Ballet Birthday Party



This ballet birthday party created by Melissa is the definition of lovely. We have not once seen a ballet party anywhere as charming as this one, and it is a delight to be able to share it with you.




Every detail of the party was carefully designed, and her beautiful photos speak a thousand words.

Melissa set the theme with a beautiful pink, ballet-themed invitation, to match the soft pink, green and white color scheme of the entire event. We don't know who wouldn't want to attend a party with an invitation as darling hers!





Note the ballet-themed decor in the beautifully set tea room, with pale pink, green and white dishes, white linens, white garden chairs and a lovely display of ballet-inspired sweets.



Pink tulips made for lovely centerpieces-simple, and classic.



Take a closer look at some of these ballet slipper and tutu sweets.





Three tiers of treats adorned with pink satin ribbon makes these meringues even more lovely.



Tulle, petit fours, floral gold-rimmed china, a dainty combination.



We love how tulle is used throughout the event design, softly emphasizing the ballet theme.




The lovely birthday girl.



A sweet birthday cake!



Check out the darling glass mugs and pretty punch.



Beautiful tutus, and on her blog, you can get the tutorial to create your own!



The girls looked to thoroughly enjoy the ballet class!



Twirling, dancing, enjoying life!



You can view all the photos and details on this lovely ballet tea party on Melissa's beautiful blog (entitled "A Little Loveliness"--proper fit, don't you think?).

Some images from her ballet recital dinner, too beautiful not to share.





A tremendous thank you Melissa, for allowing us to share your party and incredible event designing skills to inspire others! We look forward to featuring more of your events in the future!

Marie Antoinette First Birthday Party



Stunning is the best word to describe the images you are about to see of Amelia's "Marie Antoinette"-inspired first birthday party.




Mandy created an incredibly beautiful, romantic celebration for her daughter's first birthday.



From gorgeous decor to a beautifully styled menu; from the prettiest gift wrap to a birthday dress and hat sure to be stowed away carefully to be preserved and kept as a cherished family heirloom.





This party is full of style, it seems to be a stunning representation of
Mandy--once you go to her blog, we have a feeling it will be awhile before you leave. Her style is quite extraordinary, and images are spectacular.

The colors seen throughout are many shades of pink, from warm peach tones to brighter hues, with a pop of soft aqua here and there. Beautiful!



Amelia was adorned in a stunning birthday gown wearing a rococo-style hat, and her high chair decorated in lovely fabrics.



Take a gander at the precious shoes she wore, simply charming.



A beautiful vintage lampshade adorned with beautiful pale aqua ribbon reinforced the color-scheme, and added a very romantic feel to the decor.



Lovely large romantic blooms filled up an urn on the table.



Mandy's creativity with food is amazing.



A sweet mother-daughter moment!



The bold colors are especially striking against the softer table linens and decor.



Even the gift wrap was well-thought out, styled and executed to perfection.





From ribbons to roses, the packages were decorations in and of themself.





There is something endearing about the one featuring a hand-written message on a doily.




Yearning for more? View more details on this Marie Anoinette-inspired, romantic and beautiful first birthday party on Mandy's blog here.

Thank you Mandy, for sharing with us your amazing talents and beautiful sense of style. We look forward to seeing what you have in store in the future!

Vintage "Fun With Dick and Jane"-Inspired Birthday Party



This fabulous vintage "Fun With Dick And Jane"-inspired birthday party is full of inspiring images for your next event.




Lindsey and Kori put together a spectacular birthday celebration (photographed beautifully by Courtney Vickers). You should know these two moms work together fusing their party planning talents, and recently launched their own shop showcasing their graphic design skills, at PaperandPigtails, and we are such a fan of their work on this party!

Lots of red, light blue and white was used throughout the party, however there are splashes of yellow that really pops--an incredibly cheerful combination!




Vintage toys, such as a "Radio Flyer" red wagon, sock monkeys, jacks and blocks, were used as decorations and centerpieces, emphasizing the theme.




Jacks were incorpated at the place settings for a playful eating space!



The birthday cake incorporated a toy for a topper, and reinforced the red, light blue and white color-scheme. An incredibly simple design for a stunning appearance.




Kori hand-painting blocks that spell out "Finn" for the sweet display table--these look fabulous!



There is something amazing about the vintage ferris wheel and old fashioned candy sticks in mason jars that really strikes our fancy!



From cookies and milk (served with vintage straws--because everything tastes better out of a straw, right?) to cupcakes adorned with sock monkey toppers created by Kori & Lindsey, make for a feast for the eyes.





Animal crackers and Bazooka Bubble Gum are amoung the many longtime favorite treats children could fill their darling vintage-inspired favor totes with to take home.



After eating all those treats, anyone who became thirsty had their selection of beverages in bottles (with custom labels created by these talented moms) which were displayed in the most stylish fashion.






Thank you Lindsey and Kori, for truly fabulous party inspiration!

We fell in love with the charming and sweet vintage Strawberry Shortcake-inspired birthday party Jessica threw for her daughter Grace's third birthday, and are thrilled to share it with you!

Every detail of the party tied in with the color scheme of red, pink and green.



Jessica made the sweetest party hats, which the entire family wore! These are some of the cutest hats we have ever seen, berry cute!



The cake was a strawberry house, personalized for Grace.



Vintage candy cups held color-coordinated sweets, to further emphasize the vintage style of the party.



The birthday girl looked like a little miss strawberry herself, and you can tell she adored every detail of the party her mom created.



A darling pair of strawberry rainboots filled with pink flowers added a fun vibe, incorporating not just a favorite vintage character's face but also strawberries, throughout the party.



Not only is this photo cute, but check out the little strawberry below it!




Jessica did not skimp on favors, check out the darling red buckets and pink-trimmed tins with custom printed labels and lots of red and pink sweets!
