Here’s what Rachel said about planning the party- “When our daughter, Cayden, said she wanted a snowflake party, I knew right away that I wanted it to have a soft, girly feel with lots of pink, creams, and grays. Textures in the form of knitted sweaters and tulle played a big part as well. Mother nature helped out by dumping 2 ft of snow the week before, ha!

While guests enjoyed pony rides and a petting zoo outside (despite the snow on the ground, it ended up being a beautiful day!), hot chocolate with handmade cozies & snowflake shaped marshmallows were passed out.

To complete the party, guests filled up their own goody bags with treats from the favor bar set up. This party was a blast to style and we ended up with one very happy 5 year old :).”

The desserts were by Flibby’s Sweets and Treats and Eye Candy Creative Designs helped decorate the dessert table.

Ms. Noreza which is a good friend of my sister made the delicious and very cute poodle cake for our little Georgina.”

The stunning display of pink desserts and candies

This is what Justine said about planning the party- “I recently styled my daughter’s first birthday which was held overseas whilst we were on vacation visiting the grandparents. I’d like to share how and what I did to design the party with the limited resources that I had with me as I was in a different country.

As my daughter was born just 4 days before my husband’s birthday, we took her home from the hospital for the first time on his birthday so when we were deciding on a theme for her first birthday we both knew that “Daddy’s Little Princess” was the way to go.

Styling in a different country was like working with a blank canvas as I had limited resources and contacts. However, I was inspired by my daughter’s ruffle tutu gown to create a special tutu-like princess dessert table. I designed a trestle cover that was made out of multiple layers of tulle which was then custom made by a local seamstress.

Party printables were custom designed by Mon Tresor, and the backdrop was designed by myself. I custom made princess party hats that were embelished with lace and princess veils, converted from regular dollar shop party hats. I also hand made princess tutu cupcake toppers from crepe paper which were sewn together and affixed to pink paper straws.

Accompanying the beautiful ruffle ombre crown topper cake were delicious desserts like Sparkle Fairy Cookie Pops, Crown Cookies with little Princesses names, Pink Macarons, Lemon Meringue, Strawberry Yogurt Mousse and Vanilla Cupcakes. Also, there was a gorgeous display of pink and white colored candy in apothecary jars embellished with a variety of my daughter’s gorgeous headbands. Mini “milk bottles” were converted from juice bottles from a local supermarket.

Other details included pre-wrapped tulle almond candy packs for guests who left early before the candy bar was open, a “Cinderella’s Feet” impressions kit activity for my daughter’s little guests to take part in as they are all still very young which also worked as a keepsake from the party. Each girl went home with a personalised princess story book featuring their names as well as my daughter’s name in the story line. A polaroid booth was also setup for all the guests as well as take-home candy bags for all who came to celebrate this special day. The kid’s table was decorated with tutu chair covers which also doubled up as a take home gift for the older girls.”

This party is so adorable with so many fabulous ideas! I love all of the different patterns and shades of pink.

This is what Danielle said about planning the party- “I am by no means a party planner; however, when my daughter’s birthday rolls around every year, I inevitably want to pull something together. I love crafting and never have the time for it, so her birthday gives me a good excuse to do it at least once a year!

For the party, I really wanted to play on my daughter’s favorite color (PINK, of course!). We used any and all shades of pink with tons of patterns. The dresser that was used for the dessert table as well as the rug underneath are from my daughter’s bedroom. She helped me make the ribbon curtain (from approximately 100yds of ribbon!) and the vases covered in ribbon. Lauren, of Capes & Crowns, came over one day to help me spray paint 4 chairs, 10 trays, and 10 frames with every shade of pink I could find. I really couldn’t have pulled this all together without the help!

All of the decorations were DIY – the printables, the framed “5″, all frames, chairs, platters, vases, etc. I was lucky enough to find the paper straws and cupcake cups locally and they went with the theme perfectly!”
