This was a super fun event put on in partnership with Kid Fun Houston for Houston blog followers! Frozen is still everywhere!! And when Beth asked me to design a party around the movie in the heat of summer, I wanted to take it in a fun, different direction. So, we married fun tropical concepts with the characters of Frozen! Hope you love it!

Camilla's Tropical Flamingo 1st Birthday Party

7/21/2015

0 Comments

 
Camilla’s 1st flamingo birthday party was fitting considering the tropical, humid climate here in Houston during the heat of summer! When putting together the party’s details, we wanted to include traditional tropical details with a bit of whimsy, including age appropriate décor and activities for not only the birthday girl and her guests, but their older siblings.

Some details to look for include:
-Pineapple floral arrangements
-Pineapple cake ball pops
-Amazing 2 tier tropical flamingo birthday cake
-Donut hole towers
-Custom 1st year monthly photo display
-Flamingo sand bucket favors

Main Dessert Table
The centerpiece of this adorable dessert table is the 2 tier fondant cake by Whoo’s Bakery sitting atop a pink patterned gift wrap runner and teal table cloth base. For a touch of whimsy (and every kiddos’ favorite), we flanked the cake with two donut hole towers. On either end of the table were tropical floral arrangements sitting in carved out pineapples. To continue with the fun pineapple concept, we displayed pineapple cake ball pops on two pedestals.

Children’s Tables
To offer some color contrast, the children’s tables were covered in pink table cloths. Wide tropical floral arrangements topped with none other than pink plastic flamingos served as whimsical centerpieces. And, each place setting housed fun plastic sand buckets with flamingo decals which served as play toys during the party and their party favor.

Stella's Summer Sunshine Birthday Party

7/16/2015

0 Comments

 
One of my favorite things to do is partner with a mom to help her bring the party theme together on budget. Stella's mommy reached out to me for our DIY Party plan just 10-14 days or so before the big event with a color scheme and "sunshine concept". Our DIY plans provide a detailed description of how to set up the party, which items to order online or pick up locally, dessert designs, suggested party activities and party favor ideas within the stated budget. The mommy then picks everything up or orders online and sets it up the day of the party. I ended up popping over for 20 minutes to help at the last minute for this party as her mommy was very pregnant and needed a hand :).

Some of the fun summer DIY ideas we used for this sweet party included:

-Daisies in Dollar Tree sand buckets as centerpieces (that the kids can re-use after the party)
-We added a white runner to the already reserved yellow tablecloths to add some dimension
-Party snacks were simple and sweet: watermelon pops, popcorn and daisy cupcakes designed in the party's colors
-Stella's dad constructed the super cute lemonade stand where guests could serve themselves
-Party activities centered around water as Houston is HOT this time of year: slip and slide, spinkler, water balloons, etc.

We hope you enjoy this simple, sweet summer party!

Julieta's Hawaiian 2nd Birthday Party

7/6/2015

0 Comments

 
Sweet Julieta’s Hawaiian 2nd birthday party was a huge hit, held the morning of the 4th of July!! We focused on bright colors, traditional Hawaiian fun items, modern elements and a bit of whimsy when creating this party’s overall design.

Some details to look for include:
-Handmade tissue flowers on the table’s backdrop
-Pineapple cake ball pops
-Stunning 2 tier cake with handmade sugar flowers
-Pineapple floral centerpieces
-Pineapple & coconut sippy cups

Main Dessert Table
We wanted this table to be ‘colorful’ and Hawaiian inspired. The backdrop was a simple roll of bamboo fencing standing up behind the banquet table. The table was skirted with a simple grass skirt. Green & white patterned gift wrap served as the runner. The beautiful cookies which were designed in likeness to the printable images were displayed on bamboo placemats. The centerpiece of the table was the brightly colored 2 tier cake decorated with handmade sugar flowers. Flagging either side of the cake were perfect pineapple cake ball pops. And lining the outer edges of the table were fun pineapple sippy cups for the kiddo to grab.

Children’s Tables
We wanted to keep these tables clean and modern. So, we highlighted simple white table cloths with bright green palm ferns, floral arrangements sitting in pineapple bases and alternating pink and green leis hanging from the chair backs.

Party Activities
Guests enjoyed dressing up in Hawaiian attire (i.e. hats, leis, flower hair pins and hula skirts), jumping in the Bounce House, and floating in the pool. To cool off, they headed over to the ice cream bar provided by Pinkberry!
