Easter Celebration Finds

 

 

Easter is a wonderful time of celebration!  Children love this time of year –  ask a child about Easter, and 9 times out of 10 they will share an excited story involving the Easter Bunny, fun activities that always lead to chocolate, lots of food and eggs (chocolate of course!). For many of us Easter does hold a deeper meaning – and it is always a cause of getting family together and having fun with the kids!

So whether you have a birthday coinciding with Easter, getting friends and family together for Easter Sunday lunch, or simply preparing class or teacher gifts before the end of term, take advice from the kids and have some fun with bunny themed products in sweet pastels, and just add chocolate!

You don’t need to be having a party to put up decorations. Get the kids involved and decorate the house for a bit of fun, or for something a little more special when friends and family come for lunch.

Easter Treats

Whilst the kids will tell you it’s all about the chocolate, it’s not a celebration without cake! Cupcakes with bunny inspired toppers, cookies in the shape of eggs or beautifully decorated rabbits not only make a nice alternative (and break!) from chocolate, they also make great gifts for teachers and class friends.

Tribal Inspired Party Theme Ideas

 

If there’s one thing I admire the most about this industry, it’s the creativity of taking a bespoke theme so unrelated to the industry, and turning it into something magical that spreads like wildfire.

A great example is the luxe boho theme that has taken over my Instagram feed. Just add unicorns and suddenly it’s a children’s party! I have seen so many magical versions of this theme, ranging from pastels, feathers and unicorns for a pretty and feminine feel, to a more tribal vibe for boys – and I love them all!

So where do you start if you want to give this a go yourself? As always, we’ve sourced some great finds from our LLC Vendors from the Directory to make it easy for you to shop and plan for your kids party! Simply CLICK on any image in the blog post to be taken to where you can source/order the item!

 

Boho Party Theme Invitations

To set the bohemian vibe, start with the magical elements of dreamcatchers, feathers, unicorns and tee pees, and choose a colour palette of pastels for a more whimsical influence, or rustic, earthy tones for a more tribal feel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boho Party Theme Decorations

This is one theme you can really let your imagination go wild with. If you’ve chosen more of a tribal vibe, why not set up camp, Pocohontas and The Lost Boys style? Prefer pastels and feathers? Introduce cushions, lots of macrame, draped fabrics and lace for a bohemian retreat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love the idea of using themed keepsakes of these occasions too and including them in the decorations.

 

Boho Theme Prop Hire

A tee pee isn’t something most of us have lying around the house, but if you can borrow or hire one and accessorise it with cushions and throws, it really helps bring this theme together.

 

 

 

 

How about making it a slumber party with guests having their own individual tee pee? I love this idea for older girls.

 

 

A gorgeous idea for this party is to have a floral crown making workshop which Bella Fiore Floral Designs (Sydney) run:

American Indian 1st Birthday Celebration

An American Indian theme has become so popular this last year and I love this gorgeous party we are showcasing today as the colours are bright and vibrant and the theme has really come to life through the props and styling from Sydney based Sweet Heavenly Events Hire!

 

As Mary from Sweet Heavenly Events explains: “Vicky came to us and told us what she had in mind for her daughter Valentina’s Birthday.  We jumped at the chance of styling something unique and amazing. We got to work with our crazy and talented bunch of vendors to design something gorgeous. Using our Marble timber stands and our copper table ware it was a true masterpiece.”

Enjoy the incredible images and details and you will find all the vendor credits at the end of this post with many vendors you can find on our Directory!:
