Many of you know I've been a party stylist and the occasional craft workshop host for the last 6+ years. So I'm no stranger to styling parties for a photo shoot. This year I added wedding coordinator to my resume. The thing is, I didn't have a wedding portfolio to showcase my ability to help couples bring their vision to life. I know I can help couples style their wedding but they don't know that because I don't have anything to show them. This is where a wedding styled shoot comes in. But styling a wedding is different then styling a party shoot. I needed a little help. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://engagedweddingplanneracademy.com/product/styled-shoot-workbook/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Engaged Wedding Planner Academy's The Styled Shoot Workbook </a> was the help I needed. The workbook walks you through step-by-step which makes it so easy to create a styled shoot. The workbook includes a timeline so you know about how long it takes to do a wedding shoot. A checklist which made sure I didn't forget anything and areas to brainstorm your styled shoots vision. The section on how to create a mood board was very helpful. I'd never created one before because I didn't need one when I was styling my parties. With wedding styled shoots you have several vendors involved and they can't see the vision in your mind so you need to create a mood board.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There's a whole section of check lists for each vendor so you're sure not to miss anything for your shoot. And the tips! Everything from finding a venue, to finding models to shots that you want to make sure the photographer gets. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Because of this workbook my first styled shoot went really well, I got to work with some great vendors and have a great time during the shoot. </div>

<h3>
Go Naked with Your Table </h3>
<div>
<a href="https://www.fizzyparty.com/2019/03/spring-wedding-inspiration.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Just like spring weddings</a>, summer weddings are a great time to go naked with your table. There's SO many beautiful wood tables for rent why cover them with full table linens. Add some color and texture with a runner, florals and candles. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaDF2gyCWLz32jxjQBc-hLQoWuHHoqQPQHW3cAXGKHJx7u0aMe3-w4QYZcqujXTQDuNQe8nNNTeM9aC0E2Sj5ZGv6fzrLFgj3ESMVFvj963Q2PMOYJnzPhzMp0ie9DsX_VW0yWUVi8Z1Qv/s1600/Summer+wedding+table+place+setting.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Wedding-table-setting-summer-inspiration" border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="1600" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaDF2gyCWLz32jxjQBc-hLQoWuHHoqQPQHW3cAXGKHJx7u0aMe3-w4QYZcqujXTQDuNQe8nNNTeM9aC0E2Sj5ZGv6fzrLFgj3ESMVFvj963Q2PMOYJnzPhzMp0ie9DsX_VW0yWUVi8Z1Qv/s640/Summer+wedding+table+place+setting.jpg" title="Summer wedding table place setting inspiration " width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Add texture and color</h3>
<div>
When you go naked with your table pull in color and texture with your place settings and accessories. Colored napkins bring a burst of color to white plates and adding an embroidering hoop with a floral accent adds texture and interest. Embroidery hoops are inexpensive and add interest to the place settings. </div>

Are you doing as much of your wedding as you can on your own with the help of family and friends ? Use crystal ice buckets to hold florals. You can get flowers at farmers markets for a great price. Ask your family if they have any candle sticks you can borrow, rent them or shop your thrift stores for some. Don't worry about them matching. Unless it's just going to bug the heck out of you if they don't match. Candles come in a variety of colors to match almost any wedding color scheme. </span></div>

<h3>
What it's Really Like To Do Your First Bridal Show</h3>
<div>
This is my first year as a wedding consultant. So when the email arrived in my inbox about the <a href="http://www.marrymeevent.com/#!/HOME" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Marry Me Night Market bridal show</a> I seriously considered signing up for a booth. Of course I wanted to do some research first because a booth at a bridal show does cost money. I asked in a couple of Facebook wedding groups if bridal shows were worth it. Hit or miss was the response I received. It really depends on the show and the couples that attend I was told. Well that wasn't helpful. Now when I said how much a small booth costs, Go for it! was the answer from everyone who responded. I signed up for a 5 foot x 5 foot space, the smallest booth I could get. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The bridal show was originally scheduled for February but our meteorologists "threatened" snow a week in advice and the show was moved to April. Of course it didn't snow and I knew it wouldn't but to be safe the show was moved. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I met with <a href="https://vintagemeetsmodernpdx.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vintage Meets Modern</a> to rent some furniture and accessories for my booth. Once I figured out what furniture would fit into my 5' x 5' booth I was ready to get creative with how I wanted it to look. I created a secret <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> board of ideas to send to the vendors I'd be working with. <a href="https://www.lettersanddust.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Letters and Dust </a> was creating the signs for the show and I asked her to make me some as well. I sent her a collage based off my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> board and let her do her creative thing. I also knew I wanted a cake but didn't need a real one. A faux one would do just fine. I sent <a href="https://sugarhousecake.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sugarhouse Cake</a> the same collage and told her to create one for me. She had free reign to create whatever she wanted. All the other items I wanted for my booth I had on hand. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div>
The day before the show I packed everything up and picked up the faux cake. The cake was <b>perfect! </b>It matched my booth look perfectly. On the day of the show I was originally going to arrive 2 hours before the show. I knew I didn't need much time to set up a small space. I ended up deciding to arrive 3 hours before the show instead. Thank goodness I did! I was told when I arrived that the furniture would be in my booth. Whoops! It wasn't there. It got delivered to the wrong booth. Thank goodness I arrived early. I had time to move the items over to my booth and get set up. Always give yourself more time then you think you need. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>My Booth! </b></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My first ever bridal booth! The photos will be a little dark because it was a NIGHT MARKET! The lights were turned down and only cafe lights and some spot lights were used. I didn't realize the lights would be this low so I was really glad I used a lot of colour in my booth. Before the show opened vendors walked around to check out everyone's booths and as they walked by mine I heard, "This one is cool", " So creative", "Look at all the colour in this one" 😊😊 Gotta say, I was feeling pretty excited about my booth after hearing that. The last thing you want is for couples to walk by and barely look at your booth. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before this bridal show I was in I attended one to get an idea of what booths looked like and what caught my eye. SIGNS! That was one thing that stood out to me. Some of the booths at the bridal show I attended before the one I was in didn't have signs. You'd walk by their booth and have no idea what their service was or the name of their company. It wasn't inviting to me at all and I saw so many couples just walk right by. I made sure to have a nice BIG sign. Couples saw my sign and would stop to ask what Fizzy Party was. The 2019 Trends sign by <a href="https://www.lettersanddust.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Letters and Dust </a> added interest, colour and information for the couples. </div>

<div>
At the front of the booth I had a small bistro table with information for the couples, a wedding newsletter sign up and some candy. I was told by several brides in wedding Facebook groups that candy is a must for your booth. Funny thing was, more vendors ate the candy then couples did. 😂</div>

On the opposite side of the bar was the cake created by <a href="https://sugarhousecake.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sugarhouse Cake </a>. This cake got A LOT of attention at the bridal show. I loved how it matched perfectly with the sign and the floor covering I painted. </div>

Right before the attendees were going to be let in I saw the booth near mine light candles. I didn't think we could light candles so I didn't bring a lighter. They were really nice and let me borrow their lighter. The booth looked SO much better with the candles lit. </div>

I didn't know what to expect from the show. I went in with a positive attitude and hoped that couples would be interested enough to stop by my booth. I was next to a cake baker and because our booths were so small and close together couples thought we were a team. This actually helped my booth because I would explain to them we weren't a team and then tell them about my services. The night started out a little slow and couples seemed mildly interested. However, as the night went on more and more couples stopped at my booth and were genuinely interested in my services and asked for information. It's too early to tell if couples who attended the show will book my services but I consider the show a success! </div>

