Summer is the season for outdoor parties – and what could be more fun than a Garden Party? I recently collaborated with Mapleview Centre and four of my favourite bloggers on a Garden Party themed photoshoot.

| (Items c/o Mapleview Centre) Dress: Free People / Clutch: Aldo / Floral Crown (+DIY): Forever21 (similar) |
The first part of our project was figuring out what to wear to a Garden Party. We wanted our outfits to coordinate, so we focused on a blush pink/cream/lace colour palette. Luckily there were many pretty options to choose from at Mapleview Centre. I started with my usual favourites (ZARA, H&M and Forever 21) but also visited stores that I don’t usually shop at. This turned out to be SUCH a good idea, because I found this Free People lace dress on clearance at The Bay. Its regular price is CAD$232 – but I paid $92!!! My ALDO bag is a bejeweled minaudiere from their bridal party selection. ALDO came out with a similar clutch a couple of years ago, but it sold out quickly, so I was very happy to have snapped it up this time around. For my floral crown, I used a base from Forever21 and modified it by adding in some extra flowers.
I love how all our outfits were similar but not identical – with each reflecting our individual styles. To see where my fellow Garden Party
Bloggers found their outfits – click through to their blog posts ( The Minted Mama / Renee M. LeBlanc / Sparkle Shiny Love / Nelle Creations ).
Our photoshoot took place at a park in Burlington – we had so much fun working together! Candace brought along her grandmother’s vintage tea cups to use as props – and now I’m inspired to start my own tea cup collection!
