Little Bird Party

Laurie of Feather and Fray always has gorgeous work to show, and this Little Bird themed 2nd birthday party is no exception. Her eye for elegance and sophistication showed through fantastically in every aspect of this sweet event.

Emphasis was placed on a lovely melon shade that really accented the room beautifully. For a backdrop on the dessert table a window was used, offering bright natural lighting which is always a plus. For a soft effect a beautiful mash-up of fabric strips were patterned together over the window. With a range of patterns, textures along with white and melon colors, this backdrop was exquisite. Feathers were spread throughout the ribbons as well, giving it a sweet finishing touch.

The table was covered with a vintage lace cloth, giving the image elegance that was detailed and lush. Using gorgeous arrangements of light colored flowers, the table had a natural element that went smoothly with the Little Bird theme. Each food was placed with precision that ensured ease of use for every guest as they lined up. With varying levels of trays, the food was excellently displayed and a breeze to access.

All of the dishes used for holding the snacks were a bright white, so the colors of the food really stood out vibrantly. The only dish that was not white was for the birthday girl. In the soft themed color, this tray displayed a single decadent cupcake with two little candles that any little one could love.

The large cake was a tasty centerpiece all by itself with immaculate detailing that was sure to give a lasting memory to the guests. With one giant layer frosted in yummy white, this cake was simple and elegant. It was topped with a lovely setting of melon and white flowers, edible, that made a wonderful finishing touch.

Vanessa Grant Events did a spectacular job creating this Jack & Jill inspired birthday party for Jackie and Will’s 2nd birthday. With a perfect blend of pinks and blues, an elegant and gender friendly venue made a real splash.

Using the windows for a backdrop, natural lighting made the snack table light up with sweet color. Hung right in front of the lovely windows were two fantastically made silhouettes, each representing one of the little ones birthday with an & sign between them.

The snack table was elegantly decorated with a wonderful, layered ruffle white tablecloth that made a bright setting for all the sweet treats arranged on it. The snacks chosen for the party were an arrangement of delicious breakfast type items, one being little cups packed with yummy organic fruits and berries, in the center of each was a melon cut into a little crown as toppers. Each cup was personalized with lovely decorations in gold and polka dots with matching wooden spoons that were embellished with birthday boy and girl’s initial. There were also fantastic muffins that had a fun looking topping, each was wrapped in a paper made bow for a unique and lovely look.

One fun activity set out for all the guests to join in on was a coloring card that everyone could make their own way. Glitter crayons were given for an adorable way to craft their work.

Other adorable touches included a sweet crown filled with pink and blue treats, sugar cookies frosted to look like pails, wells, crowns and more, and even a wonderful tassel banner that stood out beautifully.

The cake set-up was perfection, three different options were made to really emphasize the theme, one for Jill, one for Jack and a center one that was three-layers of elegance. Each of the smaller cakes were placed on the ends of the snack table and had adorable crowns to represent pink and blue perfectly. The three-tiered cake in the center stole the show with a precisely, golden polka-dotted look that was absolutely remarkable. It was surrounded with delicious looking cake-pops with gold glitters.

Sweet Shoppe Birthday Party

This Sweet Shoppe Birthday party brought together by Bethany of Hissyfits Photography, had a multitude of elements that could entertain any kid for hours. With such a fun theme, she was able to use a wide arrangement of treats and bright colors to create a masterpiece for her child to remember forever.

Her original idea had been to use a Candyland theme, which would also be wonderful but changing to a Sweet Shoppe idea opened up a lot of other options that Bethany took advantage of.

True to the abundance of candy you would find at a treat store, a bar of snacks was set up for all the kids to pick their favorites from. It was chock-full of options, ensuring that every child would find some delicious sweet to treasure. To add even more color and fun, the countertop was decorated with adorable garland that was found at Hobby Lobby. For a sentimental touch, cute little photos were precisely placed for everyone to see who the celebration was all about. For the beverage, a wonderful raspberry lemonade was made, in a light color so a little mess would be just fine! There were even sandwiches, ensuring that the kids would be able to munch on something healthy in addition to all the wonderful treats.

A cute array of decorations were used to add fun to the party room including a fantastic banner that spelled out Sweet Shoppe that had each individual letter tied together in cute little ribbons and tulle. Another neat decoration was a flag banner that was draped across a fabulous fireplace that spelled out the birthday girl’s name in wonderful, colorful patterns.

With a spread of balloons and crepe paper distributed around the room this party was a rainbow of decor and snacks that was certain to impress.

Candy Bar stylist A & L Ambientaciones Infantiles y Candy Bar definitely knows how to put on a whimsical birthday party, and utilizing the magical theme of “Polka Dot Minnie Mouse” made a recent event tons of fun. With a blue sky backdrop and tons of pink, this birthday party was full of joy and a splendidly good time.

In the center of the table was a large assortment of tiny replicas of white flower pots with miniature pink flowers—each with small signs that read happy wishes for the birthday girl. A white, wooden wagon sat in front of the flower pots and it held dozens of individually gold-foil wrapped chocolates with Minnie Mouse’s face on the top of each. Another white framed sign with an image of Minnie Mouse and birthday greetings to the birthday girl was set up nearby, and two big buckets of coral sugar drops were on each side of the table. Oversized candy bars with personalized foil wrap and more pictures of Minnie Mouse were great favors for the guests to take with them, while party bags full of sweet starburst candies were available as well. More sugar plum candies in a variety of colors were presented as shish kabobs with a Minnie Mouse topper and big, round lollipops were wrapped in doily paper and tied up with baby pink tulle and ribbon.

With a happy mix of yummy treats, sweet colors, and an atmosphere fit for a little princess, this polka dot Minnie Mouse party was a perfect way to celebrate a birthday and was nothing short of magical.
