If you never seen or heard of Wicked the musical check their site for more info [click here]. We love the musical. A very surprisingly pleasant story about friendships, womenhood, and love. What a fitting theme for a birthday.
So we wanted the decor to represent both main characters in the musical the wicked witch (Elphaba) and the good (Glenda). Elphaba was viewed as the wicked witch because she was "different". Glenda loves to make people happy. Though they were opposite in personalities they were forced together as roommates at school.
In the room we had green and black to illustrate Elphaba. Pinks and white to represent Glenda. The signs we posted throughout the room are titles of songs from the play. The favors were $1 mugs from Michael's that have stamped vintage images that reminded me of the play (see image below for examples).
Food was a combination of Guapo Catering and some from our guests. The giant cupcake cake was made by Caketastic Designs. What's cuter than a big cupcake? It was sooo yummy. We love how she used a solid chocolate wrapper base. A technique similar to this.
Originally we planned a mock photoshoot but since the only day we had available to shoot was the day before my birthday we've decided to make it a pre-celebration. Our guests were 20 of my closest family and friends, which may be a lot for some people... but for me that just the bare minimum.
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as we loved putting it together. To see more check our FB Page.
