{Ballerina Carousel Birthday}

This party is just a dream.  From the color scheme to the tablecloths and flowers.  I had this theme requested by a new customer and it was a joy to create and style this gorgeous celebration.

We wanted to incorporate both themes in a subtle way by focusing mainly on the colors and textures.  We used rosette tablecloths, fresh flowers, drapery and balloons to create a setting we haven't used before at Partylicious.

The backdrop was created by my friend Johanna Padín.  Twenty five feet of fabric, two gold balloon columns and a balloon grid with a ballerina frame in the center.

I wanted to feature the cake separately, so I decided on a round table for the cake and two small rectangular tables for the dessert bar, twelve feet of sweetness!

The majestic cake by Mary at The Cake Factory was our centerpiece. Three tiers in pink and blue featuring all of our party icons.  Amazing detail and craftsmanship.  The cupcakes were amazing too with their fondant toppers.

My dessert table featured the usual favorites: candy such as gumballs, jelly beans, almond kisses, strawberry puffs, lollipops and rock candy.  The desserts by Sugar Bliss completed our display with strawberry cheesecake, chocolate covered marshmallows, french macarons, macaroons, brownies and ballerina slipper cookies that were embellished with ribbon.  Deliciousness and cuteness all around.

The centerpieces were my personal favorite.  I created two different styles using hydrangeas, pink titanic roses and carnations, and added details to carry on with our theme.

A beautiful party for baby Valentina.

{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!
