ALICE IN WONDERLAND PARTY

Since our Queen of Hearts party, I have a sweet spot for anything Alice in Wonderland.  This 2-year birthday party for sweet Saveena brought the magic and beloved story of Alice to life.  Photographer Summer Shea had a blast capturing all the sweets, fun and mad details. I think the photo booth is my favorite! Thank you Summer for sharing your work and this fun, colorful party with us!

FELT TREE UTENSIL HOLDER

Such a simple little project can make such a big festive difference to your table! I love this felt tree from Confetti Pop to add a little fa-la-la to Christmas place settings.  And just as they showed, the tree doesn't have to be green. Go for fun colors like their pink or yellow. Find the full tutorial here.

MINT, GOLD AND PINK FIRST COMMUNION DESSERT TABLE

This party struck a chord with me, because my girls will be receiving their First Communion in May. So, I'm personally looking for inspiration on what to do to commemorate the event. For those of you who may not be familiar with a First Communion, it's when a child receives the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist in the Catholic Church.  Children are usually in the second grade when they receive it, and it's kind of a big deal.

Event designer Party Envy by Charlene used a color palette of mint, gold and pink that really complements the special occasion. The dessert table was filled with cake pops, cupcakes and cookies. And what little girl would not love that Barbie cake?  It makes her feel like Barbie herself! Thanks to Charlene for sharing her delicious looking table.

MAGICAL GARDEN PARTY

Welcome back! Are you all still deflating like I am from the Thanksgiving weekend?? I feel like I'm still in a bit of a turkey coma.  But, it's parties like this one that make me excited to get back into things. I am so charmed by everything about this fairy garden party! The foliage letters, ladybug apples, leafy placemats, and I love how the adults got into it as much as the kids!  Such a memorable party for an adorable little girl turning one.  Enjoy the enchanting details photographed and submitted by Summer Shea Photography in California.
