Black, White and Lime Wedding Details

This past weekend was a wonderfully intimate Black, White and Lime green wedding. As promised, we can now unveil the invitations and many of the other details that Fig & Ruby contributed!

I'd like to say this photo is blurry to protect the details of the people involved...but it is actually just blurry due to my lack of photography skills and my mediocre camera!

The ring bearer and flower girl held these stylish items.

Little details make a big difference at a wedding. The details bring it all together and create the completed look. Wedding photographers love to take pictures of the small things.

Exciting News at Fig & Ruby!!

We are so happy to announce that there is new life growing at Fig & Ruby!

Colleen and family are expecting baby #5!!

Bug Party

This party was so much fun to plan! The bug theme was so cute for a large crowd of young children. The boys and the girls had a blast hunting for (plastic)bugs!

A first birthday baby looks so cute with a matching bib and a cute party hat!

The "smash cake" is another fun element exclusive to the first birthday...who doesn't love to see the birthday child dig in to their very own cake???

All of these details really complete the look of a first birthday and allow for awesome pictures!!

Personalized bug catchers for the boys.

For the girls, butterfly nets to hold their bugs.

Check out all the fun bugs on this cake!

The kids had a blast picking them off and eating the bugs!

Tinkerbell Birthday Bliss

Tinkerbell has made her way back into the hearts of little girls (and grown up ones) everywhere! Most toy stores have cute plates and napkins and other accessories with her image. Want to go a step (or two) further? We can help!!!

Ah! It is a living room transformed into a fairy wonderland! What could be better in the eyes of a Tink fan?

Fun cookie craft- Providing projects for guests to do becomes essential as children get to be school-aged. This helps all children to feel included and engaged as well as giving them a structured activity to enjoy and remember as opposed to being left to run around for two hours.

Cute personalized "name pins" - Having name tags might seem like an old tradition but it is a nice touch which lets each guest know they were expected and allows them to feel like they are a part of the party.

Decor is never essential but it does make a world of difference! The look on a child's face when they enter a decorated room is priceless. Filling a room with wonder and excitement is such a special touch!

Fairyland Decor - NOW AVALIBLE! We are now offering Fairyland Decor as a rental item! Please contact us today for details.

Tinkerbell makeovers for 20 anyone? Anything is possible! With a bit of brainstorming and a little thinking outside the box, your Tinkerbell party can have those adorable plates and napkins PLUS so much more!!

These photo cards are handy for birth announcements, party invitations and holiday cards.

At the ice cream social the children each got

an ice cream shaped package of bubbles with their name on it.

Kids do not need a bag full of candy and junky toys. It's fun to hunt for the perfect fun, functional and totally personalized favors!

These shirts were for the birthday girl's two sisters.

Embellished tops - what better way to distinguish which kids belong with the birthday baby!

We can jazz up a shirt for your guest of honor as well...the possibilities are endless!

Flower Girl Fabulous-ness

Flower girl baskets are so ho-hum. Spice it up for the littlest member of your party with one of these adorable options. All original and created by Fig & Ruby, you will not see these items anywhere else. Call for details today!!

Ladybugs...who can resist?

The ladybug theme is adorable for a little girl's party, for a baby shower, or even for a grown up girl's party! We incorporated daisies into this theme and it turned out so cute!

Oftentimes a mom will order cupcakes for the "kid party" and a cake to be on display at the kid party but to be eaten at the "family party". This is a great idea and we can accommodate whatever your need may be!

Check out those personalized cups...what a great way to keep track and avoid wasting! this is actually a great tip for grown ups as well!

Hand painted ladybugs came with games for this mom to conduct with the kids at her daughter's party. We love games, they are such an essential party of a party for preschool and school aged kids. Let us take the stress of figuring all the games out! We can supply you with everything you need!

ladybug activities:

-pin the spot on the bug

-bug hunt

-guess how many spots

-nail painting (red polish, black dots)

When the kids walk in and see a beautifully set table, they know the party is going to be special! We are available to set up your event and be sure every detail is looked after so that all you have to do is follow your little one around and enjoy the day!

Pin the spot on the ladybug, another great Fig & Ruby original game!
