Cheese Shop Fete by Styled Creative + Red Balloon PR

June 28th. 2010 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 27 comments

Okay, so this isn’t exactly a wedding. But it was such a cute little fete that I thought it would be perfect inspiration for your rehearsal dinner, an engagement party or even a bridesmaids luncheon. Designed by Philadelphia based Styled Creative for Nicole of Red Balloon PR’s cute husband, it’s full of adorable details that you’ll love. I’m already planning a little party inspired by this, with fresh from the garden gorgeousness and more cheese than a girl could ever dream of. Sounds amazing, right?  Click here to see even more!

We held this super cute party for my husband in celebration of his new job. The party was at Old City Cheese Shop in Philadelphia and was styled and planned by Beka Rendell and Kimberly Fink of Styled Creative – geniuses those girls, I tell ya, pure and amazing genius. Guests were invited to the party with hand delivered round wooden cheese containers and opened them to find the invitation, silk-screened on cheesecloth. The cheesecloth design was done by Onawa Designs as were these amazing personalized placemats with cheese sketches. The gorgeous ranunculus were from the very talented Katherine Patty Warden at TableArt. The cheese shop has a screen inside so after a lovely meal, we moved inside for dessert and to watch episodes of The Office and eat popcorn. Guests were given peach-baskets filled with cheese, olives, marcona almonds, and baguette. The stunning photos are by Nicole Polk Photography.

    This would even be perfect for a guy's birthday party...one of the big ones like 30 or 40.

    Oh, my! I love it- I've bookmarked it for inspiration for a little engagement dinner I want to throw two of my friends next month. We just hung similar looking lights from our pergola last night! Perfection!

    I am literally obsessed with this. Mostly because I've always wanted to have a wine-and-cheese engagement party and this has given me the most wonderful inspiration to carry through with it! It's everything I've always imagined: it's a little luxurious, beautiful, tasty, and grown-up. And there's string lights, my fave :)

    Absolutely Gorgeous! Love the detail and design. Especially the white cake stands down the table with the food displayed so perfectly and the bright pops of color in the beautiful jars! What a fun party!

    This looks like a cheese lovers heaven - definitely conjures the feeling of being at a private bistro just outside of paris for a lovely party!

    Haha, I worked as a waitress at this little cheese shop!! I really did a double-take when I looked at the pictures. The flowers and styling made everything look beautiful!

    You can actually find the string lights at Target right now depending on how long of a strand you need.

    Gorgeous, no doubt. I'd go so far as to say a party dream come true. But, it would be useful to know pricing behind some of it.