<br />
Held at <a href="https://theevergreenpdx.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Evergreen</a> in SE Portland, an event space with circular windows to let the light stream in, beautiful brick walls above and white wood paneling below make this space versatile for any wedding theme. Maple flooring adds a touch of warmth. There's a mezzanine above with a staircase leading down to the event space for couples wanting to make a grand entrance, a place to get ready for the wedding or a cozy space for guests to relax from the partying below. The space doesn't feel big, it feels intimate, even though it can host 445 people on the main floor.<br />
<br />
The theme for this Babes Brunch was day light disco. I can get down with that. I've never been a night owl. And I had the perfect dress for it that I picked up at Target a few years back on sale. I KNEW there would be an occasion for that dress. If you've been a fan of Fizzy Party for awhile, you know I love to dress the party theme. If you hire me as your wedding consultant and want me there on the day of your wedding, I'll totally dress your wedding theme.<br />

Straight to the bar to get a drink mixed by <a href="http://www.publicprovisions.com/about" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Public Provisions.</a> Drink in hand, it's time to mingle and network. <br />

<h3>
Keys to Networking</h3>
<div>
Being an extrovert, networking events fuel me. I enjoy meeting and connecting with people I don't know. Especially people in the same industry as myself. You never know what opportunities can come out of networking. It's easy for me to say don't be a wall flower. But seriously, Don't be a wall flower! You could miss out on so many great connections. Just walk right up to someone and say Hi I'm so and so and I'm a... More people at these networking events are feeling the same way you are and probably appreciate you initiating the conversation. And OWN what you do. Even if you're just starting out as a photographer, stylist, makeup artist etc. When someone asks you what you do, don't say, I'm kind of a photographer/stylist/ etc. Say, I'm a photographer/stylist etc. And OWN it! I've been styling parties for 6+ years but at this Babes Brunch I wanted these ladies to know about my wedding consulting. Sure I just started it this year but when I walked up to people I said, Hi, I'm Tiffany of Fizzy Party, I'm a wedding consultant and I said it with confidence. If you say, I'm sort of a... people aren't going to take you as seriously and not want to refer clients to you or have much faith in your ability. </div>

<br />
After I got my drink it was time to network and make connections. I saw a woman standing by herself, walked right up to her and said, Hi, I'm Tiffany of Fizzy Party, I'm a wedding consultant. We ended up having a great conversation and come to find out, she works with more high end couples, where as I want to work with couples who want to plan the majority of their wedding themselves but need a little help. She told me she has couples inquire with her for services but aren't a good fit and she said I sound like the perfect fit for them. Woohoo! All because I walked right up to her and introduced myself. I chatted with a few more ladies before it was time to sit down and eat.<br />
<br />
I didn't eat much at the Babes Brunch but that's only because I'm so damn picky. Seriously. The food by <a href="http://crownpaella.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Crown Paella</a> must have been really good because all the other ladies ate it all. Here's what was on the menu-<br />
Snacks<br />
*Pink Lady Apple Turnover- cute little turnovers that were pretty tasty actually, Considering I don't like cooked apples.<br />
*Spanish Tortilla with Farm Eggs and Yukon Gold Potatoes- I would have liked these better without whatever sauce they had on top. I didn't like that.<br />
*Warm Wrapped Dates with Sesame, Cilantro and Preserved Lemon- I'm not a fan of dates but I tried it. I may be picky but I will try foods.<br />
*Sherry Glazed Bacon Wrapped Quail Eggs- My first time ever eating a quails egg. Definitely more flavorful than a chicken egg. But, doubt I'd eat them again.<br />
( I told you I was picky)<br />
<br />
Main course-<br />
*Mixed Young Lettuces with Pickled Cherries, Smoked Almonds, Fresh Snipped Herbs and Sherry Vinaigrette- This was ok. I'm not a fan of mixed spring greens.<br />
* Crown Royale Paella which included chicken, mussels, clams, prawns, chorizo, saffron and peppers. I don't like the taste of anything that lives in water so... you guessed it, I didn't eat any of this.<br />
* Verdura Paella which included artichoke hearts, sweet peppers, foraged mushrooms, green beans, saffron, gigantes beans, sofrito and fresh herbs. I tried to scoop up just the artichoke hearts and green beans.<br />
I know, I know, I'm impossible. I am so not a foodie.<br />
<br />
While I didn't really eat anything at this event, it was still worth attending. The connections made was worth it. After eating it was photobooth time and more mingleing. I ended up connecting with a florist and two photographers and we're planning a styled wedding shoot in the beautiful wine country of Oregon.<br />

<br />
Spring weddings are a great time to go naked with your table. Don't hide that beautiful wood table under a full table linen. High light the wood with a colourful table linen. I like to go with a lighter fabric for spring weddings.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Add some pattern</b></span><br />
<br />
Looking to add some pattern onto your reception table? Do it with the napkins. You can go for something light like this floral pattern or go big and bold. You can even go for a lighter pattern for the table and go with something bolder for the cocktail napkins.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Add some romance with coloured place settings</b></span><br />
<br />
Light coloured place settings add a touch of romance to your table. If your larger rental places don't carry coloured place settings, check with the smaller rental companies. Smaller rental companies tend to have more specialty place settings and other rental items. They might also be more willing to special order items for your wedding if it's something they think they can re-rent out to other couples.<br />

Clearly I need to work on my photography skills. This ones a little fuzzy, oops! This is why you hire a professional photographer for your wedding. Yes I know, they seem expensive but SO worth it. Oh sure, you could save some money by having your family and friends take photo's but you could end up with fuzzy pics like mine above. This is your wedding! There's places to cut costs and places not to cut costs. And a photographer is not one of those vendors where you cut costs.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Coloured candles + Floral's </b></span><br />
<br />
Colourful candles can compliment your floral's. Are you doing as much of your wedding as you can on your own with the help of family and friends ? Pick up or borrow some small glass bottles to hold your flowers. You can get flowers at farmers markets for a great price. Ask your family if they have any candle sticks you can borrow, rent them or shop your thrift stores for some. Don't worry about them matching. Unless it's just going to bug the heck out of you if they don't match. <br />

The day I styled this table it happened to be a beautiful spring day. But if you live in Oregon an outdoor spring wedding can be tricky. The day could be beautiful and sunny or rainy. I highly recommend a tent. Don't take a chance on the weather being perfect on your spring wedding day.<br />

You had all these plans that you were going to plan your wedding yourself but then when you really sat down to do it and all the outside influences started creeping in you were like, Dang, we need a little help. So you search the net for a wedding planner but that's not really what you need. A wedding planner is too full service for what you're looking for. You just want a little help with a few things. So you type in wedding coordinator and wedding consultant. Ok, these services look more like what you're looking for. But which one do you choose? You want to pick someone who matches your style and personality. </div>

Your my ideal couple if you like to have fun! You<u> want</u> to plan your own wedding but dang it it's hard and you still want to have a life. You don't want wedding planning to consume all your free time and you just want a little help here and there. Or maybe this is your second marriage or a vow renewal and you don't want the big to-do and are looking for someone to help you create a little more relaxed playful wedding. Or maybe you don't even want a wedding, you're thinking an elopement. </div>

Your the type of couple that wants to get married on the beach, in a backyard, in the woods, standing in a waterfalls pool, up a mountain trail that ends in a beautiful view, in a park or even a boxing gym. You want to add some wedding elements, décor and design to these places but you don't want the big fancy pants go all out type of wedding.<br />

You want a more causal vibe to your wedding. No large guest counts, you want a more intimate gathering. It's not about the numbers at your wedding.

