{Maleficent Birthday Party}

Halloween is always a favorite holiday to celebrate and how lucky is this little girl to have a birthday so close to the date! She absolutely loves Maleficent and had been asking for a themed party since the movie released.  So this year we suggested a Maleficent inspired costume party at a local jungle gym.  We selected purple, apple green and black as our color scheme, and let me just say it looked amazing!

Read on for all the party details and lots of pictures!

Let us start with this cake, or should I say, this GORGEOUS cake!  Jovanna from Jovadiel Cake Designs came up with this adorable creation in black lace over purple fondant and a mirror frame with our girl's initial.  The rest of the cake speaks for itself.  Delicious and beautiful, a hit with all the guests.  To continue with the Maleficent inspiration she also created cupcakes with toppers featuring small mirror and the horns, of course. 

As for the desserts, deliciously created by Sugar Bliss, we wanted to take the Halloween route and crate spooky, curious and sweet treats.  Most of them inspiration gathered on Pinterest.  Chocolate covered apples with bling sticks from Treats by Taryn on Etsy, rice krispy treats, marshmallow brownie ghosts, nutella cheesecake tombs, witch fingers, and of course, the beautiful and cookies by Cookies by Suehery in lemon, coconut and vanilla flavors.  Simply amazing!

The whole setup was completed with green and black curtains, a custom made banner, dessert tags, signage, favor boxes and small themed decorations by yours truly.

I hope you all love this party as much as I do!  Hopefully it will bring some inspiration to your Halloween parties in the future.

{Little Monster Birthday Bash}

A colorful celebration for a first birthday!  Our Little Monsters were a huge hit with guests at this fantastic party.  The color palette was a rainbow of bright colors combined with chevron print in orange and black.

I wanted to feature a large fluffy monster as our perfect background for this amazing dessert table.  Large eyes and a mouth gave life to this blue monster.  My friend Johanna Padín from GloboArte created two stacked monster balloon columns to frame our background, as well as a stand alone yellow monster for the favor/gifts table.

The dessert table is to die for with all of this color and sweetness.  We served our usual favorites: monster cookies, eyeball Oreos, marshmallows in stripey straws, brownies with monster toppers, cheesecakes and nutella tarts.  The amazing cake by Jovanna Valentín at Jovadiel Party Shop was a perfect design inspired on the little monster clip art we used for all the paperie.  We used several of our monsters to decorate the areas.

I set up a drinks station with fruit punch and embellished water bottles with stripey straws.  Items such as cups, napkins and favor boxes are from Oriental Trading.

Favor bags were transformed with cute monster faces and a thank you tag attached with ribbon.  The favors included more candy, monster cups, plush items and monster rubber duckies from OT.

I adore the centerpieces!  I created fluffy monster heads with googly eyes for a fun pop of color.

This has to be also one of my favorite parties so far.  Hope you enjoyed the photos!
