Wizard of Oz Party…
Share To:
Then the fun really began! I created a full collection of items using Dorothy along with her famous blue gingham pattern. Cupcake toppers, favor tags, cake topper, welcome sign, banner, fancy labels…everything you need to embellish this party! One of the first things that Kate mentioned was getting sparkly ruby red slippers for each of the girls. I used hints of red throughout the designs, and hand-glittered Dorothy’s shoes and accents! Look at the glitter on these cupcake toppers!
Kate & I discussed fabulous vendors that we wanted to have involved in the shoot! One of the most fun parts of this business is discovering talented women creating amazing products. You’ll notice both some of my preferred vendors along with Kate’s favorite vendors in the photos! (full list at end of post)
Kate took it from there! She planned and executed the party perfectly! She styled a gorgeous dessert table filled with goodies, including many variations of cookies, cupcakes, cake pops & cake!
Kate also styled a sitting table for the girls! Complete with aprons for each girl (with personalized tags!), fabric bunting, ruffled table runner & hats, custom place cards and cupcake centerpieces!
It was a pleasure working with you and I can’t wait to do it again soon!

I love the silhouette! We just did a Wizard of Oz theme for a church function last week. Ours was more focused on the rainbow colors, but I love the hay bales with the gingham ribbon.
I used food coloring paste in some melted white chocolate. I dyed it the color of the poppies. I coated a bunch of fresh popped popcorn, and called it "poppy"corn. I wish I would have waited until the end of this month to do our activity, because your cupcake toppers are so much more crisp than mine came out. Great job!
LOVE the theme! Great job, Kim! Oh how I would have loved to have this party as a little girl! It was my favorite movie growing up! Adorable!
I can't decide between the ruby red slippers or the aprons! So cute!!!

So many details from which to choose!! But, I have to go with the blue gingham print and the way it was used, namely the little ruffle on the table runner.
I am from Kansas, and it's hard for me to tell anyone that without it being followed by a Dorothy or Toto comment!

I'm so excited you all did this as I found an amazing Wizard of OZ Cake Platter at Home Goods a couple weeks ago and bought it on the spot as I knew that's a party I wanted to do for my girls at some point. I loved your ideas and table scape! Just BEAUTIFUL! I can't wait to purchase the collection and will have to post a pic of the amazing cake platter as soon as I snap a shot of it. The blue plaid and sparkling red all through out was what caught my eye! Gorgeous!

I am a fan of both on Facebook! My favourite detail was the ruby red slipper detailing – even on the cupcake toppers where it was tiny. Divine!
Do I have to pick one favorite? I loved the way the jumpers were used to jazz up the chairs. The tutus and the glitz in the shoes – aww! perfect