Not the same type of wedding they've been to before. </div>

I'm that wedding consultant who will help you when that thought hits you and you're like, 'wait, how do we do this idea I just had?' Or, ' I can't figure out how to make these elements look good together.' Being creative, crafty and styling on the fly are my strong points. I'm the stylist who the morning of a party or wedding will wake up at 5:00 a.m. and think, OOOOHHH, YES! I NEED to add this little detail. My husband calls that stress. I call it <b>passion.</b> 😉<br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Mason Jars- In or Out for Weddings? </span></h3>
<div>
I was talking to a wedding planner about my July bride and what she wanted for her reception table centerpieces. Mason jars, wood rounds, flowers, some wood hearts with their initials burned into them. The planner said, I hope you tried to talk her out of the Mason jars and into using something else. I understood what the planner meant, Mason jars have been overdone and are out as far as trends are concerned. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I didn't try and talk my bride into something else for a few reasons. The couple is in their early twenties, graduating college and buying a house. When it comes to their wedding they're on a budget and both feel like while the wedding day is important, it's just one day out of the rest of their lives together. They'd rather focus on and spend their money on their new house and making it a home together. I love all these reasons for why this couple is having the wedding that they are. The most touching reason why I didn't try and talk the bride into using something else was because these Mason jars were her grandma's. The brides grandma canned a lot and every holiday her grandma's canned green beans would make an appearance on the table. Sadly, her grandma is no longer with her. By using her grandma's Mason jar's as part of her reception table centerpieces, she's honoring her grandma. </div>

One of the services I offer as a wedding consultant is wedding crafting. The couples I specialize in are all about DIY'ing their wedding. And my July bride is definitely DIY'ing as much as she can. We met at her house along with some of her family, gathered all the supplies we would need and started crafting. The bride wanted the burlap and lace ribbon wrapped around the jar and a jute bow around the top. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
We got started by measuring how much ribbon we'd need to go around the jar and hot glued the ribbon in place. With 5 of us working on it we completed this part pretty quickly. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
After hot gluing the ribbon onto the Mason jars we cut the jute into strips and tied bows at the top of the jars. The bride was really happy with how they turned out. Her brother is going to cut some wood rounds for her that she'll set these jars on. Gerbera daisies, babies breath and some greens will fill the jars. Along with the Mason jars on the wood rounds will be little wood hearts with the couples initials burned into them. Another crafting day may be in the works to make the little hearts. This would be fun since I've never used a wood burning tool before. </div>

<br />
<br />
Let's chat about the differences between a wedding planner, wedding coordinator and a wedding consultant.<br />
<br />
<b>Wedding Planner-</b> The all-encompassing everything for your wedding. They're all about the logistics, from vendor referrals, keeping track of your budget, contract negotiations, day-of executing and more. Wedding planners are the ones you tell them your ideas for your wedding and the feel you want and they run with it. They are very involved with your entire wedding process. They'll create a detailed timeline and floor plans. And oversee everything on the day of your wedding.<br />
<br />
This is not what I do. If you're looking for someone who will pretty much do everything when it comes to planning your wedding, that's not me. I'm not a wedding planner.<br />
<br />
<b>Wedding Coordinator-</b> Does a lot of what the wedding planner does but on a shorter timeline. They'll help you prepare a few months before the wedding. A wedding coordinator will confirm your vendor contracts, create a day-of timeline, make sure payments and guest counts are in order, create a seating chart. They'll also make sure that on the day of your wedding that everything runs smoothly. <br />
<br />
This is not what I do either.<br />
<br />
<b>Wedding Consultant-</b> If you look up the term online it'll say that a wedding consultant is the same as a wedding planner or coordinator. But I don't think so. The services I offer are geared toward the couples who<i> want</i> to plan their own wedding and just need a little help here and there. Couples who want a smaller wedding, second marriages, vow renewals and elopements. Couples who want a more causal vibe to their weddings, fun, colourful, backyard, in the woods, personalized, you- do- you weddings. No seating charts, no sit down four course meals, no 200+ guests. <br />
<br />
So just what do I help couples with? A LOT!<br />
<ul>
<li>Vendor lists- I'll send you a list of vendors I've personally met or used their services. </li>
<li>Dress shopping- Portland is a HOT place to move to. But what if you move here, get engaged and you don't have anyone to go dress shopping with until your friends fly out for a visit? You hire me! I'll help you pick a dress for your wedding feel and one that looks amazing on you. </li>
<li>Helping with any questions. Planning a wedding means you'll have A LOT of questions. It's not like you get married every day. </li>
<li>Getting a yes or no from guests who haven't RSVP'd. You should not have to deal with the stress of calling guests to see if they're coming or not. You should be enjoying every minute of being engaged and planning your wedding. </li>
<li>Reminding and reassuring you that it's YOUR wedding when co-workers, friends, family try to tell you how your wedding should be and stress you out. And ooh boy does this happen. Seems like as soon as you get engaged everyone gives you input on how your wedding <i>should</i> be. Or when you tell them an idea you're really excited about for your wedding, they give you the side-eye look and then you start second guessing your idea you were so excited about. </li>
<li>Monthly to-do's emailed to you so you stay on track with your planning.</li>
<li>Taking all your Pinterst ideas and helping you pull a look together so your wedding is Amazing!</li>
<li>Finding locations. Especially if you're new to the area.</li>
<li>Ways to help you cut costs in some areas so you can get that item, look, service, you REALLY want. </li>
<li>Helping calm the stress. When you just need someone to talk to, vent to, cry out the stress too. </li>
</ul>

