Rocky Mountain Camping Party

ROCKY MOUNTAIN CAMPING PARTY

BY LATOYA SCARBRO AND TWYLA RICHARDSON-THOMAS – CONFETTI DUST STUDIO PHOTOS BY KSHARP MEDIA

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.

The Rocky Mountain National Forest is the perfect inspiration for any camp-out party. Throw in some delicious cake, cupcakes and teepees, and great outdoors here we come.

What inspired you to choose Colorado?

We were inspired by the outdoors of Colorado. Colorado is ranked as one of the best states in America for camping. We chose a camp-themed party, and we wanted to incorporate the natural elements of our surroundings and create a space that evoked a real campsite.

What influenced the theme and styling?

We wanted to use lots of earthy colours, but also decided to add a modern twist to our set-up by incorporating the black and white stripes to mimic camping tents. Of course, it was only fitting to also tie in buffalo check patterns throughout the installation to give it a cosy camping feel. We added small pockets of bright colours – yellow and red on the cupcakes and cake that depicted campfire flames.

Which DIYs or party trends did you incorporate into your shoot?

Party planners have started creating play areas for children in their party set-ups. These areas are fantastic because they add an extra element to the party set-up and they encourage play. The tents not only add to the overall theme of the party but also a ct as an area for children to run wild with their imagination during the party. Candy stations are popular, and they are still trending! However, we decided to create a trail mix station with a variety of snacks for the little ones and the par ents. The trail mix station was fitting for the camp theme and we wanted to of fer a variety of snacks for the little ones.

What is your favourite thing about the USA?

The diversity of people and melting pot of cultures.
