{Mermaid Tails Birthday}

Once again I am really honored to have been given the opportunity to work for this family.  I've been doing parties for them for quite some time now, and every time I think we create something even more stunning!  Our little girl wanted a Mermaid party.  The inspiration is a mermaid tail her mom got for her.  I immediately knew the color scheme I wanted for this celebration.  A color combo of aqua, mint, salmon and rose.  This has got to be one of my new favorite parties!

Every girl invited would get her own mermaid tail as a party favor, so I already knew we needed to prepare a table for the girls.  Each chair was decorated with a personalized sign with their name and of course, their tails.  Centerpieces included seashells, corals, pearls, flowers, you name it.  A delicate and simple display of ocean inspired items.  Each table setting included aqua plates, a personalized water bottle and a cookie, along with some fab wooden cutlery.

The background for our main table was simple yet fabulous.  I used yards of ribbon in our coordinating colors over cream colored fabric framed by two giant balloons with handmade tassels.  The banner and garland in the middle was the perfect accent.

Tons of desserts and props were featured in this extravagant sweets table. A huge mermaid tail, corals, starfish, pearls and gold frames gave the finishing touches to a vast array of decadent desserts and candy.  A gorgeous cake and cupcakes take front center in this beautiful table.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures just as I loved creating this party!

{Mickey Musketeer Birthday}

It is always such a treat to work with this family. For some amazing reason I get really inspired by the themes we choose for all the celebrations we have made for all three of their kids.  So this time, we took a popular theme as Mickey Mouse and got inspired by The Three Musketeers movie.  The result is a colorful and fun display of desserts and balloons.  Guests were impressed and delighted by all the sweetness.

We started off with the balloon art by my friend Johanna of GloboArte where she created a life size Mickey Musketeer and a not so literal Goofy by incorporating the age of the birthday boy.  Placed by each side of our dessert table it was the perfect backdrop element along with a birthday banner with a medieval look.

Now on to the table.  Lots of desserts including strawberry cheesecakes with embellished spoons, lemon French macarons, fleur de lis sugar cookies, chocolate covered Oreos, coconut macaroons and brownies.  All of these desserts made by my sweet sister-in-law Mari from Sugar Bliss.

The cake is always a focal point of my tables and this one is simply spectacular.  Mary from The Cake Factory created three tiers of deliciousness and really fantastic sugar art.  An exclusive design for this party! The cupcakes were a perfect complement to this cake.

The kids tables featured a musketeer look alike centerpiece, Mickey head place mats, polka dot plates and personalized water bottle labels with striped straws.  Mickey ears for each kid completed the setting.

We prepared burlap goody bags along with tiaras and magic wands for girls and foam swords for the kids.

The party was held at a local indoor playground and the kids had a blast.
