Fly Fly Away {first birthday inspiration}

First birthday parties are inherently special- filled with the baby innocence and the relief of parents surviving the sometimes harrowing first year. Our take on a first birthday party is always perfectly sweet with a few special touches.

This party (inspired by our One Little La La Plane Party Invitation) centers around that boyhood wonder- the airplane. Softly swaying planes hang from the ceiling, clouds decorate the wall, sugary sweet cupcakes with flags and handmade wooden airplanes for guests to take home. Along with cupcakes serve treats like popcorn, fairy floss, milk with brightly striped paper straws, soft squishy marshmallows and plenty of champagne for the adults!

Given it’s Halloween I thought today’s find should be on theme. I found this sweet recipe for Ghost Cupcakes on Kaboose, they look easy to make and would look super for a spooky themed party too!

Sunday Find {pretty cake stands}

parties, sunday finds, the rest

We’ve had bit of a drought in Australia the last few years, and I’m not talking about water! Finding a pretty footed cake stand on our shores has proven to me time and time again to be a difficult chore, so I was thrilled when I found these gorgeous square scalloped cake stands at Sharnel Dollar Designs. I haven’t bought one yet, but am oh so tempted!

Spooky {spider} Party

inspiration boards, parties

October is the month for all things spooky, with the Halloween season right around the corner, we thought our Spooky Spider Invitation and new matching Spooky Spider gift tags are just the ticket for your own spooky after dark party this month!

There’s no reason a spooky party needs to be limited to children- especially when there are such delicious treats like spooky cocktails, midnight treats and perfectly spooky costumes to play with! Why not throw a midnight spooky spider party with your friends? Make it a dress up theme and light the room with only the flickering of candle light. Serve spooky treats and don’t forget the cocktails!

Sunday Find {pretty party favour baskets}

parties, sunday finds, the rest, weddings

I stumbled across these pretty little baskets in Home & Abroad, South Yarra.

I thought these little baskets would be perfect for party favour bags and table decorations. Try putting a small vase or glass inside each one and fill with pretty flowers for a chic table centrepiece to match the favours…

Love the range of colours – the pink, red and black are my favourites. Have a lovely Sunday, hope the sun is shining for you as it is here!

Tea {party} For Three

parties, the rest

This morning the girls and I had a little tea party for three in honor of Ava. We baked cupcakes, made fairy bread and then we sat down and enjoyed our creations. We pulled out my Nan’s crystal and china, picked flowers from the garden and toasted with a babycino. A beauty full morning with my beautiful girls.

You’ve still got time to purchase your printable invitations for Charity, head over to Details Details for more information on The Beauty Full Collection.
