thepartyhop-stargazing-01

Starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight…

We probably all knew this memorable little poem by heart from about the time we are old enough to have a sense of whimsy about us. Which makes it the perfect thing to inspire a party for little ones! Wishing on a star while laid out on a blanket gazing up at the heavens sounds like the perfect way to spend an evening while making a few memories.

Sara of Confetti Sunshine was the amazing force behind this beautiful shoot. She arranged for quite a list of talented crafters and bloggers to come together to provide all the items you see here. And as a bonus, there will be tutorials on all the little details! Every day this week, we’ll post a few more. Thanks, Sara!

Stars and constellations studded this sweet spread. Banners, garlands, bunting and a custom pillows made everything a bit magical.

I really can’t wait to see how to make these constellation flashlights–my kids are going to love them.

And it isn’t a party without a few Star Gazing treats. Lovely macarons, mason jar drinks and yummy cupcakes with pretty star toppers were picture perfect at this outing.

boy fairy tale party-1

We were so excited to have Elissa of One Stone Events contribute to the summer issue of Festivities Magazine. Her fairy tale mash-up party is definitely a new favorite of mine! I worked with her to develop some new, unique printables for her event, and Nicole of Tikkido.com helped with darling Peter Pan inspired bunting and Pan hats. Of course, there was a whole cast of talented vendors that { Read More! }

mustache baby shower-13

My friend Richelle is just one of those people that is a ray of sunshine wherever she goes and lights up the lives of those around her. I'm guessing it's all the sun and water she got growing up in the Florida Keys. The minute she let us know she was expecting another little one, I got excited to start planning out her baby shower. Richelle thought the whole idea of these mustache parties was a { Read More! }

motorcycle low-50

My son's birthday party is my favorite one that I throw all year. Boy parties are challenging. No pink, no fluff, just down and dirty wholesome boy goodness. That can be fun if you let it! After some gentle steering from his father, our kiddo was quite enthusiastic about paying homage to motorcycles. For weeks before (and after!) the party all conversations focused around motorcycles in one way or { Read More! }

superhero birthday party

Superhero parties are always so fun to flip through. They're colorful, highly graphic and the kids always look so darn cute running around in their masks and superhero capes. So when my dear client Cecelia wanted a superhero party for her son, I was pretty excited to help her out! (She is so super creative, no pun intended.) Thank you to Jacinta Young Photography for the beautiful photos. As { Read More! }

operation shower baby shower

  Several months ago, I had the true privilege to be able to volunteer with Operation Shower once again. Wonderful emotion, beautiful styling, and lots of creativity went into this baby shower event with volunteers from all over the state of Florida. And if you're up for throwing a vintage nautical party or military party, these designer tables are just full of inspiration. The { Read More! }

Table1

It's always exciting to see What Southern Belle's Charm will do with and item from our shop.  This spa day for Ava using our SPA Girl Custom Printable Party Set in blue really hit the mark, relaxation with the just the right amount of indulgence mixed in. Awaiting the guests at the entrance were all the essentials for beginning their day of relaxation. I absolutely love the { Read More! }

PicMonkeyCollage

A lot can be said for the morning time birthday- freshly rested toddlers, clothes that haven't been spilled on, finishing touches done while little ones are still asleep, and naps for all when it's over.  Ah yes, the morning birthday - a wonderfully overlooked little treasure. Pairing this great little party timing with a theme around some of the sweetest lyrics ever written, ones that evoke { Read More! }

burger slider bar superbowl-10

There is a big football game coming this weekend, one for which I always seem to have the driving need to make lots of game day food. As luck would have it, about the time I started thinking about the big game, CampbellsKitchen.com sent me a few coupons and asked me to make something from their (very extensive) recipe site. They've come out with this really neat new product called "Flavor Boost" { Read More! }
