I’ll just do a quick write up for this post – because the images really speak for themselves!  A million THANK YOU’s to Diana of diana marie photography who came out to shoot this event for me!

This June, one of my sisters threw her husband a surprise 40th birthday party at my big sisters property in Corbett, OR. My big sisters property is so stinkin’ gorgeous!! Her beautiful home, covered in vines growing up the walls, perfectly manicured garden, gorgeous views of the Columbia River Gorge and surrounded by lush forest, was the perfect setting for a Woodland Inspired celebration with an intimate yet masculine tablescape.  I used moss covered wood cookies and firewood from my sisters house, brown paper and twine wrapped fern plants and candles, and chunks of moss and white river rocks.  This all looked amazing against a soft burlap table linen, white ceramic dinnerware and farm house style kitchen towels for guest napkins. We really tried to stay away from flowers on this one, to keep in masculine, and I think I pulled it off!

Enjoy the detail photos Diana took, and check out my sisters amazing garden at the end of the post!
