Issue 15: Dive into Summer Magazine Shoot

It may be raining in Sydney right now but here is the dash of sunshine you need – as I share with you the gorgeous summery shoot from Issue 15 of Celebrating Little One’s Magazine

 

 

Styled by Fine Events Sydney in collaboration with many wonderful Celebrate Society members – the result was a fun setup with a gorgeous colour scheme which I think will suit parties ALL year around!

Issue 15: Encanto Inspired Birthday Party

Like many other kids, my daughter was obsessed with the movie Encanto over the summer and so an Encanto inspired party was her request for her 5th birthday!

It was the perfect theme for a bright celebration – and after all the covid-effected celebrations from the last 2 years, I felt it would be fun to do a colourful, fun setup for this theme for our magazine to inspire hopefully many more parties inspired by this movie! It was featured in Issue 15 of our latest magazine: https://issuu.com/lifeslittlecelebrations/docs/celebrating_little_ones_magazine_march_2022_fa2

 

An amazing team of Celebrate Society members collaborated on this party, styled by Mary Ronis Events

 

Starting with THAT stunning backdrop designed by Eve and Co (who designed all the illustrations for this party) and printed by Event Signs (who printed all the props) – for an incredible result! Lavorao Designs created the gorgeous name sign to personalise the backdrop also!

 

 

 

 

The cake was a show stopper! Inspired by the magical door in Encanto and created by Cakes with Punch, it was a masterpiece!

 

 

Gorgeous acrylic butterflies by Lavorarto Designs were a stunning touch:

 

 

How STUNNING is the balloon garland by Belle Events? It was an amazing feature bringing in incredible colour and framed around the gorgeous butterfly prop from Tiny Tots Event Hire. Belle Events also created all the gorgeous floral touches and AM Creative added the 3D butterflies onto the balloons:

 

The gorgeous partyware from Ruby Rabbit Party helped create a gorgeous look and brought in the butterfly touches inspired by the movie. The glass tableware  – along with the kids table and chairs and plinth were all from Sweet Heavenly Events:

 

 

 

Cakes with Punch also created these detailed butterfly and “5” cookies in beautiful shades:

 

 

 

 

Cookies with Kitsch’n brought the candle touch from the Encanto movie to life with these dessert cups finished with acrylic candle topper by Lavorato Designs

 

She also created the gorgeous cake pops – using the illustrations by Eve&Co and cake pop sticks from Lavorato Designs:

 

Dulce Trio created swirl heaven with these stunning cupcakes to match the colour scheme:

 

 

 

Eve&Co Illustrations teamed up with Event Signs printing helped bring fun and personal touches to the party with the unique props!

 

 

 

The personalised illustration of my daughter blew me away and was certainly a special touch!

 

 

 

We also had some fun foil balloons from Ruby Rabbit Party which worked in with this theme:

 

 

 

The party boxes were inspired by the Madrigal house in Encanto and blew me away! Created by Eve&Co – how gorgeous are they?!

 

 

 

To top it off – on the day of the party, Pistachio Entertainment had an Isabela inspired entertainer come and engage the kids with so many fun games and dancing all with the lively music from the movie!! Leah has already requested we have her come again next year!!

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed viewing the photos and I hope this inspires your own Encanto inspired party for your child!
