Despite a severe wind storm days before the party, and living in the middle of sunny California, Gwynn of Gwynn Wasson Designs managed to create an over the top magical winter ONEderland for her son Beckett’s first birthday. As guests arrived they were ushered in by a “committee” of penguins holding polka dot balloons and greeted by huge welcome sign. Once inside there were plenty of sweet treats to keep guests smiling and a “warming station” with hot chocolate and coffee to keep them toasty while playing in the snow.
Yes, I said snow…in California. This must have been the biggest treat for the unsuspecting guests. Gwynn (with the help of her husband) created a giant “snow box” filled with real shaved ice/fake snow that guests could play in. For an added touch of whimsy, penguin beach balls were added to the snow box. When everyone was all tired out they definitely didn’t go home empty handed. Each lucky guest got to adopt a polar bear and take a snow making kit so that they could have their very own snow day whenever they felt like it!
