A Fancy Birthday Soiree

Feather boas, tiara and tutus, sparkles, glitter and gowns are what make things fancy. So for the Fancy Nancy in your life why not throw her a fabulous soiree (that's a fancy word for party)! We decided to go with a afternoon tea party with all the fancy trimmings: tea sandwiches, tea cakes, Peach tea, cupcakes, petits fours and confections of all kinds.

B is for Baby! A Pink and Purple Baby Shower

It is always such a joy to celebrate the expected arrival of a little one making baby showers one of my favorite type of events to do. I was thrilled at the opportunity to come up with ideas for this particular shower for Baby Anorah. We chose a pink and purple color palette with a flower garden theme. It turned out so pretty! I love how the combination of colors worked so well together giving it such bold and bright look. Also, the diaper cake and letter "A" were a beautifully added touch. Most of all, the radiant mommy-to-be was extremely pleased....mission accomplished!

Hooray For Hollywood!!! An Oscar Themed Birthday Party

Planning parties and events allows me the opportunity to meet some really interesting and extraordinary people. John Prentice, a talented young thespian whom I had the pleasure of planning a birthday party for, fits the description as one of those extraordinary people. His sweet mom, Katy wanted to give him a 23rd birthday party that embodied his unique personality and his love for theater. So we decided to go with an Oscar themed birthday party to honor the soon to be star!


Paparazzi!

Safari Themed First Birthday Party

I had the pleasure of planning a first birthday party for the sweetest one year old ever, Jaylen Bryce! So to give him a proper first birthday bash, we decided to go with a Safari theme for this little cutie. There were lions, and tigers and bears- OH MY!!!

We chose snacks that were suited for toddlers and preschoolers, however, you know that I had to add an Everything Sweet flare right? Right! So instead of just having goldfish crackers and pretzels, I came up with a trail mix of yummies that toddlers liked and called it "Critter Crunch". Needless to say, it was a huge hit with the kiddos!!!

Coming up with ideas and decorating for this party was such fun! Pulling in all the different types of jungle animals really made for a wild and exotic color palette. Check it out!
