Dessert Table ~ Sweet Graduation Celebration

Our friend, the fabulously talented Korinne of Swank Sweets, sent us pictures of a dessert table she styled using our printables for a high school graduation party. The graduate, Jenna, is bound for Clemson University. Korinne added a feminine touch to the table and by using lavender and peach (Clemson's colors are bright orange and purple).

Fabulous sugar cookies from Delish Bake Shop

Absolutely sweet cake pops with the Clemson Tiger Paw logo from Beautiful Cakes & Cake Pops

Thank you Korinne for sharing with our readers pictures from Jenna's party.

{Giveaway} $25 Gift Certificate to My Little Love - Sweet Party Supplies

Every cupcake deserves to be put upon a pedestal. Becky, owner of the online party supply shop, My Little Love, carries the perfect accessories for the perfect party! Becky just opened her shop and we are excited that she is sponsoring this week's giveaway.

She sent us a brief background about how her "Little Love" came to be:

Aloha Everyone! I'm very excited to share with you my new love. My name is Becky and I'm the adoring mommy to my newly one year old son Noah-Paul, and doting Aunty to my six year old twin niece and nephew, Lynea and Triton. I'm a stay at home mom born and raised in Hawaii. I've been planning and styling parties for years; I guess you could say I'm a party stylist! I started My Little Love after Noah-Paul was born because of course he is my little love!

In Hawaii, a baby's first birthday is a big event and I wanted to design and style a party filled with vibrancy, color, and lots of fun, fun, fun! Once I got started with the party plans, I had an epiphany..why not create a website filled with fun, vibrant, super colorful products for the party stylist in everyone, and most importantly, for the little loves in their lives? So, I set out to do exactly that and here we are.

Becky we are excited for you! Here are just a few fun items from Becky's shop:

Vibrant polka dot balloons

Rolls of colorful twine

Because your cupcakes should be on a pedastal!

Fun candles

Red, White and TWO Birthday Party

I am in LOVE with this "Red, White and TWO" Birthday Party!

Jessica, of Little Pumpkin Grace blog, shared Hudson's party photos with us and we were thrilled with the timing - right in time for the 4th of July!

Jessica knew that the perfect theme was something that was All American and Classic "Boy".

I just love her styling and the different shades of red, white and blue.

She used designs from our printable "4th of July Pinwheels" collection to embellish party items...

How precious are the party hats and the dessert table patterns!?

I love the antique window used as an interest point for the backdrop, along with the classic monogram "H".

Everything classic... everything fabulous!

Love the mix of the printable pennant banner and the fans and hanging decor....

Precious children!

Cute blueberries in red cupcake liners displayed in the cupcake stand.... classic American all around!

What a beautiful trifle.... look how she served them in mini bundt cake pans!

Precious Italian Cream cake with a bunting she made of our printable collection....

PRECIOUS Party hat. (Check out Jessica's store here)

Loving the partyware!

What a beautiful family you have, Jessica. Congrats on a beautiful and patriotic party that Hudson will always cherish!

We LOVE how Jessica used our printable holiday collection for a birthday party! She got creative with the designs and adapted them for the perfectly patriotic Red, White and Two party!

Thanks for sharing!

Party Like A Rockstar - William Turns Two

Our client, Adonica, an event planner herself (check out her blog here), recently styled a family friend's son's 2nd birthday. Their son, William, LOVES drums and guitars so Adonica took that theme and "rocked" it!

Adonica sent in this write-up about the big bash:

"What do you do for the birthday of a little boy who loves drums and guitars? Well, you have a musical birthday party of course! For adorable William's 2nd birthday party, we created a musical themed party for him that was full of fun and bright colors; a huge hit with the guests. The main table included color coordinated cupcakes, a mini candy station, little blue juice jugs with personalized paper straws, and golden trophy party favors for all the kids to take home. For centerpieces, I wrapped empty boxes to look like presents and cut and glued on guitars, drum sets, his initial, and the number "2". For a fun craft, there was a "design your own guitar" table. I purchased paper guitars, put out markers and all kinds of stickers and let the kids have a blast. It was a great activity that they seemed to really enjoy. There was also a photo booth with inflatable musical instruments to use as props. The inflatable guitars served a dual purpose as photo props and dueling swords! I also had a custom birthday shirt created for him that coordinated with the party. It was a fun, bright, adorable party for a very fun little boy!"
