Mary Poppins party shoot

Let’s go fly a kite…! I loved Mary Poppins along with the newest Mary Poppins Returns – the music, the costumes, the acting – and my daughters loved it too! It makes such a gorgeous party theme so I loved seeing this take on a Mary Poppins party incorporating different aspects from the movie such as the carousel scene, the penguins and the “lets go fly a kite” song.

Cookie Queen Kitsch’n coordinated this Mary Poppins party shoot for our magazine with other vendors from the Celebrate Society and the overall setup along with the details are truly inspiring! You can find the full vendor list at the end of this post so you can source all the various items or vendors yourself!

Party Feature: Magical unicorn party

There’s nothing quite as enchanting as a magical Unicorn Party and we have an amazing one to share with you today by one of our members!

This gorgeous collaboration shoot involved some amazing vendors including Glamacamp. Lisa from Glamacamp shares all the details with us today: “We are all involved in creating spectacular events for special occasions. It was so lovely to get together to create this gorgeous children’s package. The ideas and inspiration conceived from an inspirational post put out by “Your Mane Event” on Instagram. I was sure with the immense talent of people involved we could create a fanciful package that the kids would adore.

As the children arrived, they were greeted with the spectacular sight of the set-up. The tent with the golden unicorn head emerged from the natural wildness of the bush in our backyard. “The Frame” photography led the girls in a fanciful direction, guiding them through the adventure, capturing their reactions along the way.

I wanted the shoot to be as close to a real party as possible. The invitation was sent out, specially personalised to the guest. I asked the girls to be in their own choice of special dress, to come as they would to a party to celebrate. No special effort was required, no make-up, no hair, just the natural raw beauty of the children experiencing the magical set up for the first time.

“This is what dreams are made of” the parents said as the children rushed forward to meet our star of the show “Cherry” the Unicorn from the Sunshine Coasts premier horse modelling agency “Your Mane Event.” She emerged elegantly crowned and adorned in fresh cut flowers specially made for her that morning by Rambling Rose Cooroy.

As a backdrop Glamacamp’s slumber tent opened up exposing the 5 luxury beds. All with comfy spring mattress and cloud like tops. Sleeping under the stars in a Glamacamp bell tent is a truly memorable experience for any child. Beautiful pink and golden starred bed linen sparkled in the afternoon sun. Calling for any child to jump on and test it out which they did. Extra cushions, blankets and rugs, each bed with a little side table and lantern. Draped organza sheer and pretty waved blissfully in the breeze with the hanging festoons. Country style floral arrangements soft pinks, peonies, roses, lisianthus, gerberas for inside and out. The love of floristry evident in each vase from Rambling Rose Cooroy. There was the addition of scattered planters and my prize standard hibiscus that had decided on the day to close all its flowers but one. It’s a small but none the less, an impressive and very intimate setting to be enjoyed with only the closest of friends and buddies.

The package is styled to create a glamorous exploratory playground for the children to enjoy. Furnished with luxury details that are for a celebration to remember. Our Glamacamp style has an adventurous spirit, layered with textures and fabrics in soft colours for a magical experience. Peachy pinks and cotton candy with detailed highlights in brass and gold. .

The picnic table was set up on a gorgeous vintage aqua Turkish rug. The solid wooden French country style table with large marshmallow cushions as seats. Vintage English fine bone china laid on an antique French country kitchen table cloth. The napkins held with childhood memories for me, wrapped with the edible necklaces I can remember enjoying as a kid. Personalised name tags for each place setting designed together with invitations, thank you, food tags and signage as part of the signature stationary set for the package

Delicious sweet treats for all the children to enjoy. Unicorn biscuits, Unicorn donuts and that Magical Unicorn cake front and centre in the middle of the table, all created by the fabulous SweetP Cakes and Cookies. A true visionary delight that you would say are almost too good to eat.


I asked Journey Street food to create a presentation delight as adventurous as our own set ups. An exotic, fresh and healthy 3 tier tower of creative yumminess to be shared by all. Fruit skewers, cheeses, crackers, dips, rice paper rolls with decorative edible flowers, bliss balls, with a few extra little treats.

The children’s celebration was captured by one of the best.  The photographer from “The Frame” worked her own magic with the children, they were as fascinated as captivated.
