Rustic inspired party ideas!

So those new to the Frosted Family... I am getting married next year! (yippee!) ... our theme is fall/nature/rustic inspired, so until we get married, I will be showcasing some of our ideas from our inspiration file in hopes that you can find a way to incorporate into your next event!

I so want to figure out a way to incorporate this idea! You could use them for table setting, buffet listing, bday girl's favorite things, etc - get creative! Best part, wipe of the writing afterwards and use it for something else! Source

Moss covered risers are perfect for a nature, fairy, woodland or dirt bike/atv/camping themed party! Keep an eye out, you might just see these soon ;o)  Source

 I love the idea of draping fabric (even burlap! can look elegant!) on rented chairs to add a bit of interest and texture - don't hesitate to do for even those dusty folding chairs I know we all have in the garage! Look for fabric clearance and you can do for not much money at all! Use pinking shears and you can even skip the sewing ;o)  Source unknown

 I am SO in love with this sign! Just on a side of a piece of wood, but can you say fantastic?!? Source

Tree/Nature Inspired (con't)

In case you are reading this in reader - you might not notice I spent a day off working on a new layout - hope ya'll like it! And I have been trying to post a recap of posts under "types of frosting" to make it easier to search on themes - I am far from done, so keep checking back! Thanks for all the blog love and support!

For those of you just now joining in all the Frosting Fun, I am getting married next year! WOOHOO! We want to have a nature theme (but not overly woodsy) wedding.  I have been sharing ideas on the blog because I think they could be used for other events, as well, not just weddings - lord knows there are enough wedding blogs out there!

I LOVE, LOVE this idea! This would be fantastic for any family focused event really - reunions, anniversaries, baby showers... whatever! Just do up a bare tree and have your guests thumb stamp and write their name creating a "leaf".  How sweet would this be to look back and remember who was there to spend that special day?  Think outside the tree, too, and think of other shapes that you could "finish off" by doing a thumb print to match your theme!

Another guest "book" idea would be to have everyone sign a slice of wood. Source unknown :o(

Use slices of wood to paint table numbers on them - how economical AND green! Source








Use wood or wooden boxes as stands for desserts, appetizers, drinks, etc... don't stop there! Look around the house, you probably have TONS of things you could use unconventionally to create display stands - just put on your creative glasses and go peek around! Source

These are beautiful, wooden leaves - they would look so pretty on a buffet table or to help you create a woodland theme! Source

Here's a trick you can use at any event! Just use a craft punch, stencil or something in the right shape - lay it on your dessert and sprinkle with powered sugar - carefully lift up and va-la! Instant design and no real skill needed!Source unknown :o(

Frosted!!!

So my man is more impatient than even I! We just picked up my ring yesterday.... and he proposed last night! With all these diamonds, I definitely feel FROSTED!  Couldn't figure out how to capture the sparkle with the camera, so these are my best pics... and no comments on needing a manicure! lol!
