Today I am sharing a real party by Isabelle for her 2yr old daughter! Isabelle runs Barbe a Papa so she could use her talent and skills to create the paperie items herself.
As Isabelle describes – “Princesses are such popular theme for little girls. So it wasn’t a surprise when our then 2 year old fell in love with Snow White. Her party theme was obvious!”
I love the use of the blue curtain backdrop for a fairytale feel. Gorgeous red tablecloth from Saffy and May!
These blue candy jars help to bring the colour scheme to life!:
How sweet are these snow white spoons from Bespoke Party Products?:
The Snow White clipart was carefully chosen to look like Isabelle’s daughter. I think it is super sweet!
Isabelle decided to work with the Snow White colours: red, blue and yellow and added a touch of glitter and gold to make everything a little more magical.
Apples were also a very important part of the design and were included in the whole concept.
The cake was a chocolate mud cake covered in chocolate ganache and the figurine was handcrafted to match the invitation. Renae from All that Cake did an amazing job.
Such a lovely kids party table setup carrying on the colour scheme:
The children were entertained by a face painter. There was also a bubble station set up, a game of pin the bow or apple on a Snow White and the children could decorate their own cupcakes.
Each child took home a heart filled with playdough, a chocolate bar, some bubbles, colouring pages and crayons, with a personalised muslin bag.
I just love these cute muslin bags from Barbe a Papa!:

Thank you Isabelle for sharing this amazing Snow White party for your daughter!
Last week we celebrated my youngest daughter Naomi’s 2nd birthday. I decided to keep it small because we are expecting our 3rd child in January 2015 – which we are thrilled about!
However I lost all party planning motivation during first trimester and with all the tiredness which comes with 1st trimester I really didn’t want to put pressure on myself in the party department!
So I kept the guest list quite small and kept things my version of simple without worrying at all about whether I would even share this party on the blog.
About a week before the party, motivation started to return and I got myself organised! I am finding parties require less effort to put together now that I know where to source everything from and I already have some standard party items and decor at home (eg: cake stands, mini jars etc) so it didn’t take much to put this party together.
All vendors used were from my children’s party directory of course.
Naomi love’s Peppa Pig so that was the theme for her party. I will share the different vendors/items I used at the party in case you want to source any of these items yourself.
Here is the Peppa Pig inspired dessert table for the party – I went bright with the colour scheme and that lovely tassel garland is by Divine Drops. It actually hangs much more nicely in person but the heater was on and blowing the tassels around:
I also loved the giant 2 balloon and petite tassel sourced from Ruby Rabbit Partyware (the tassel is created by Party Pony Designer Pinata’s and you can find similar here ).
I hired this mini picket fence from Tiny Tots Toy Hire to go with a Peppa Pig/garden feel.
I love this Peppa Pig inspired printable collection from Style Me Gorgeous and it is what I used for the printables and it also inspired the cake and cookies:
Here is the lovely cake that Minnie from Minnie’s Sweet Creations made for Naomi. It tasted AMAZING! It was inspired by the printables but I also requested Peppa and her friends on the cake as well:
Here it is on the table and again I found yet another use for the pink mini picket fences I purchased from Saffy and May a few parties ago – just to help decorate the riser and tie in with the front picket fence.
The cookies were created by Megan of Love Every Detail in Melbourne who shipped them to me. I left the design up to her and inspired by the printable she created a GORGEOUS selection of cookies that were also delicious! Both the cake and cookies were easily finished by the end of the day:
Here are some table shots:
Besides the cake and cookies I kept the dessert table simple with jelly (a standard favourite!) and fruit cups. These bright confetti dot spoons matched the colour scheme perfectly and I found them at Ruby Rabbit partyware here
I also thought I would try out these mini balloons from Ruby Rabbit partyware and use them as little toppers in the fruit cups for a bit of fun.
Here are more of the Style Me Gorgeous printable labels in use.
The kids party table and chairs I hired from Tiny Tots Toy Hire. Kept it quite simple and bright with just some Peppa Pig masks and plenty of room in the middle for all the kids food.
One of my favourite items had to be these cute Peppa Pig favour boxes by Pretty Little Vintage! They are just adorable! They had a personalised thank you message on the back but I also attached the printable thank you labels to the side:
I filled them with a few different items and I had to do a share of these cute little clips from one of my vendors Little Miss Charlie’s Treasures which I included in the girls favour boxes.
Besides the dessert table I didn’t decorate too much else for the party besides some helium balloons but I did use these really fun Peppa Pig pom poms created by Theme It Party Boxes. Dana can create any character and I ordered Rebecca Rabbit, Emily Elephant and Suzy Sheep. Then it was just a matter of fluffing the pom and assembling the pieces together.
Now pom fluffing is not one of my talents so I don’t think I quite did these pom’s justice however they were cute none the less!:
And lastly here are some pictures with the birthday girl who had a lot of fun! We hired a ball pit from Tiny Tots Toy Hire which she loved and now being 2 she was quite excited about cutting the cake and everyone singing happy birthday.
So there you have it…another party over and although I didn’t think I’d be able to pull it together thankfully the start of the 2nd trimester of pregnancy hit me with a bit of energy and I could enjoy the day as well.
Thanks for taking the time to have a read and share in a bit of this Peppa Pig inspired celebration.
I’m excited to share with you the beautiful work of one of my blog sponsors Save the Date Events who provide event planning and styling services in Sydney as well as styled dessert tables!
Christening Reception styling
Nicole who owns Save the Date Events first realised her passion for creating beautiful events when she hosted her friend’s bridal shower.
She explains – “It started with a simple colour scheme and the end result was a gorgeous backyard garden affair. I received a lot of compliments from the guests and thought that I should pursue things further and start my own business. I absolutely loved planning my own wedding and wanted to feel that rush of organising an event all the time, and Save the Date Events was born!”
How fun is this Lion King inspired table?:

Like many of us, Nicole explains that she has always had an interest in the pretty things in life and loves that she is able to express her creativity through working with her clients on their events. She enjoys working with clients to come up with unique and special ideas to suit their vision for an event.
This popcorn bar is such a fantastic idea for something different to a standard candy buffet:
Popcorn and sweets birthday bar
Nicole loves all of life’s celebrations and incorporating hand-made items and craft throughout each event to add a unique and personal touch.
I am totally swooning over this table!:

I’m excited to share this gorgeous Christmas styling from Allison of Wild Rose Sweets & Styling , who is one of the vendors on the Life’s Little Celebration’s Children’s Party Directory.
As soon as I saw the images I knew I wanted to share this. I just love the combination of the pinks & aquas with silver as well as the meaningful touches Allison added through the prints and the words used on table.
All credits are at the end of the post. Hope you enjoy the images like I did!:
Such a beautiful cake with stunning toppers. Love the little baubles on the cake stand too – it is little touches like this which you can incorporate into your own christmas table even without a professionally made cake.
The little pots look lovely filled with Vanilla Bean Panacotta. You can buy similar pots here.
Allison made all the sweets including the Salted Caramel Macarons, White Chocolate & Pistachio Rocky Road and Coconut Ice
Love this idea of hanging a decoration over the candy jar for a gorgeous Christmas styling idea!:
Using the words of a Christmas song presented on a Christmas table really helps add extra meaning – I love this one that Allison used:
Too gorgeous right? I hope you received some inspiration and enjoyed the Christmas eye candy!
