Winter is still very much in full force here in the Pacific NW. In fact this week we are supposed to have record lows and 2-3 feet of snow (great for boarding!). It makes me want to cuddle up inside this tablescape again. I've been dying to post some of the photos of our cranberries and cream, yarn inspired tablescape which was featured on Forget Me Knot Wedding a couple of weeks ago. Rachael (Lace and Likes) and I really wanted to collaborate on a project together and probably more than anything just have an excuse to meet up. We had a blast planning out projects for our table and having both recently moved to Oregon decided to focus on all things warm and cozy for our first winter.
We had planned to have the shoot outside and had all kinds of ideas for using the outdoor space but rainy weather forced us to stay indoors which worked out just fine in our cozy fireplace room.

We handcrafted all the goodies for our tablescape including the yarn wrapped bottles, the yarn/nail table numbers, yarn wrapped initials, lots of yarn poms, cranberry garlands, God's eyes and all the finishing touches.
The yarn wrapped bottles are so cool and it's such an easy project
We even made holiday sangria from Sprouted Kitchen - check out the recipe here.
These table numbers are quick and easy and would be great for a Fall or Winter wedding
And my favorite part - the smores and the Mexican hot cocoa station. We gave our smores a twist with ginger snaps and spicy dark chocolate and used fancy marshmallows from 240 Sweet in salted caramel, bacon maple toffee and praline - YUM!
The best part is after the shoot Rachael and Noah and Keith and I all got to sit down together at our table and enjoy a nice dinner next to the fire and of course we had to drink and eat our props!
We had a lots of left over yarn that we had planned to string in the trees outside but since we moved indoors we created the coolest yarn installation that we hung from the back window. We loved it so much it's actually still hanging up in the house!
This was such a fun project and gets me excited for the next one we scheme up together. Rach and I are actually just starting to work on ideas for upcoming projects now so I hope to share a teaser soon.
