The lollipop flower pots with ladybugs on the “stems”

The coconut flesh shaped into flowers

Here’s what Natalia said about planning the party- “Nina is a very happy and dynamic girl. For this reason, her mother wanted to have a garden theme for Nina’s party, but with a lot of colors. There was turquoise, pink and red! Also, she wanted to add owls into the garden to give it more personality, hence the woodland garden.

After that, we decided to develop the party by decorating the different desserts to look like animals in Nina’s Garden. We had honey chocolate cakes designed as Ladybugs and chocolate truffles as Bird Nests+Baby Birds. The sweet apples were made out of chocolate and topped with a little worm. They looked like real apples! There were also owls made out of chocolate and coconut flesh shaped like flowers. We used cake stands with bird and flower details to display some of the different desserts. Every single detail came together create the wealth and beauty of a real woodland garden.”

Night Owl Sleepover Birthday Party

I opened up the submission email for this party and fell in love! This NIGHT OWL SLEEPOVER 7TH BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Tash Kimlin of Whimsy Petite Styling is an absolute dream. Every single party element is just so darling. What a fun way for a girl to celebrate her 7th birthday!

Here is what Tash had to say about the party– “My daughter was super keen to have her first sleepover party to celebrate her 7th birthday…who was I to say no! I loved the idea and jumped at the challenge of creating a dreamy atmosphere for the girls to spend their day giggling, having fun and finally falling asleep in. Beautiful late summer weather meant our generously sized back deck was the perfect spot for the event…it next to the yard and cubby house and ideal for utilising the pool, making the most of the end of season warmth {not to mention a great plan for keeping 6 hyped up children out of the house}. Sharlize loves owls so naturally she decided on a night owl theme. I decided on a bright and fun colour palette of Fushia, orange and tiffany blue, and was really happy with the outcome.

The 6 girls enjoyed an afternoon of swimming, creating canvas art to take home, playing game, watching movies, having pillow fights and more. each of the guests had their own serving of fish and chips in little boxes for dinner then we watched movies and fell asleep out on the deck under the mosquito net {which proved funny when they kept waking up during the night to check if any owls or possoms had come to visit them}.

We really wanted to bless the girls as it was the first sleep over party any of them had been to, so, they each recieved a special sleepover suitcase filled with goodies including pj’s, toiletries, a diary, pencil, stickers, hair brush and a specially made owl so snuggle up with at bed time. The delight on their faces was priceless when they opened them, like they had opened a box full of treasure.”
