This styled shoot is part of Confetti Fair's United States of Party collaboration; a collection of 23 unique parties and events – all inspired by a US location.
What inspired you to choose Alaska?
Alaska and Brisbane are worlds apart in both climate and landscape, so we were very excited to find the pop-up igloo bars that Customs House sets up during the winter months along the Brisbane River.
What was the inspiration for the theme and styling?
I was inspired by Alaska’s igloo hotels with clear curved windows, and the trend of remote destination weddings. We also wanted to create a bridal shower celebration that could be transported, set up and styled anywhere in the world.
Which DIYs or party trends did you incorporate into your shoot?
This destination bridal shower only uses items that could be packed in a suitcase for a destination event. All the partyware and decorations are DIY, from the air-inflated balloon garland to the bonbon favours. Easy to put together, these items can be taken with you to any destination so you can fully plan and style the event before you leave and easily set up when you arrive!
What is your favourite thing about the USA?
The USA is full of diversity in themes, styles and cultures –which is also what we loved most about being involved with the United States of Party magazine!
