Carnival Wedding Ideas

I just couldn’t resist sharing this precious photo shoot that appeared in the January 2011 issue of Charlotte Wedding magazine with you!  I loved it from the second I set my eyes on it. The whimsical county fair details are too cute, and the sweets table and menu of mini fair food are so delectable.  Perfect inspiration for a carnival themed wedding, or a fun birthday party!

How’s this for some unique uses of ideas you might have seen – a cupcake liner garland is transformed into monograms, and bunting serves as a seating chart!

Now this is a menu I can get behind!  Miniature version of southern staples like chicken cordon bleu lollipops, pork belly corndogs, fried chicken and waffles, sweet potato fries, and hot dogs.  And for dessert?  Banana split and PB&J cheesecake lollipops, cotton candy shooters, candied apples, and wedding cake of course!
