cute bears stood in front of the blue sky adding an adorable touch to the look.  A small table was used to hold all of the goodies available. In massive lettering across the front, “Zayn,” was spelled out in bright colors.  The table was covered in white, so the rainbow tones of the treats stood out perfectly.  A long tray was filled with colorful macarons right at the front of the table.  To each side, toys were used to decorate in fun fashion.

Going prehistoric, Impressions put together this Dinosaur Wonderland Party! From ceiling to floor, this venue was a dinosaur lover’s dream come true with bright colors and exciting decor.  

The dessert table was perfection with a painted backdrop of volcanoes and other natural details. Each side had a tree that added depth to the look and overhead greenery was draped to give a jurassic vibe.  On the ground a dinosaur carpet was used to bring the theme to life. A fantastic vintage, wooden table was used to hold the tasty treats. As a filler, a wonderful arrangement of greenery with little red and yellow leaves was set as a front centerpiece to the table.  Throughout the area adorable dinosaur decorations were spread included a fun, cracked egg with a little guy inside. A tree stump hed the number 9 and a bright green dinosaur friend.

The snacks made were all designed to blend with the theme in a cute way. Sugar cookies frosted with dinosaurs were sure to have the kids enjoying the party.  Cupcakes frosted in delicious chocolate had adorable dinosaur labels. A favorite treat created was cake baubles that were shaped like eggs and marbled with bright colors, making them dinosaur looking.  The cake was a layered wonder in prehistoric detailing that stood out beautifully.

To make the party area unique, stumps were arranged to hold other food items like mini-sandwiches, which were painted to match the room perfectly.  Set against a green backdrop, they made a lovely addition to the party.  The backdrop even had a massive white dinosaur skeleton that spelled out, “Happy Birthday.”

The little guest tables were very sweet with dinosaur table covers and place settings that went along with this cute theme.  There were even little orange dinosaurs to add to the decor.
