{Real Party} Lemonade & Sunshine

This is truly one of the most adorable parties to hit the blogosphere in a long time.

Jess at Pen n' Paper Flowers came up with a darling idea to do a combined celebration for her 2 daughters. It all started with this color palette of pink and yellows, and the creation of the invitation which can be found in her Etsy store.

From there the details are just amazing, and so creative...
...read on for some amazing inspiration!


I love just the simplicity of tin cans and fresh cut flowers from the garden ~
makes an darling adornment.

a well~worn tablecloth, dishes and crates...

all the neighbors and friends gathered for the party in the backyard...under the shade...

to enjoy some cold lemonade...

and {my personal favorite} a cupboard full of old fashioned desserts.
This is truly one of the most creative ideas ever to use a vintage kitchen hutch for the
food presentation in an outdoor setting.

empty bottles dangling from tree branches...

the use of wooden crates, galvanized buckets and old milk bottles...

the use of lemons randomly places throughout the scene for added pops of yellow...

fabric pieces were wrapped around just about everything...

vintage glass jars and milk glass service pieces...

mason jars were used for sipping on lemonade...

mason jars were also used for displaying fresh cut flowers...

Another one {of my personal favorites} ~ an old bird bath used to display frozen treats...
(lemon sugar cookie ice cream & strawberry/lemon swirled italian ice)

more sweet treats included mini lemon cupcakes with lemon cream cheese frosting...

Yummy pink lemonade cake!

and homemade lemonade lollipops nestled in a vintage drawer ~ so cute!

favor buckets of yellow & pink gumballs, a cute custom packet of lemonade, a personalize monogrammed glass drinking bottle with a white paper straw, and a fabric covered repurposed jar filled with lemon drops. Adorable!

I just love the tin can banner Jess created using an old window ~

As always, I encourage you to go to the original post on Pen n' Paper Flowers to read all the behind the scenes tips and to see all of the inspiration resources that Jess gives a personal thank you too!
