Under the Sea

Mary-Lou's Under the Sea Party!
      When my good friend Katie asked me to co-style her daughters Under the Sea party, I jumped at the chance!  I've been wanting to design party printables for an Under the Sea theme and this was the perfect opportunity!
     The color palette we chose was turquoise, pale purple, white and glittery silver.  I then designed the adorable invitation and party printables, including a fabulous 20x30 poster that was the centerpiece of the sweet, ruffled backdrop.  Keeping with the Under the Sea theme; we couldn't think of a better place to have this lovely party than at the local swimming pool!
     As all the guests arrived, they were given a glittery lace crown to wear along with a lovely pearl necklace made from pearly gumballs!  They then all sat down at a beautifully decorated table for a scrumptious lunch followed by delicious cupcakes and some super fun party games!  Then it was off to the pool!
     Some of my favorite details of this adorable party were the precious lace crowns adorned with seashells and pearls, the magical starfish wands, and all the creatively delicious food Katie made for the kiddos and the adults.
     This party was so much fun to co-design and execute and  I'm thrilled that I got the opportunity to add another lovely design to my ETSY shoppe! Check out all the fabulous pictures below!




















I hope you found some wonderful inspiration for your next party!

Glittery Sweet Minnie Birthday!

     My daughter Talula was turning three and there was nothing she loved more than Minnie Mouse!   I decided to change it up a bit by putting a glittery sweet twist to the traditional Minnie Mouse theme.  I achieved this by using glittery gold accents, pale pinks and creams, a subtle leopard print and rhinestone accents to complete this adorable theme!
     I always start by designing the invitation followed by all the fun party printables like food tents, favor tags, straw flags and place cards.  I decided to add glittery gold Minnie ears thoughout the design to keep the theme cohesive and Minnie-rific!
     I loved all the feminine details of this party like the ruffled backdrop of the dessert table, or the adorable gold headbands adorned with a darling pink bow the little girls were all given to wear. But my favorite would have to be the custom birthday dress I made for Miss Talula to wear.  It was trimmed with a pale leopard pattern around the neck and arms and adorned with a pink bow accented with delicate white feathers,  a rhinestone center and finished with a most fabulous matching hair accessory!
     Some of my favorite details of the party included the glittery gold dessert table skirt adorned with sweet tassels, the beautiful gold cake topper and last but certainly not least, was the "minnie" table set perfectly in front of the dessert table for Miss Talula and her little guests to enjoy their Minnie inspired lunch!  We served the girls Minnie shaped grilled cheese, fruit, "minnie" veggies and dip and for dessert everyone enjoyed Minnie shaped sugar cookies and delectable vanilla cupcakes!
     I do hope you enjoy this party as much as we did and perhaps find some inspiration for your next party!
