It takes a village, ESPECIALLY in the event planning world. When we were coming up with a name for House of Fete, we wanted to make sure it signified a “home” for all those we worked with. Let us tell you, not only do we have the best of vendors, but they are officially FRIENDors.

House of Fete was asked to again design a set for Care Bears, but this time, for Christmas! You know our heart was instantly bursting at the news and we could not wait to plan this! There is nothing more we love at the holidays than color! 

Can you believe Thanksgiving is in a little over a week!? The past couple of months have been so crazy over here, making all the magic, but we couldn’t forget Thanksgiving! Last year we had the best time doing the ultimate “FRIENDSgiving” but this year we wanted to go a bit more upscale, with a rainbow twist of course.

Fourth of July holds a special place for us at House Of Fete as it marks the anniversary of our first styled shoot as a company.  As with every shoot, we wait for something that inspires us to create.  This time it was a plate design from Rice and was the catalyst to our Modern Americana 4th of July Shoot. The simple stripe design was both Modern and Traditional without being overtly either.

The inspiration came from an authentic Mexican Fiesta. When we think of Cinco de Mayo is traditionally not celebrated in Mexico, with the exception on Puebla, that being said because it is so well known in the states, we wanted to present it in a way that is authentic to Mexico.

We were planning another party at the beginning of January and we had some time to kill. We stopped into a local antique shop and stumbled upon some amazing items. We found a set or mirrored name plates with tiny flowers and knew we had to have them. We then found a box of vintage handkerchiefs and an idea was born. A vintage inspired Easter tea party was in our future and we couldn’t wait to start planning. Being the time of year in California we wanted to shoot in the almond blossoms. We found Golden Ranch just outside of Tracy and it was the perfect location. 

This was a real party, which made it extra special… Tristian’s party was really inspired by a Glitterville blimp and the images Marissa captured of carousels while on her trip to Paris.  Marissa really wanted to create that feeling you get when you see a circus or carnival inspired party but this time, merry the two, after all they are both similar. So of course Marissa got to work finding images and creating a mood board and color palette that had a vintage feel but incorporated our bright signature style, and we believe that we did.
