My name is Natalie Mayhew and I am the creative director & founder of Fern & Maple. I love to craft, to DIY and to create parties for both adults and children – or as I like to put it, “for bigs and littles alike.”

I was born in Wellington, New Zealand, and although I have ventured far from my Kiwi roots, I remain inspired by childhood memories of "acting" as an event stylist for my mom’s get-to

gethers and hours spent rummaging through antique sales and up-cycling found objects with my dad. My blog includes party ideas, tips, tricks and crafts I enjoy trying out and hope you will too. I live in Portland with my (ever tolerant of my hoarding!) husband, David, my two gorgeous and crazy children, Harrison and Parker, and our chocolate lab, Elsa.

A graduation gift they’ll actually remember. 🎓

A plain vase, some foam core and black cardstock — and suddenly you have a DIY grad cap filled with everything they love.

Florals, their tassel, grad balloons, photos and gift cards all in one.
The trick? Floral picks. They let you tuck photos and gift cards straight into any floral arrangement — game changer for gifting season.

I got everything from Michaels — even the mini grad photo frames & gift card envelopes. All linked in my bio.

this might be the coolest thing I’ve ever done with our basement ⚽

our usual hangout spot just became match day headquarters.

everything is from — GOAL balloons, flags of the world, favor boxes, soccer balls and Twizzler red cards (the only ones allowed at this party!)

one tip — layer grass mats, tablecovers and tablecloths on every surface. suddenly the whole room feels like a soccer pitch.

save this for watching the next big soccer match 🏆
