{Product} Watch out for Dinosaurs!

I recently was asked to design a new party line for a former client. Last year she used my picnic line to throw her son's 2nd birthday and this year she wanted something new. When she first spoke with me she was planning on a park theme since the party was being thrown in a local park. I suggested modifying it to a dinosaur park and she loved it! I was really happy with the look of this new line and wanted to share it with all of you. Everything is available ready made and as a printable in my shop. If you don't see what you're looking for just ask and I'll be happy to create a listing for you!

It all starts with the invitation!

{Product} Cars Birthday Line

I've been super behind on both posting to this blog and also adding all my new lines to my Etsy shop! Today's post is accomplishing both of these items! I've recently created a "Cars" themed birthday design by request from one of my customers. Her son is in love with Lightning McQueen and wanted this theme for his 3rd birthday. Here is what I came up with!

{Guest Feature} The Party that Etsy Built: Beauty Queen Birthday

Recently I was asked to collaborate on a party being styled and thrown by Tiffany Reese of Lookie Boo. I sent some of my gem-ed up diamond toothpicks her way to help with some of the beauty queen party glam. Now that the party is done and the pictures are in, I get to share some of them with all of you!

{Event Recap} Vintage Jewelry Surprise Birthday

I was asked to design an event for my client's mother. Her mother, unfortunately, was robbed 2 weeks before her birthday and 4 generations of jewelry was stolen. My client was inspired to throw a jewelry themed surprise luncheon for her mom. She asked all of the guests to bring one pair of earrings as a gift for the birthday girl. I was very touched by this story and pulled together a simple design with hints of vintage jewelry. The color palette for the party was pink, cream and white with lots of wood accents. The party had a combination of clean, modern colors with rustic accent pieces. It made for a really spectacular combination.


For the dessert table I ordered some fabulous custom cookies with beautiful cameos featured on each one. This was huge hit as it closely resembled one of the birthday girl's favorite broaches which was lost.


The picture on the right is taken with my phone but you can really see the detail of the cameo!


I also included strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, strawberry parfaits, strawberry whoppers, mini doughnut rings and a lovely strawberry cake.


I decided to use cherry blossom branches in tall white bottles as the backdrop of the table. I didn't want to take away from the beautiful wallpaper!
For the lunch the ladies were served a variety of salads and roasted vegetables, a mixed juice spritzer, white wine sangria and lemon water. All the tables had fresh flowers which were purchased the day before in the LA flower district and at a farmer's market by myself and the hostess. At the end of the event all the ladies took home strawberry bath salt favors.
