This sweet VINTAGE COWGIRL FIFTH BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Jesi Celeita of Dolce Designs.
This shabby chic party is so sweet and has tons of fun ideas! A few of the highlights to look for are:
The birthday girl’s name written in rope
The cookies shaped and decorated to look like cowgirl boots
The burlap, lace and fabric rosettes used as a simple cake topper and also secured to the tops of the milk bottles and apothecary jars
and MORE!
This is what Jesi said about planning the party- “This was a birthday dessert table I made for a little cowgirl named Kelsey who was turning 5. I made the wood art piece with her name, the cupcake wrappers and toppers, all the fabric and paper flowers, the fabric garland, tablecloth, and burlap and wood frame. I also made the cowgirl cookies, macarons, cupcakes, s’more pops, and ruffle cake. The white shelf I found at an antique mall as well as the cute pink antique plates. This is by far my favorite theme and I was thrilled when Kelsey’s mom picked it!”
This lovely FAIRY GARDEN THEMED FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Astir and Alessandra of Pra Você Festas Especiais.
A few of the highlights to look for in this sweet fairy garden party are:
The desserts wrapped in paper and served in pots to resemble flowers
The layers of ribbon tied around the table
The lovely 2-tiered cake wrapped with a fondant bow
and MORE!
This is what Astir and Alessandra said about the party- “To celebrate the 1st birthday of Maria Antonia mama wanted something delicate and magical, with many flowers! Working with the colors pink, lilac, green and white, we create an enchanted world where fairies roam between flowers and candy! It was a delicate feast full of charm and lots of flowers!”
Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you all have a fabulous day! This lovely SHABBY CHIC & LACE BIRTHDAY PARTY reminded me of Mother’s day so I thought it was a perfect feature. The celebration was submitted by Aliza Cohen of Wonderland Parties.
There are so many charming elements and fabulous ideas in this shabby chic party that would be perfect for a wedding, bridal shower, birthday party and so many other events. A few of the highlights to look for are:
The ribbon garland backdrop
The stunning multi tiered ruffle table cloth made from fabrics of various colors and materials
Here’s what Aliza said about the party- “This was actually a photoshoot for a new magazine coming out next month called JCREATE. This magazine was started to promote crafts and creativity for young children. It had been abundantly clear that the children of the generation are part of a technological world where creativity has almost no place except when choosing your next profile name for your newest video game. This magazine was started as a way to revive creativity in the classroom and at home. Its pages are filled with ideas and tips to help get your child off of the couch and into a craft room!
Everything you see in these pictures was handcrafted by our team members. From the ribbon, lace and burlap backdrop to the tablecloth and layered ruffle table skirt, paper wheels and paper fans to the favor bags and cupcake liner pom pom balls. The doily paper cones and the burlap and lace wrapped mason jar vases. We even made the dum dum lollipop flower ball. We also loved the idea of wrapping mason jar pint size glasses with twine and embellishing them with a handcrafted paper flower. All the flowers that you see were handcrafted! From the satin ribbon rosettes to the organza ribbon petal flower. All of the paper flowers were purchased and put together using a hot glue gun and then decorated with lovely little ivory pearls.
We even baked all of the desserts! Which was a first for us because we are definitely not bakers! :) We made cupcakes, cake pops, the two tiered frosted centerpiece cake, chocolate dipped marshmallow sticks and chocolate dipped old fashion candy sticks, garnished with edible pearls.
We sincerely hope that the message you take away from this is that you can create a stunning party on a low budget by making all the decorations by yourself and with your kids!!
And remember cut yourself some slack. Some projects may not come out exactly as you had hoped but we’re all human. Move on to the next project,+ no one will know about the ones that never came together.”
This enchanting FLAMENCO SPANISH DANCER + ROSE THEMED PARTY was submitted by Sibel Sahinkaya of Sibella.
This flamenco ballroom dancer party is so unique and lovely. There are so many elements that I like about it, including:
The rose shaped cake pops with gold edges
The multi layer burlap tablecloth
The gold doily and lace wrapped chocolate bars used for party favors
The stacked wooden crates painted on one end with chalkboard paint and labeled with the birthday girl’s name and age
and MORE!
Here’s what Sibel said about planning the party- “As a mother, the most important thing for me is to leave precious memories for my children. My beautiful son Arda has severe food allergies therefore has missed out on a lot of his friends and families birthday functions. Which is why when I style their birthdays I put in a little extra for them. I styled this party for my daughter Asya’s 2nd birthday and had everything safe for Arda. the beautiful Angel @ ElevatorLoveStory has always kept him safe ! All her deserts and cakes are made specially for Arda . Wheat, gluten, egg and nut free. . I think everything should be done in style :-) parties are one of those things.. I really enjoyed putting this party together.. my kids were kept safe and happy!”

This bright and cheery SPRING COOKIE DECORATING PARTY was submitted by Annina Hendrick for Enchanting Details.
What an adorable party full of ideas! Some of my favorite elements are:
Annina said this about planning the party- “This cookie decorating party and mini dessert table was part of our Easter celebration- but the theme was really more “Spring”, since there were very few Easter-specific decorations. I kept the colors as soft pastels, and with the morning light filtering in to my breakfast nook, it created a very beautiful and ethereal set-up.
I decorated with ruffled fabric, glassware that I already owned, and a “Sweet Tweet” Bird Printable Kit, which I designed.
The cookie decorating table included a reversible cake plate for the sugar cookies and icing, cake pops in flower pots, and nest cupcakes for guests to snack on. Each setting had a placemat, and a cup of sprinkles. Squeeze bottles full of icing were placed upside down in the cake stand so that the frosting would be ready when we began decorating!
I hung a rosette wreath in the center of the picture window and hung banners around the bay window.
The mini dessert table held a birdcage, which is intended for candles, but also worked as a unique cupcake stand. There was also a plate full of strawberry cupcakes, and pink lemonade.”
