I can’t believe the new school year is here again! I had so much fun styling this Back to School Vintage Schoolhouse Party! We held the party in front of THE cutest old brick schoolhouse! The location couldn’t have been more perfect!
Some of the A+ elements from this back to school party include the following:
- Chalkboard banner and yellow desk
- School supply faux cake with pencils, rules, and more
- Giant marquee ABC’s
- Scrumptious cupcakes
- Vintage chalkboard
The darling dresses that the models are wearing were provided by the lovely online children’s clothing shop, Lolly Kate. The awesome metal ABC and 123 lights were provided by Vintage Marquee Lights.

Hello,
I looked and looked for a link to buy the green cursive Penmanship chalkboard. Can you please let me know where to find it?
Thanks!

So glad I happened upon your site. Cute school – I thought it might be in Utah, then saw that you live in Utah. Just curious – can you tell me the name of the city where it is located?
Thanks.
I love this whole theme. Executed wonderfully! I am having a difficult time in locating a supply of the short red rulers. Everything I’ve found is an assortment of various colors. Can you please direct me to a source where I weigh be able to order them? Thanks!