<br /></div>
<h3>
So just why did I become a wedding consultant?</h3>
<div>
You hear it all the time, I became a wedding planner/coordinator etc because I planned my wedding and loved it or because I just love love or I love helping peoples dream wedding come true. Nope.Nope. and Nope. I did love planning both my weddings, even the stressy bits. Seeing people in love always makes people happy. And of course it's a fantastic feeling helping someones dream wedding come true. The reason I became a wedding consultant is because I know there's couples out there who <i>want</i> to plan their own wedding and just need a little help here and there. They don't need a full service planner. Being like a couples personal wedding assistant, knowing I helped save them a lot of time and stress, that's the BEST feeling. I'm good at styling parties and the type of weddings I love to help couples with which are fun, colourful, adventurous, smaller guest count and a little more on the casual side. Hearing the stress in a brides voice when she calls me and at the end of the call the stress in her voice is gone and she feels relieved and much better about the wedding. LOVE that! I want every couple to enjoy the wedding planning process like I did and especially to enjoy and remember their wedding day. I love inspiring, encouraging, motivating and seeing people happy. Becoming a wedding consultant uses all my skills, lights me up, gives me that twinkle in my eye and best of all, challenges me.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">New Year, New Logo </span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
It's a new year with a new direction for Fizzy Party. Fizzy Party has been bringing you party inspiration for 6+ years and will continue to bring you party inspiration. But this is 2019 and I'm taking Fizzy Party into an exciting new venture, Wedding Consulting 👰💍 You're going to be seeing a lot of changes around here. Starting with a fresh look to the logo. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I started Fizzy Party I reached out to <a href="https://bravecreativedesign.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Michele of Brave Creative Design<span style="color: #007600;"> </span></a> because I can style a party but I suck at graphic design. I had NO clue what I wanted my logo to look like. I knew I wanted hot pink because I love poppin bright coloures. I wanted some glittery element because I love glittery things and my friends can't look at something glittery without thinking of me. I knew I wanted it to express fun and I wanted a unique coloured background. A colour you didn't see on a lot of other logos. For fonts, I had no clue. I honestly really don't pay attention to fonts. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Michele took my vague ideas and created something I thought expressed Fizzy Party. The hot pink was included in the font, the glittery gold confetti at the bottom, the fun bubbles coming out of the Y like it's a glass of bubbly. The teal background is definitely not a colour you see in a lot of logos. I liked the logo she created for me. Thank goodness for graphic designers. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<h3>
<br /></h3>
Here we are in 2019 and I'm so PUMPED for this year!! I'm super excited about this year and this excitement called for a fresh look to the logo. When I contacted Michele I think she was excited to give my logo a fresh look too. I told her I wanted MORE colour, brighter colours, more confetti fun. I wanted it to express the fun, bright, personalized, you do you wedding feel for my new Wedding Consulting. The colours I chose were hot pink, bright orange, lime green and bright yellow. I chose these colours because I'm drawn to them and they were our wedding colours.<br />
<br />
Michele was itching to remove the coloured background and I said, "Go for it!" One thing I like to do when working with vendors is give them an outline and my thoughts on what I'm looking for and let them run with it. The services they offer are what they specialize in and I do not specialize in graphic design. I really like the white background, it makes the bright colours POP! The gold glittery confetti on the bottom of the logo was replaced by colourful fun confetti. I LOVE it!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">My Business Goals for 2019</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
Is anyone else feeling like 2019 is special? That it's finally<b> your</b> year! I don't know what it is about this year but I'm feeling on FIRE!!!!<br />
<br />
I took December to seriously sit down with my day planner and got all the birthday's written in and even made notes when to mail off birthday cards. Yes. Actual snail mail birthday cards. I love sending cards to my friends. Knowing how much happiness something so little can bring makes me happy.<br />
<br />
I also put in any big things coming up and deadlines of when I need to complete things. I'm so tired of falling behind and scrambling when there's no need to. I just need to get it in the planner and I'll stay on top of things. <br />
<br />
Just getting all that stuff in my planner made me feel so on top of things, on FIRE and excited for 2019!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Ready to take on 2019 like a boss </h3>
<div>
That fire propelled me to sit down and really get my business goals listed out. By listing out my business goals it will keep me focused and taking steps every day, every month to achieve them. Because friends, I have some BIG audacious goals for this year. </div>
<br />

<div>
I don't have a word of the year this year. I'm taking this year to focus on my vision board, not a word. Because <a href="https://www.fizzyparty.com/2019/01/vision-board-2018.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">dang it if these vision boards don't actually work! </a> And this years vision board has some seriously BIG goals on it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>

As I said earlier, there is something about 2019. I have felt so organized, on fire, Pumped! I know in my heart that this year is going to be a big year of growth, accomplishment and success. I have set some big audacious freaking me out to my core in a good way goals. I finally understand what all those highly successful people mean when they say, If your dreams don't scare you, you're not dreaming big enough. </div>

I've been styling parties for 6+ years and while it's been fun and I'll still be hosting parties and bringing you inspiration, I'm putting the majority of my focus on wedding consulting. This is one of those freaking me out in a good way but I know in my heart this is what I'm meant to do big goals. The reason it's freaking me out is because I can actually see how successful this is going to be. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Why a wedding consultant instead of a planner? I don't want to plan your whole wedding from start to finish. That doesn't light me up. I want to work with the couples who want to plan their own wedding but need a little help here and there. Couples who this is their second marriage and they want more than a court house wedding but not the big wedding. Couples who it's their first or second wedding and they want a more casual vibe, no seating charts, smaller guest count, no four-course meals. So basically, my wedding! HA HA</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was telling a friend about this and she said, "oh my GOSH, this is your passion. You have a twinkle in your eye and you're just lit up." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">2. My First Booth at a Bridal Show </span></b></div>
<div>
I told you I'm going BIG. I'll be setting up a booth at my first every bridal show in February. I'm excited to connect with so many couples and be the service they've been looking for. My booth will of course reflect me. Colourful, full of energy, and fun. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">3. Pinners Conference </span></b></div>
<div>
After February I'm heading right into March and down to <a href="https://www.pinnersconference.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">California to teach at the Pinners Conference. </a> Yep, this goal is definitely freaking me out in a good way. I'll be teaching about the top trends in wedding reception table centerpieces to possibly 150 people! I'm also offering a kit for sale that will be PACKED full of information for the couple planning their own wedding. Fast forward to November and I'll be teaching at the Pinners Conference in Arizona. I'm SO excited for these opportunities and to be able to reach so many people. If even just a few people walk away from my classes with ideas for their wedding, that will be a success. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">4. Bridal Workshop </span></b></div>
<div>
I'm really excited for this workshop I'll be hosting with some other wedding vendors. It's still in the planning stages so I can't tell you much. It will probably be in May and if you're getting married later in the year or next year, you'll want to attend. The workshop is going to be full of so much valuable information. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is going to be a year of reaching goals, crushing them, growth and success. What goals do you have for this year? </div>

<h3>
Do vision boards really work? </h3>
<div>
I was never one to create vision boards. They were too woo woo for me. But for some reason I decided to create one last year. I was feeling a pull to make some changes to Fizzy Party and take it to bigger places I knew it could go. I felt I was playing too small and wanted to go bigger. I was also feeling like the universe was telling me to embrace what I was hearing from friends, followers and fellow bloggers. That I should go into coaching because I'm good at motivating, inspiring and encouraging people. So a lot of what I put on my 2018 vision board was for a direction I thought I was going to take Fizzy Party and by the end of the year decided to go in a different direction. And not go into coaching. </div>
<div>

I added this quote to the my vision board to remind myself that taking small steps every day would bring me closer to completing my goals. To help remind me that even though it doesn't seem like I'm making progress, I really am. This came true. I took small steps every day and made big progress. </div>

I feel so blessed that many of Fizzy Party's followers wish they could attend my parties and craft workshops and have asked me to please come to their state so they could be a part of them. I had a vision of renting an <a href="https://www.airstream.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Airstream </a> because they're so cool and taking a road trip around the U.S. hosting parties where my followers lived. Having fun connecting with you all and of course documenting it on the blog and social media. It would have been SO fun! </div>

I had so many people telling me I'm good at encouraging, motivating and inspiring people, am a strong confident person and should teach about that at a conference. I had no idea what I would teach because I'm just being me. I seriously thought about it but every time conferences called for speakers I didn't apply. I just didn't know what I would teach about. <a href="https://www.altitudesummit.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ALT Summit </a>was one of the conferences that was suggested to me as one that would be a good one for me to apply to. I never did. But I did apply to <a href="https://www.pinnersconference.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pinners Conference </a>and am speaking there in 2019! So in a way, this came true. </div>

I love <a href="http://tasselsandtastemakers.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tassels & Tastemakers </a>events.

Friends, Fizzy Party followers, fellow bloggers. I could picture how fun it would be. I knew it wouldn't actually happen because those kinds of parties are expensive. But their events push me to keep throwing parties and work my way up to throwing a big one. </div>

We had to say good bye to our baby in May of 2017. If your a pet lover you know how much of a loss this is. We knew we eventually wanted more kitties but needed time.

