Christmas Partyware 2014

Christmas preparations seem to be starting earlier this year so to join in the fun I launched the “Christmas Showcase” on my Facebook page showcasing a range of Christmas decor, desserts, gifts, printables and more – all from vendors on the Life’s Little Celebration’s Directory.

In this post I am sharing the gorgeous and unique items which fall under the “PARTYWEAR” category of the showcase! Of course you can find loads of Christmas items at the shops, however here you can plan your Christmas celebrations easily from home and support some lovely small businesses as well.

Introducing Love The Occasion

Today I’m pleased to introduce you to Love The Occasion which is a boutique, online store providing all things beautiful to create a celebration.

 

Online you will find everything you need to plan a birthday, anniversary or baby shower, an engagement, wedding or to turn a simple gathering into a fabulous and memorable occasion.

From invitations to tableware, decorations to glassware and gifts, their inspiring solutions, exquisite products and practical tools make theming and styling your own event a piece of cake!

 

I personally love that when browsing the Love The Occasion store you will find items you don’t find in other party boutiques.

Every product has been thoughtfully sourced or created with love and uniqueness in mind. Although they prefer to source locally and love to create and hand-make their own products, they also scour the globe in search of products that will add something a little bit different to an occasion.

 

 

They have wonderful and fun party products to suit a range of kids party themes and occasions:

 

 

 

Love the Occasion is the creative vision of Megan Wolfe.

I was lucky enough to meet Megan in person when she exhibited at Confetti Fair Sydney (you can see her beautifully presented stand below) – she is cheerful, down to earth, lovely and honest to deal with!

Immersed in a traditional and imaginative childhood, she watched her mum and nana conjure up magical celebrations year after year. Megan’s talent for combining traditional with modern, quirky with stylish and fun with elegant ensures there is something unique for everyone!

 

 

This encapsulates the essence of Love the Occasion and everything Megan loves in life – celebrating, treasuring and enjoying every moment with family and friends.

I highly recommend browsing the Love the Occasion online store next time you are looking for some stylish party supplies for your next celebration!

In the midst of party planning!

It’s just a week away until my daughter’s 4th birthday party

I cannot BELIEVE I am planning her 4th birthday…it is crazy how time flies! I started this blog when she was only 6 months old and planning her 1st birthday…and now here we are!

We decided on a Princess theme as she is a real girly girl and loves all things Princess at the moment.

I’ve decided to share a snapshot of some of the items I’ve included when party planning for this party.

I’ve found party planning easier as time has gone on since I’ve accumulated already a range of items that I don’t need to purchase each time I have a party (eg: cake stand, hanging decorations etc).

As always I support the vendors on the Life’s Little Celebration’s Directory so all the below items are sourced from them. Of course a few items are missing and once everything is captured on the day by Nikki Fitt photography I’ll be sharing the photos

I am not an event stylist but I always enjoy putting together something creative for my children’s parties and I love actually using the products which I so often see and promote online! I’m one of those weird people who get excited about partyware!

Being 7.5 months pregnant at the moment means I also will try and keep the styling side of things a little easy on myself and I’ve also booked Cinderella from Fairy Fun to help entertain the kids on the day

Rebekah is so excited and that is the best part of it all!

 

Pony & My Little Pony Party Supplies
