Behind the Scenes at Amy Atlas Events - Kelly Ripa & Electrolux Event Part II

I'm back today with Part II of behind-the-scenes at Amy Atlas for the Kelly Ripa and Electrolux banana splits event. If you weren't here yesterday for Part I, we did some styling and a toppings bar for Kelly Ripa's banana split for a cause campaign for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Here is a sneak peek into the fun part of the event...Kelly and the kids creating their banana splits. I'll be back tomorrow with pictures of our toppings bar. In the meantime, head over here to create a virtual banana split and Electrolux will donate $1 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund for every virtual split created. Okay, on to some behind-the-scenes...

This was Kelly's banana split!


Kelly and the kids. The kids were so happy!


Here they are again...


The kids were ready to make their own splits. Time for ice cream!


Kelly jumped in and helped the kids make their splits. She is just as bubbly and lovely in person as she is on tv. The kids adored her!


Peek-a-boo...


One of the kids grilling Kelly on her banana split ingredients...


How cute is she? Did I tell you how much we adored her?


Can that little girl be anymore excited? Precious!


Finally diving in to the ice cream...


This tastes good!


These kids know good ice cream...


Let's throw some toppings on...


The adults loved it, too!

Behind the Scenes at Amy Atlas Events - Event for Kelly Ripa & Electrolux

I apologize for the delay in posting this week...it's been super busy by us, but this will be well worth it...

I'm back again with some behind-the-scenes at Amy Atlas Events. Yesterday, Kelly Ripa, Electrolux, and Serendipity built banana splits with lots of ecstatic kids at a fabulous banana splits event for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. We were honored to do some styling and create the toppings bar for the event.

A little "scoop" about the event...In celebration of the new stand-alone refrigerator and freezer from Electrolux (that's right, the familiar fridge/freezer duo has “split” up!), Kelly Ripa is building banana “splits” for a cause here. Each day you build your ultimate virtual split, Electrolux will donate $1 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, and you'll be entered for a chance to win the daily prize — $50 towards sweet summer treats — and the grand prize — the new refrigerator and freezer. How great is that? It was particularly special for us to be involved in this event because my staff and I have friends who have been affected with ovarian cancer. Please visit the site to donate to this important cause.

Okay, below are the behind-the-scenes of us setting up. I'm "splitting" my posts from this event into three posts. Come back tomorrow to see behind-the-scenes of Kelly and the kids building banana splits. I'll also show close-ups of the toppings bar!

Here I am checking out the toppings bar...

Here I am on the day of the event frosting ice cream cupcakes...


The Electrolux new split fridge and freezer...pretty nice!


The kids table...there was lots of fun kid entertainment over here like balloon making, drawing, and face painting...


A peek at the banana splits building stations...


Lots of gooey, yummy sauces for the kids!


Sun flooded through the studio. It was really beautiful. Btw, how gorgeous are those hot pink rugs?


The Electrolux set is ready for banana split making with Kelly!


Another peek...


I loved the ice cream cart...


The event is almost ready to start. Kids had step stools by their stations so they could make their banana splits comfortably.


We styled the catering area also...


Lisa and I right before the event...


The AAE crew right before the event...


Joslyn of Simply Lovely was there with her adorable daughter Audrey. I was so happy to finally meet her after knowing her for so long through the blogosphere!


Kids are starting to come..yay!


The kids looked pretty stoked about making banana splits! Wanna see Kelly and the kids making banana splits? Come back tomorrow to get a sneak peek. I'll also show you the toppings bar.

Summer Bicycle Inspired Wedding - Guest Feature

























Esther of My Bride Story sent over these beautiful pictures of a summer bicycle inspired wedding she recently created for a special couple. The styling of this wedding exudes summer, doesn't it? I love the yellow and white check linens, the beautiful floral peony and craspedia arrangements, the lattice fence sundae bar, and of course, all of the bike details! For all of you party hostesses, this summery design need not be limited to weddings. The design would translate well for a mother's day luncheon, a birthday party, or even a lunch with the gals. If these pictures don't unleash your inner party planner, I don't know what will! Simply stunning, Esther!

We'll be back next week with behind-the-scenes of an event we're working on. See you then!