In July of 2018 we welcomed black cats Healey and Austin to our family. </div>

As 2018 draws to a close it's time once again to do a year end review. Looking back I really thought I blogged more than I did. That's going to change in 2019. A lot is going to change for 2019. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We need to take a look back on 2018 first.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Winter </h2>
<div>
January saw the plaid trend continuing and lots of hot chocolate parties. I was also feeling a pull toward something but I couldn't place what it was. It seemed like people kept telling me I was so good at motivating, inspiring, and encouraging people. It was everywhere I looked. I had people telling me in emails, on the phone, and on social media posts. What did it mean?! I had to figure it out. </div>

<h2>
Spring </h2>
<div>
In March I combined succulents and St. Patrick's day. We enjoyed a delicious brunch and created succulent gardens. I also called a business coach to try and figure out what all these signs coming in were trying to tell me. Those signs being those emails, messages and phone calls of people telling me I was good at motivating, encouraging and inspiring people. An hour long phone call with the coach later and I was looking at pivoting and becoming a coach myself. Which is probably why I didn't blog much or host many parties because I was seriously trying to figure out what direction I was going to take Fizzy Party. I was getting burned out of making no money for all the parties I was creating. I love bringing you party inspiration and hosting parties but it all costs money. I could have styled parties for other people but most parties people hire you for are kids parties, and if you've followed Fizzy Party long enough, you know I don't do kids parties. I'm all about the girlfriends, leave the kids at home parties. </div>

<br />
I hosted a few succulent workshops because they're fun and I like hosting workshops. I had this idea of hosting different craft events all over the Portland Metro area where I live. Succulent gardens, sugar scrubs, cookie decorating, wreath making, so many fun classes. It wouldn't just be a class. It would be a class with a party atmosphere. Party décor and a dessert bar. I threw a few workshops but it got to be too stressful and un-fun. Lots of people would say they were interested but when it came time to buying tickets it would be crickets. People would buy tickets at the very last minute and then I would only sell about 2-6 of them. Of course I would go all out at these workshops no matter how many tickets sold. But it got hard to really know how many supplies to buy and I would end up losing money. So I stopped throwing craft workshops.<br />

I did a lot of baking this spring too. Tried a lot of cupcake recipes I've been meaning to try. When I don't bake for a long time I forget how much I enjoy doing it. I have friends tell me I should start selling my cupcakes but I have no interest in that. I'd need to take a food handlers course and rent space at a commercial kitchen. We have cats and you can't get a home based food license when you have cats. </div>

I was still mulling over being a coach but I just wasn't feeling it. I knew there was a way I could use my motivating, inspiring and encouraging qualities in some way but coaching just didn't seem to fit. I had also made the decision to close the etsy shop. I felt like it was holding back an opportunity from coming into my life. I was only making about 15 sales a year so it was a fairly easy decision to make. </div>

I appeared several times on <a href="https://katu.com/afternoon-live" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Afternoon Live</a> ,our local afternoon lifestyle t.v. program. I really enjoy bringing you ideas on t.v. because you get a lot better look at the party and I'm able to give you ideas and tips to use. It was while I was getting ready for one of these segments that an A-HA moment happened. </div>

<h2>
Summer </h2>
<div>
My A-Ha moment was when I was prepping my summer party for Afternoon Live. I was laying everything out, making sure I had everything I needed when I thought, I'm damn good at this! Just like that the thought of coaching was out of my head and replaced by something else. Remember, I wasn't really feeling the coaching thing anyway. You see, every year I say, THIS is the year that I'm going for it. But if I really take a hard look at the past years, I only half-ass go for it. Probably because I was trying to figure out just what IT was that I was amazing at. Don't worry, the party inspiration isn't going anywhere. I'm just adding to it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I tried bringing my crafty skills to an etsy shop and it did ok but I didn't put the effort into it I really should have. Which told me I wasn't really into it as much as I thought I wanted to be. I tried craft workshops and had a lot of fun at them but lost money every time. So I'm closing my shop and not hosting craft workshops any more. I really enjoy hosting parties and brining you party inspiration so that will continue. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I'm really excited about, have been going all in on and will combine my party skills and motivating, inspiring and encouraging skills is... Wedding Consulting!! I am pumped about this and am going all in. No half-assing this. I'm working with three brides right now, brushing up on some skills with an online course and assisted at a styled shoot by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/undertheveilnw/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Under the Veil</a>. I can not wait to bring you more information about this. I'll be adding my fizzy style to it, of course ;) </div>

Fall was full of holiday parties, Halloween and Thanksgiving. Holiday's are my favorite time to host parties. Not just the fall holidays but all holidays. I am definitely going to throw more and bigger holiday parties in 2019. </div>
<div>

<div>
I did a lot of behind the scenes work on my wedding consulting. Getting ready to book couples in 2019 and I'll be bringing you a lot more information on this in another post. </div>

2018 was a year of figuring out which direction I wanted to take Fizzy Party. This resulted in not a lot of blogging or social media posts. Well look out 2019! Because I have so much planned and I hope you come along with me. I appreciate so very much all your follows, likes, comments and especially those of you who receive my newsletter.

When your friend is competing on the <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/holiday-gingerbread-showdown" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Food Network Gingerbread Showdown,</a> you throw a viewing party. Complete with gingerbread houses and cupcakes. I watch Food Networks holiday food challenges all the time so I was SUPER excited to watch my friend compete. Only the best of the best get to compete on these shows. And my friend <a href="https://tikkido.com/blog/BEST-gingerbread-house-recipe-free-printable-templates" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tikkido has some serious gingerbread skills. </a></div>

<br />
I invited a few friends over to watch with me and you know I had to decorate for the theme. I picked up a Wilton boxed ready to make gingerbread house kit. I thought about making my own gingerbread to build a house but since I've never done that before and it was a busy holiday weekend, I saved myself some time and bought a kit.<br />
<br />
I had a few issues in frosting the houses. The kit comes with icing, piping bags and tips. I had no problems piping out the frosting for the 'glue' to hold the pieces together. When I went to pipe the doors and windows I was starting to have a little trouble. By the time I got to the roofs the icing did not want to come out of the bag. I squeezed hard and no icing would come out. I didn't want to squeeze too hard though because icing could have exploded every where. So I grabbed a new bag and tip and tried again. Again, it started piping ok and then froze. Sigh. I had some sugar cookie icing on hand so I started spreading it with a knife to get snow on the houses and on the ground around the houses.<br />

Oh my goodness the cupcakes. Our house smelled so good while they were baking. I frosted them with cream cheese frosting and also filled the cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I do love a cream cheese frosting. The recipe I used was from <a href="https://livforcake.com/gingerbread-cake/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Live for Cakes</a>. <br />

You may not be hosting your own viewing party but these cupcakes and gingerbread houses are perfect for a holiday movie watching party, a Christmas open house, gift wrapping party or just cause you want to hang out with your girlfriends.<br />

This is SO exciting! My friend <a href="https://www.kimakonfections.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kima of Kima's Konfections</a> is competing in <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/christmas-cookie-challenge" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Food Network's Christmas Cookie Challenge.</a> I had no idea she was doing this until she announced it in November. She had to keep things all hush-hush. I don't know how she did it. I would be bursting at the seams wanting to tell someone. I was so excited for her that as soon as I found out I invited my friends to a viewing party. As I type this on Sunday night the episode my friend is in hasn't aired yet. It airs on Monday, when this post goes live in the morning. So if you're reading this now, be sure to come back after Monday to get the update. </div>

In preparation for the viewing party I got out my <a href="https://amzn.to/2qVTQER" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wilton Cookie Cutter set, seen below and available on Amazon. </a> I looked up a sugar cookie recipe and decided on <a href="https://semisweetdesigns.com/2013/09/08/updated-roll-out-sugar-cookie-recipe/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Semisweet Mike's.</a> The almond scent filled the air as the cookies baked and made the kitchen smell so good. I of course had to try one once they were done baking to make sure they baked ok. I haven't baked sugar cookies since we got our new oven. The almond comes through lightly in the baked cookies and tastes delicious even without frosting. I also used <a href="https://semisweetdesigns.com/2013/10/03/updated-royal-icing-recipe/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Semisweet Mike's royal icing recipe. </a> It turned out just like the pictures on his site. <br />

