We recently had the pleasure of working with Marie on designing a set in chevron and polka dots for her little girl Lauren’s 1st birthday party. Lauren is a big fan of her Vulli Sophie La Giraffe, so that had to be in there as well! We supplied a few items to her and she was able to use them all in many different ways to achieve a truly custom look to her party. Talk about a crafty mamma! This party was originally posted at my good friend Lili’s blog at swanky::chic::fete…you can go there to see the complete set of pictures from this stunner of an event.

 

I love how she used the custom circles to personalize her cups, party hats and boxes, and even used them for cupcake toppers, too! And I’m also a huge fan of all the coordinating fabric she was able to find–she used fabric.com for the fun chevron prints! Be sure to see the rest of the photos at swanky::chic::fete.

Having a fall birthday is a perfect reason to celebrate pumpkin style! The fall has it’s own spectrum of wonderful decorations that make a seasonal ‘Little Pumpkin’ party so much more fun. Ellen of Ellen Bessette Events styled this fabulous homage to the pumpkin patch for our little Maddy. There were lots of treats, cider, s’mores, apple bobbing, and of course pumpkins. Thank you to Jill { Read More! }

Last summer, I had the pleasure of meeting Tara of Three Little Bows while she was planning this wonderful "Down on the Farm" party for her daughter's 1st birthday. I so enjoyed looking through her pictures after the party was over.  The photos are so stunning - Tara used very simple elements (and one spectacular cake she made herself!) to create little vignettes. Daisies in a mason jar are { Read More! }

I fell in love with paisley the minute Ashley handed me the designs. My love was deepened once I saw the beautiful work that Ellen from Whimsical Mod Parties did in styling her daughters Madeleine's Dol Celebration. So what is a Dol Celebration? In Ellen's words: "It's a Korean tradition that celebrates the first birthday. It is a big milestone (long ago many babies didn't make it to their first { Read More! }

There are so many crafty and creative mommas around the net, and I'm really happy to have "met" this one in particular. Paula at JC's Loft taught herself a new graphics program (no little feat) just so she could design her son's party just the way she wanted it, and then came up with all this fabulousness for the event! I guess I should also mention that this pool party was thrown at an indoor { Read More! }

Everything about this party is whimsical--nothing is matchy matchy, but everything works together so well! Each little guest was given either fairy wings or dragon duds as they came into the party, and spent the afternoon enjoying a puppet show and some neat treats. Frog Prince Paperie was { Read More! }
