{Print to Party Decor} Bee & Butterfly

This design was requested by one of my dearest friends, for her beautiful daughter Freya's birthday.

The Bee theme is very popular at the moment for kids parties....I love it, this design features a sprinkle of pink butterflies to make it that little bit girlier, it also allows you to add some more colour to your party....pink and yellow...delicious!

Of course if you have a boy (mother of 2 boys right here!), I can remove the girlie butterflies ;-)

{Print to Party Decor} Vintage Tricycle and Kite Party

Canvas Artwork by Style Me Gorgeous

A little ribbon garland I made from gorgeous washi tapes, this hung across the front of the table
(please excuse the crumpled table cloth, ...again ran out of time!)

Another beautiful shot of my baby boy by Renee of NFE Design

The inspiration for Max's First birthday theme was the canvas artwork (above) that I designed which hangs in Max's bedroom. I had plans to include a wooden plane hanging behind the dessert table with the kite banner...but ran out of time, a nice thought though :-)

I decided on a soft, clean colour palette of pale blues and browns, perfect for a sweet and handsome little boy! (for a boys party I guess you can only really get away with such 'sweetness' for a first birthday so I had to advantage of that). I added natural twine, brown paper and wood elements to give a simple, clean and casual feel.

I found the cute little trike on the cake on etsy and spray painted it baby blue.

The beautiful bell domes that I used to display the cookies were from www.frenchhomewares.com.au

Mini cookie jars from www.detailsdetails.com.au

Buffet label holders from www.montresor.com.au

Cupcake holder from www.sweetlittlebirdy.com.au

Wooden cones (for the popcorn), thick brown and cream twine on kite banner from www.donnahay.com.au

The kite banner was made from felt, it was the quickest thing to make out of everything, I printed out the letters on A4 paper, cut them out and traced them onto felt that was sticky on one side, thread through some twine, tied on the ribbon and there you have it.

I think a fun party activity to go with this theme would be to have the kids decorate their own little kites then attempt to fly them, I bought some kites for the kids to fly but the weekend of the party we had terrible winds that would have blew the kids away with the kite !

Ok now Im off to do some planning for my eldest son's 4th birthday party, another theme inspired by one of my canvas artworks... sneak peaks soon ;-)

Thankyou all so much for your feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time !

My Sweet Little Boy's First Birthday

My baby boy, Max, turned one last month. Ohhh I think Im still in denial that he is one, when my eldest Jack turned one I was fine, but with Max I shed a tear or two..it just goes too fast.

I had so so many ideas for Max's party, and you know how it goes..things rarely go to plan. We moved house the same week so I didnt have time to do a few things, and we had horrible winds on the party day which meant I couldnt have the table outdoors as planned so had to change the backdrop at the last minute, oh well! get over it Sarah ;-)

Anyway it was a beautiful day with friends and family, Max got lovely gifts (that his big brother had a great time opening) and enjoyed his mummy's mudcake very much!

I want to say a special thank you to Renee of NFE Design for photographing the day for us, I didnt have time to take a single photo so thank god for Renee! and how gorgeous is her photography.

I hope you enjoy the pics and I would love to hear your feedback.

The invitation along with a badge magnet (Invite Printable by Style Me Gorgeous)

The banner I made out of felt, ribbon and twine...it was easy peasy

Yummy wafer sticks as straws...I got this idea fromthe girls at details details!

Name banner Printable by Style Me Gorgeous

The favor bags wrapped in brown paper, twine and a badge contained a wooden spinning top,
a DIY jet plane and some chocolates. The favor bag tag by Style Me Gorgeous had the words 'thanks for rolling by'

Party Flag Printables by Style Me Gorgeous

Another little take home favor for the kids, 'milk and cookies for the road',

I will give you stockist details and how to's from the party in my next post.

PS I love it when people notice the little details (Jordan ;-) )...I like the party boy to co-ordinate with his party, so I made Max his own little badge, and he wore these gorgeous little blue and white striped Oobi baby shorts, too cute.

{Printable Party Decor} Baby Elephant

The DIY Party Printables that I created from my little Max's Naming day are my NO.1 seller by far. I have to tell you I am absolutely loving designing these printables and there are PLENTY more to come including a Christmas collection very soon.

I often have requests on themes, and have a lovely long list, if I get enough requests for a particular theme it gets bumped up the list, do you have any requests ?

What is your favourite collection from my range so far, I love to hear from you ?

Sweet, Sweet Little Birdy!

Sweet Little Birdy - mini-cupcake-holder

Sweet Little Birdy - Cupcake Carrier

Sweet Little Birdy - Turntable with buckets

Sweet Little Birdy - Mini Dome with Stand

Sweet Little Birdy is a BEAUTIFUL new online boutique based in the Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia (local to me). Born out of Tara's love of home decorating, party styling, event planning and all things sweet, prepare to 'fall in love'.

It really is a party planners heaven with all the divine cake stands, platters, glass jars, and party wares. My Max's first birthday is coming up and Im having a hard time refraining myself from going crazy and buying it all. It doesnt stop there though, you will find gorgeous bakeware items, bunting, soft toys, bibs, baby clothing....take a look!

Tara has done a wonderful job creating Sweet Little Birdy, there was so much excitement and anticipation leading up to the launch with the sneak peaks, ideas and inspiration on how to use the products, then the launch parties Tara held...unfortunately I missed out on attending as I was on holidays, but from what I see it was all perfect.

Tara used the Tea Party buffet signs and party spots from 'Print, Cut & Party' by Style Me Gorgeous. It was photographed by the talented NFE Design.