My plan for these cookies was to pipe an outline and then flood the cookies. After outlining all the cookies I decided not to flood them. Cookies are not something that I make. I'm a cupcake baker so I didn't want to throw too many techniques at myself at once. Shoot, it took me longer then expected just to pipe the cookies the way I did. I decided I would just pipe the frosting on and smooth it out with a toothpick. Oh my goodness, I have mad respect for cookie artists. Piping cookies is not as easy as I thought it would be. You can see I smudged Santa's hat there. <br />

I did the candy canes first and you can tell because the icing isn't as smooth. The candy canes were my learning cookies for sure. The Santa hat's turned out so much better. My smoothing with the toothpick technique definitely improved. Next time I want to try flooding.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One of these years I'll buy so many pumpkins that I'll have a pumpkin patch in my backyard. Than I'll of course throw a party and invite all my friends and we'll take a bunch of pics in the Fizzy Pumpkin Patch. I better start saving now. Pumpkins are pretty inexpensive but to really make a cool pumpkin patch, I'm going to need A LOT of pumpkins. </span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Create your own backyard graveyard</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></b> <span style="font-size: large;">Set up some Styrofoam tombstones, throw down some plastic bones and add some pumpkins. The tombstones and plastic bones you can get from craft stores and online. You could make your own tombstones if you want certain sayings on them. But if you don't care what's written on the tombstone, save yourself some time and just buy the pre-made ones. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The dry grass from not watering it over the summer really adds to the graveyard look. It's been pretty warm here in Portland so the leaves haven't really fallen yet. The graveyard would look even spookier with fallen leaves and dried dead leaves. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For this years Halloween party I went with a black cats and pumpkin treats theme. It was a small party with just a few friends so I didn't go all out. I didn't even create a backdrop! I chose the theme because we adopted two black cats this summer and I love pumpkin treats. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Fill the table with pumpkin treats- </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin salsa, pumpkin popcorn and little chocolate pumpkin cakellets. It's pumpkin over load!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b></b><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><b></b><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever thought of using a cat scratcher as a cupcake stand? It's a fun unexpected way to display your treats. Just make sure the scratcher is brand new before you use it. I chose to display the pumpkin bread muffins on it. The muffins made for great party favors. I like to send guests home with edible flavors.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to host parties. There's so many themes to choose from. You can get really creative with your décor. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
Depending on where you live you probably won't be setting up your dessert table outside. But it was such a gorgeous day here in Portland and the lighting is so much better outside than in our house. I couldn't resist setting up outside. And our little graveyard adds to the overall look.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Caramel apples and candy corn. Must haves on a Halloween dessert table. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
You can attempt to make your own caramel apples or, you can pick them up at a pumpkin patch like I did. They make them so much better than I ever have. And pick up a couple of pumpkins while you're there. Candy corn doesn't have to just be in a bowl on the table. You can use it as part of the décor. You know your friends will nibble on it every time they walk by the table. Even if it's part of the décor like how I used it here on the table.<br />
<br />
The witches head is super easy to make. Pick up a Styrofoam head at your craft store, some paint and a Halloween pick you can find in the floral or seasonal section of the craft store. With a pencil, draw the lip line and hair line. Paint the lips, eyebrows, hair line and add eye lashes if you want. You can paint the skin green like I did or any colour that matches your party theme. Stick the Halloween pick in the head and you're done.<br />

The only problem with caramel apples is, it's hard not to eat it before the party begins.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Desserts </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
For me, no dessert table is complete without cupcakes. And I can't have naked cupcakes so I topped these with Candyfetti and tulle poms that I made. Normally I make my own cupcakes because I love to bake cupcakes but these are store bought. If you're short on time or don't like to bake, pick up cupcakes at the store or bakery.<br />
<br />
I like to have a variety of desserts on the table. A little something to please every one's taste buds. I did make the chocolate covered Oreo's with edible glitter spiders. See below for how to make the chocolate covered Oreo's.<br />

I melted black chocolate discs, painted the bottom of the mold and put it in the refrigerator to harden. Once the chocolate was hardened I put the Oreo in the mold, painted more chocolate on top the Oreo and put back in the refrigerator to harden. Once the chocolate was hardened I let them rest upside down until they fell out. You might have to give them a little push but don't push too hard or you'll separate the chocolate top from the bottom. I than took a small paint brush and painted edible glitter on the spider. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Cookies </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
Sugar cookies is one thing I always order for my parties. I don't even attempt to make them. There is so many great cookie artists out there. It would take me forever to decorate sugar cookies and they wouldn't look nearly as pretty as when cookie crafters decorate them.<br />

Look at that smooth icing job and spot on Halloween decorating skills. Yeah, mine wouldn't look anything like that. I could learn how to decorate cookies like this. But I'd rather just support small cookie bakers.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
Bubbles, yes bubbles for adult parties. On a whim one party I had bubbles out. I mostly had them out for fun but my guests got so excited about them. They all started blowing bubbles and we're having so much fun. Little bottles of bubbles make great party favors, even for adult parties.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Halloween parties are SO much easier when you have a theme. This Halloween, leave the men at home and host a witches only cocktail party. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">The rules of this party:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Women only. </span></li>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<li>Witch costume required. </li>
<li>Have fun. </li>

And you all know I can't resist adding some glitter in. Try to mirror the colours through out the table. The cocktails in the beaker reflect the colours in the BOO glitter letters. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Dress up your cocktail glasses with tulle poms. Add fun details like a witches head. Adding décor details to the table draws interest to it, gives the table dimension, depth and colour. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">This witch head was so easy to make. I picked up a Styrofoam head from the craft store. Than sketched out the lips, eyebrows and hair line. Once I had those features sketched out I painted them in. I added some eye lashes and topped it off with a mini hat. I painted using a foam brush. All these items you can pick up inexpensively at craft stores. For the witch hat look in the floral pick section of your craft store. </span></div>

This party is so easy. It doesn't require a lot of space or time to prep. You could re-create this look or just decorate with what you already own. If you don't have any items to use or just want to pick up some new stuff, check for sales. Halloween items usually go on sale at craft stores late September. If you wait until mid-October there won't be much left to chose from. Remember, if you want to order some items from shops on etsy you need to order early. Don't order a week or even two weeks before your party and expect to receive it on time. <br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks ago I got to attend a wedding styled shoot in a town I'd never been too. I've lived in Oregon all my life but I've never been to Vernonia. Even though it's only about 40 mins from my house I've never been because there's just never been a reason to. Going to this styled shoot was spur of the moment and I'm glad I went. The drive out was beautiful. Tree lined windy country roads took me into the small town and on to my destination of <a href="https://www.vernoniasprings.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vernonia Springs.</a> As soon as I stepped out of the car, crickets. No really, I heard nothing but crickets. It was fabulous. So peaceful. I just wanted to stay there all day and soak up the sounds of nature. </span></div>

There are several spots you could choose for your wedding site. The pergola area is a great quiet little spot. There is SO much you could do with that pergola. You could decorate it with a few flowers to keep it simple and let all the trees surrounding it do all the talking. Or you could bloom it out with flowers hanging from the top and climbing up the sides. You could drape it in fabric. Add some twinkling lights for an evening wedding. Oh the possibilities. </div>

