Easter Theme Birthday Party

This charming BUNNY THEMED FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Alex Vardakis of Avie & Lulu in Australia.

I love so many things about this bunny party! It would obviously not only be great for a birthday but would work for a Easter party or a baby shower as well. A few highlights to look for are:

The mason jars painted opaque white and used as vases
The gorgeous glass apothecary style drink dispensers
The bunny shaped cookies tied to the sides of milk bottles
The stunning cake complete with cascading sugar flowers and topped with a three dimensional fondant bunny
and MORE!

Party Styling: Avie & Lulu

Desserts: Sweet Tiers

Cookies: Kookie Krumbs by Kirstie

Drink dispensers and assorted Cake Stands: Leo & Bella

Alex said this about the party- “My third little girl celebrated her first birthday in April and being around Easter we thought what better than to have a gorgeous pastel themed Easter party! It was a garden party with lots of prettiness and lots of fun!

A special appearance by the Easter Bunny himself was a highlight for the kids, as was the real white fluffy bunny which spent the afternoon hoping around.

A beautiful 2 tier Cake was the show stopper of the dessert table. Made by the talented Sweet Tiers it featured a beautiful Bunny figurine topper. All of the guests were amazed it was fondant and many thought it was a real porcelain figurine. Other treats included buttercream ruffled cupcakes in pastel shades of lemon, pink, mint and blue. And the most amazing and detailed Cookies by the super amazing cookie artist Kookie Krumbs by Kirstie. They were like tiny portraits, delicately detailed and definitely too good beautiful to eat!
The children’s setting featured rattan chairs which suited the garden feel to a tea.

Each guest received a keepsake hankie designed by Ham&Pea Paperie which featured the Winnie the Pooh quote ‘You are braver then you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think’.”

Rubber Duck 1st Birthday

I love how Rafaela Scarpati from Tetto Eventos styled this rubber duck theme party. The attention to the details are amazing. Among a lot of bubbles and duckies everything is so delicate and sophisticated. Perfect idea for a birthday party or a baby shower.

Fun Mermaid Themed Birthday Party

The idea for Emilee's first birthday party theme popped up for her mom Ashlee Thomas before Emilee had even been born, thanks to a mermaid invitation design Ashlee's best friend had been working on for a design class. Then, when Emilee arrived with that pretty red hair, the theme seemed like it just couldn't be any more perfect! But rather than go Ariel overload with the party, Ashlee opted to bring out the essence of the character, decorating in such a pretty way with lovely beachy details. From the ocean hued palette accented with bright pink and gold to the festive tissue poms and garland, the party feels so happy and feminine. And this party even came with its own mermaid! Too fun.

"I found the 'garden party' color tassel garland first and set my color palette. It worked out really well because Emilee's nursery is done in the same colors so I was able to hang the garlands and poms in her room after. I'm all about reusing party decor. I think it's a shame to pay for things only to use them once and then throw them away."

"Another budget saver was all the beach decor. Most of my house is a coastal theme so I was able to pull things - picture frames, starfish, coral, shells - from other rooms in the house to really make the party come together. I purchased a few of the grape vines (driftwood looking pieces) wholesale and used some strands of pearls to really bring the "shabby ocean chic" vibe to life."

"My favorite part of the party was the photo collage. The idea popped into my head one day and it turned out just like I imagined it. A few fish nets from our local party store, mini clothespins, and pics of Emilee's first year really turned into a great conversation piece. It was fun looking back at her first year in pictures."

"Since we are in Southern California it is still hot in September so I knew it had to be a swim party. And with it being over 100 degrees the day of the party, all the guests were glad to be in the pool. Luckily for me, my mother-in-law knows a real "mermaid," so imagine my guests surprise when they come outside to get in the pool and find a real mermaid swimming in it! She was the highlight of the party for all the kids there."
