Running Wild

Greenery, maple leaves, cute bears, and toasting marshmallows by the fire – the ultimate outdoor wilderness party for a 4-year old!
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 Canada?
We hunted around Perth to find lush greenery and somewhere that had similar foliage and trees to what I have seen in Canada. Something with that ‘woods’ feel.
What influenced the theme and styling?
It was my son’s 4th birthday in August and I was planning his birthday party. He is Canadian, Jamaican and Australian! A nice little mix. He loves Canada as much as I do, so I thought it’s the perfect theme for a party – especially when your heart’s in it!
Which DIYs or party trends did you incorporate into your shoot?
A current trend would be Epic Installs’ hanging installations. This is our new business. We hand make and cut every piece ourselves! Everything is reusable and biodegradable, a lot nicer for the environment than crepe paper. A DIY would be the popcorn cups with Kraft paper, and the cute little words with Scrabble pieces glued together.
What is your favourite thing about the USA?
Definitely the Southern states. The soul food, music, culture – love it all!
The Canada Team