I just love all the tall pines on this property. You really feel like you're in the middle of no where in the forest. Vernonia Springs isn't just great for weddings. The property is also great for retreats, group parties, family reunions, just because you want to go glamping with your friends. Hold your reception in the pavilion which comes with tables and chairs. </div>

Little details are something I focus on in my parties so of course I noticed all the little details in the pavilion that add to it's charm. The bird houses and the rusty tools hanging from the beam. Comfy Adirondack chairs await your guests who need a break from the dance floor. </div>

If you have some wedding guests who like to stay till the very end they can stay in yurts at the venue. After I came home from the styled shoot I told my husband we should rent one for a weekend and enjoy the quietness of the location. Recharge and refresh. </div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of the yurts are among the trees so it gives you that tent camping in the woods feeling. There's a dock at the lake that is another beautiful ceremony spot. If you choose the dock for your ceremony you'll be surrounded by dragon flies. During the styled shoot there were a lot of dragon flies flying around. We really wanted one to land on the bridal bouquet. What a shot that would have been! </span></div>

<b></b></div>
<br />
I first discovered <a href="https://www.poplandiapopcorn.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Poplandia </a>popcorn at the farmers market. They had samples out which my friend and I tried and we were hooked. We had to buy a bag. So of course when I hosted my first ever <a href="http://www.fizzyparty.com/2016/09/dessert-bar-fizzy-party-trop-fest.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">craft night </a>I had to have their popcorn as part of the dessert bar. I follow them on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/PoplandiaPDX/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram </a> so I can find out about any new flavors and when they had a contest I of course entered and I WON! WooHoo!!!! I'm all about the mini party so when the popcorn arrived I threw a movie night popcorn bar tasting so we could all try the fun flavors.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
To enter the contest you had to say which flavor you've been wanting to try. I said <b>Honey Lavender </b>because it sounded very interesting to me. Poplandia's site says. they infuse their white caramel popcorn with Stash Tea's Breakfast in Paris and extra lavender buds. They then sweeten the caramel popcorn with honey.<br />
<br />
My review- This flavor not only hits the taste buds, it hits the nose as well. As the kernels hit your tongue you get a hint of lavender and because the lavender hits your nose as well it intensifies the flavor. The lavender isn't over powering. It's just the right amount. The honey gives it the perfect touch of sweetness.<br />

If you host your own movie night popcorn bar tasting party be sure to mark the flavors. Using craft paper as a table linen you can write the flavors right on it.<br />

<br />
Included in the package that arrived with the Honey Lavender was several little bags of other flavors.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Hickory Smoked Gouda</span></b>-<br />
Poplandia's site says- We wanted to make sure you really got the true flavor of smoked gouda.<br />
<br />
My review- As soon as I opened the bag the smell of gouda hit my nose. The popcorn was light and fluffy and had a strong cheese taste. I'm not a big fan of gouda or cheesey popcorns but one of my friends is so she happily ate all of it.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Belgian Chocolate</span></b>-<br />
Poplandia's site says they drizzle their sea salt caramel with Belgian milk chocolate.<br />
<br />
My review- You all know I'm not a big chocolate fan. I could go the rest of my life never eating chocolate and would be fine. So I wasn't sure I would like this popcorn. But it was really good. Just the right amount of chocolate was drizzled on the kernels. The chocolate combined with the sweet of the popcorn made it really tasty. <br />

My review- Delicious! This is one of those popcorns that I would eat the whole bag by myself easily. It reminded me of Butter Rum Life Savers and I love those. I'll be sending a bag of this to my friend for her birthday because I know she'll love this.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Mayan Hot Chocolate</span></b>-<br />
Poplandia's site says- Dark chocolate caramel with a cinnamon cayenne kick.<br />
<br />
My review- Definitely chocolate-y with a little bit of heat. I'm not a big chocolate fan but I did like the kick that hits you at the end. If you like chocolate and heat, you'll like this one. If you're like me and not a chocolate fan, you can pass on this one.<br />

<b></b><b></b><u></u><b></b><u></u><br />
If you don't live in Portland you can still try these delicious flavors by ordering from <a href="https://www.poplandiapopcorn.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Poplandia's site. </a><br />
Their bags make great birthday and holiday gifts and their small treat bags are great for wedding favors and welcome baskets. oooh, they would be great to include in your guests bedroom welcome basket too. You know, for when your guests get the munchies late at night.<br />
<br />
Other flavors I can't wait to try-<br />
Orange Sea Salt- Caramel popcorn with citrus orange notes.<br />
Oregon Trail- Sea salt caramel tossed with peanuts, dried tart cherries, salty pretzels and drizzled with chocolate peanut butter sauce.<br />
Pumpkin Spice- White caramel spiced popcorn with toasted pumpkin seeds.<br />
Cake Batter- White caramel and cake flavor topped with sprinkles.<br />

On my way to visit family in Washington I stopped in at <a href="https://www.cupcakes-too.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cupcakes Bakery & Deli</a> in Kennewick, Washington. I didn't have to go too far out of my way to stop here which was great. The bakery is easy to spot thanks to the brightly coloured cupcake on the side of the building. <br />

Owner and baker Milli Banks was there to help me pick out some tasty looking cupcakes. It wasn't easy because they all looked so good. Milli is a bright spot in your day, especially if you're on a long road trip. She has hospitality down pat and will have you going home with more cupcakes than you planned. Which is not a bad thing because her cupcakes are really good and it's hard to just pick one flavor to try.<br />

While I was at the bakery chatting with Milli about her cupcakes and my love of baking cupcakes I tried her signature Dr. Pepper cupcake. Now I happen to like Dr. Pepper so I knew I'd like this cupcake. As I enjoyed the cupcake, Milli told me her daughter doesn't like Dr. Pepper but she likes these cupcakes. I can see why. The cake is moist and has the perfect hint of Dr. Pepper. The frosting melts in your mouth and compliments the cupcakes perfectly. <br />

After having a pleasant conversation about cupcakes and baking I got two to go, a strawberry cheesecake and Milli talked me into a sweet potato. I continued on my way and stopped at one of my favorite rest stops on the way to my families house. This rest stop has a great view to enjoy while eating my cupcakes.<br />

The strawberry cheesecake had a lovely strawberry flavor with a cheesecake filling. The beauty of this cheesecake cupcake is that it's not heavy. The cake is moist and light and the cheesecake filling isn't thick and heavy. It's the perfect consistency.<br />

<br />
When I say Milli talked me into the sweet potato cupcake I mean she sold it so good I had to try it. I don't like sweet potato's. But, Milli said it was one of her most popular and she doesn't always have it on hand because she only uses the best sweet potato's. Well call me a liar because I liked these sweet potato cupcakes. They didn't taste like nasty sweet potato's. In case you don't know, I'm a really picky eater and can't stand the taste of most veggies. The cake of these cupcakes was moist and light flavored and the frosting complimented it beautifully. I scarfed this cupcake down.<br />

Ok, I KNOW the photos aren't the best and all perfect looking. That's what happens when you take the pics in the back prep area of a t.v. station. That's right, this party set up was featured on <a href="https://katu.com/afternoon-live/lifestyle-health/end-of-the-summer-party-tips" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Afternoon Live. </a> You should totally go watch. I give some serious end of summer party tips you'll want to snag. </div>

So this pic is totally washed out. BUT, what I want to point out here is the paper lanterns. They're great for summer parties. They are inexpensive and light and perfect for hanging from tree's or pergolas. Many come with lights that are battery operated so you can extend the party after the sun has gone down. </div>

Bright candies can add some fun to your end of summer parties. Be sure the candy sticks with the theme of your party. I chose a tropical themed end of summer party so I went with bright tropical colourful candy. If it's going to be a hot day when you host your party be sure to set up the candy table indoors. Candy and hot sun don't mix. If you set up your candy bar outdoors on a hot day you'll have a big sticky mess. </div>

When setting up a candy bar be sure to have a variety on hand. Pick a variety of colours, flavors and textures. Cupcakes are always good to have on your dessert table. If you pick up store bought ones dress them up with candy sprinkles and picks matching your theme.<br />

It's easy to add handmade details to your party like this flamingo banner I created. Look for a template of something that matches your theme, trace it out onto card stock and attach to ribbon or clear line with tape. No one is going to see the back and tape is quick and easy. I added a little glitter to the flamingo beak for some fun.<br />

No summer party is complete without some fun photo booth props that match your theme. Everyone loves to take fun photo's that will remind them of all the summer fun with friends when winter hits and it's too cold or wet to host a party outdoors.<br />

Photo props don't have to be expensive. Pick up some fun glasses at dollar shops and party them up by adding glitter. </div>

Whenever we travel I like to try dessert places. So when we went to California in July on a quick trip to adopt two kitties I looked up some places to try in Chico and Torrance where we would be stopping. In Chico I wanted to check out <a href="https://creamnation.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cream</a> and <a href="http://thecookieshoppe.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Cookie Shoppe</a> and in Torrance, <a href="https://ilovecuppies.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cuppies</a>.<br />
<br />
I picked <a href="https://creamnation.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cream<span style="color: #b00000;"> </span></a> because it was close to our hotel, I love ice cream and the ice cream taco looked super yummy! <a href="http://thecookieshoppe.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Cookie Shoppe</a> because the reviews said these were the best cookies and some of them sounded delicious. I'm not a big cookie fan but this place was close to our hotel and I wanted to try the Judy, the Zephyr and the Flying Squirrel.<br />

I only picked one place in Torrance to check out because we would have just picked up the cats. Some of the flavors I waned to try at <a href="https://ilovecuppies.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cuppies</a> were Soda Pop Shop, Payday, Hot Cakes n Bacon and Watermelon.<br />

While I was looking forward to trying all three places we only made it to Cream. The Cookie Shoppe was closed the day we rolled into Chico so we planned to hit it on the way back through.<br />
<br />
7 1/2 drive to Torrance and I was ready for some cupcakes. I was going to pick up some cupcakes first and than pick up the new kitties we were adopting from<a href="https://kittcrusaders.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Kitt Crusaders. </a> But my husband put the address to the foster kitty house into the Garmin so we decided to just go pick up the cats, head to the hotel and spend some time with the cats. <br />
<br />
Meet Austin and Healey. They did amazing in the car! Two 7 1/2 hour days and they were seriously the best car cats ever.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We left Torrance at 5:30 a.m. to head to Chico which is 7 1/2 hours away. Cuppies was not open that early so no cupcakes for me :(<br />
<br />
When we arrived back into Chico I really thought we'd check into the hotel, leave the cats in the room with my man and I'd go get us some food and cookies. But after driving all day I just wanted to spend time with the cats.<br />
<br />
So how was Cream? Lets review.<br />

I wanted to try the ice cream taco. A waffle cone taco shell filled with 3 scoops of ice cream flavors of your choice and fun toppings to choose from. I had planned on getting Royal Caramel Swirl,<br />
Cin-Ful Churro and Coconut and top it with Fruity Pebbles and whipped cream. Hello sugar rush!<br />
<br />

<br />
Sadly I didn't get my ice cream taco. The lady in front of us got the last ice cream taco. So I settled for a scoop of Royal Caramel Swirl. I was so disappointed I forgot to get my Fruity Pebbles and whipped cream topping. I mean, I just drove 7 1/2 hours to try this ice cream taco. Really the trip was to pick up the kitties in Torrance but ya know. I really wanted that ice cream taco!<br />

I love to be creative and social and <a href="http://www.fizzyparty.com/p/events_43.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">workshops</a> are a great way to combine the two. When you attend a <a href="http://www.fizzyparty.com/p/events_43.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fizzy Party craft workshop </a> you do more than just learn a new skill and take home something you created. You're attending a party, making new friends and having a great time. I get to help women who say they're not creative be creative and have fun doing it.<br />

<br />
In June I hosted a succulent workshop in Beaverton at <a href="http://www.lahaciendarealoregon.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">La Hacienda Real</a>. Succulents and Mexican food just go together. It was an intimate group and I thought those that attended would be disappointed that it wasn't a bigger group. I was SO wrong. <br />
<br />

The attendees loved the intimate group. They had so much fun they didn't even have their phones out! Now that's a sign of a great workshop.<br />

I really enjoyed watching the ladies get creative picking out their succulents and making their gardens. One of the big things I teach at my workshops is that there's no wrong way or right way for the craft item to look.<br />
<br />
As long as the person creating the craft likes the way it looks that's all that matters. I don't want the attendees worrying, stressing or trying to make the craft perfect. I want attendees to relax, let the creative juices flow and have fun.<br />

In 2013 I started a new venture and opened an <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/FizzyParty" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">etsy shop.</a> It all started with <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/FizzyParty/items?section_id=17073356" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tulle wreaths </a>I was creating for party bloggers to use in their parties. I expanded the shop to include <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/FizzyParty/items?section_id=17072371" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tulle poms</a>, felt <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/FizzyParty/items?section_id=17072373" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">banners</a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/FizzyParty/items?section_id=17628458" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">glittery items. </a><br />

I opened the shop because I like to craft, it's fun to see my items at peoples parties, you <i>know</i> I love parties and it would be a way to make some money for Fizzy Party.<br />

I've been fortunate that all my customers have been happy with items they've ordered and have received 5 star ratings from them all.<br />
<br />
So why have I been struggling with the decision of whether to keep the shop open or close it?<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I've been told by other bloggers that it doesn't really fit and it's confusing because it doesn't match my blog. </li>
<li>The shop has been open for almost 5 years and I've made 77 sales. That's 15 sales a year. </li>
<li>The shop is the only place I make money for Fizzy Party and with just 15 sales a year, I'm not bringing in much money. It covers my etsy fees and blog domain fees and that's about it. </li>
<li>In order to really have a successful shop you need to really work at it. Pushing the shop consistently, adding new items weekly and having professional photos taken. </li>
</ul>

I've been waffling back and forth between really focusing on the shop and pushing it hard, adding new items and re-doing all the photos or just closing it so I can focus on something else. If I keep the shop open I have to seriously push the shop which will eat into the time I have to bring you party inspiration. If I close the shop I feel like it would open up space for new opportunities. Is keeping the shop open holding me back from pursuing something I was meant to do with Fizzy Party?<br />

I've been thinking this over for a year, longer than I should have. I kept it open because all those 5 star ratings meant happy customers throwing fun parties and weddings. I've decided to close the shop January 1, 2019. I'm hoping to sell all my remaining inventory by years end. So fair warning ;) you'll be seeing a lot more of my shop across social media until the shop closes. <br />

Some of you may be wondering if I feel like I've failed with my etsy shop. I really don't. I know I didn't put as much effort into it as I should have to really make it a success. I had fun crafting items for peoples parties and knowing lots of fun and memories were had at those parties. I got to create things I enjoyed creating but it's time to close this door so another one can open. And I'm not ruling out the possibility of opening the shop again with different items to offer.<br />
<br />
Thank you to all the customers over the years. I truly enjoyed making your items and was so thankful for every purchase made. <br />
