Magazine Feature: Naomi’s Floral Holy Communion

Just before lockdown, earlier in June, we were able to celebrate our daughter Naomi’s First Holy Communion. The wonderful Angie of Angie B Events styled the celebration for us with a floral theme –  in collaboration with some amazing Celebrate Society members – and I think you will agree the result is truly stunning and so so special!

The photos were captured by Mimi Rouh Photography and the venue was at Cropley House.

This was featured in Issue 13 of Celebrating Little One’s Magazine

 

 

The sun was glowing through the beautiful backdrop from Belle events which was decorated with stunning florals from Abby K Events and a personalised name sign by Press and Cut Co:

 

 

 

 

The Holy Communion cake by Sweet Fingers truly blew me away!! It was absolutely delicious too!

 

 

It was topped off with florals by Abby K Events and a Cross sign by Press and Cut Co. The result was so unique and beautiful!:

 

 

 

 

The acrylics by Press n Cut co on the backdrop and cake were truly stunning, and they also created personalised labels for the favour boxes:

 

 

 

 

These tags were so stunning by Press n Cut Co!

 

The beautiful table setting was dressed with florals, cookies by Cakes with Punch and stunning plate covers by Eve and Co Stationery:

 

 

There was such gorgeous detailing on the favour cross cookies by Cakes with Punch:

 

 

These cookies with beautiful floral design by Cakes with Punch were enjoyed by all and was a beautiful take home favour for a Holy Communion:

 

We also showcased the stunning cross lights by Luxe Adore Co which give off such a beautiful glow and suit a Holy Communion celebration so well!

 

 

The floral design by Eve and Co Stationery helped to inspire so much of the decor and it was truly stunning and carried through to the plate covers and activity box labels. Her design was elegant and perfect for a Holy Communion invitation.

 

 

The activity boxes were created using favour boxes from The Party Parlour and they were filled with little toys for the kids to play with inside! Displayed so beautifully on this new acrylic cart from Belle Events!:

 

 

The Party Parlour boxes were dressed up wonderfully with these labels by Eve and Co Stationery!:

 

 

 

The kids also enjoyed take home fairy floss from The Fairy Floss Club:

Parisian Painting 10th birthday party

 

 

Oooh la la its off to Paris we go with this Parisian Painting party for my eldest daughter Rebekah’s 10th birthday!

Featured in Issue 12 of our Celebrating Little Ones magazine: https://issuu.com/lifeslittlecelebrations/docs/celebrating_little_ones_magazine_march_2021_final 

Angie of Angie B Event Styling collaborated with a range of Celebrate Society members to style this setup with red, pink, rose gold and hints of black and white for a gorgeous cake setting & painting setup!

Eve and Co stationery designed this custom invitation to suit a Parisian Painting party for Rebekah perfectly and which set the tone for the rest of the decor:

 

The cake setup was created using gorgeous panel props from Ruby’s Prop Hire which were covered in decals designed by Eve and Co stationery and printed by Am Creative who also printed the name decal:

 

Party Splendour created the gorgeous balloon decor which framed this beautiful setting:

 

My beautiful daughter enjoyed this 10th birthday party so much after such a crazy 2020!

 

The details on the cake by JK Cake Designs were truly gorgeous…from the Eiffel Tower..to the bicycle…to the baubles to match the balloons!:

 

 

 

The outside setting for the Parisian Painting activity was truly ‘magnifique!’

With berets for each girl on their chair and Eiffel tower canvases, along with beautiful table settings with treats galore…this truly was a stunning setting:

 

The plates and tableware were from Ruby Rabbit partyware with a gorgeous mix of pink, rose gold and black and white and:

 

 

 

 

 

The other touching details included the gorgeous lunch boxes put together by Cookie Queen Kitsch’n, cookies by Petite cookies, Magnum pop by Cookie Queen Kitsch’n, Cookie Mix Favour bottle from Sweet Health and Fairy Floss bauble from Your Sweet Memories.

 

 

I loved how the design by Eve and Co Stationery was carried through to the decor and desserts:

 

 

The design looked so gorgeous on these magnum pops by Cookie Queen Kitsch’n !

 

 

Petite Cookies created such stunning (and delicious) cookies with rose gold touches!:

 

The girls loved the fairy floss favours from Your Sweet Memories and Cookie mix favours from Sweet Health:

 

The girls enjoyed the Painting activities run by Decorati who transported them to Paris with Parisian music and Eiffel tower inspiration!

 

 

 

 

Age 10 was the perfect age for a parisian party as the girls really got into the activities and spent time on their artwork!:

 

 

They were able to enjoy a painting snack all themed thanks to Cookie Queen Kitsch’n with her themed lunchboxes!

 

 

It truly was such a fun afternoon that Rebekah will always remember and I thank all the vendors who helped to bring it together and most of all Angie of Angie B Event Styling!

Magazine Shoot: Slumber Party

Slumber parties have become so popular for the tween and early teen age group and Slumber Tribe in Melbourne was inspired to put together this gorgeous shoot for our magazine to inspire everyone as to how it could be themed.

 

There were many unique aspects to this shoot such as the Boho Luxe canopy and picnic table which provided the perfect setting for the girls to enjoy the grazing boxes by Sweet Sensations with the pastel flower shaped partywear, delicate hats and gold cups from The Party Parlour.

 

 

 

 

 

The cake cart made for a beautiful sweets display, surrounded by peachy floral décor and the teepees where they played, talked and slept. All the beautiful desserts were also by Sweet Sensations

As you will see, the desserts were incredible!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The robes offered another unique touch to the party and brought the theming into play and made for beautiful photos and portraits. The balloon and wall décor was all DIY so don’t be afraid to get creative, a balloon stylist would be highly recommended if you are time poor.

To ensure the girls were entertained there were live illustrations of the girls by Party Portraits by Danni along with hair braiding and glitter facepaint by Little Party Faces. This shows that there are definitely entertainment options even for the tween age group!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Besides the illustrations the girls also were able to take home beautiful personalised gold bag tags by Serendipity Design corner.

 

 

 

As you can see – even for 12 year olds there is a LOT that you can do for a slumber party to make it an unforgettable experience! Thanks to all the vendors involved in this collaboration shoot for our magazine:

Disco kids birthday party feature – Good vibes only!

 

I am SO excited to share with you this amazing disco party by Memorable Parties Perth . This party will blow you away! Skye from Memorable Parties in Perth shares more with us below:

“Good Vibes Only was the concept for Asher’s 7th birthday party, which combined a pamper bus with sparkle dance party for a full afternoon extravaganza! Having launched Memorable Parties Perth 9 months prior, it was my opportunity to work with some of my favourite and trusted vendors to give my daughter a party to remember!

The concept and colour scheme began from custom acrylic plate discs and drink swizzle sticks, featuring fun pre-teen motifs such as conversation hearts, kissing lips, and rainbows in vibrant pink and peach tones.

A neon ‘Let’s Party’ sign and phenomenal preserved floral arrangement, including silver baubles to mimic pops of silver balloon orbs, added the perfect finishing touch to an epic balloon and streamer feature wall installation which was styled to match the colour scheme.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A new fairy floss cone arch ‘wall’ and gourmet fairy floss cart, embellished with more balloons, was the perfect extension of wall installation which spanned the warehouse. Floss cones featured the same pre-teen motifs to stay on theme. With flavours such as birthday cake and marshmallow, the floss was a popular sugar hit to fuel the dance party.

 

 

 

So as not to detract from the feature wall, we choose to display desserts on acrylic, with iridescent and pink plinths displaying additional desserts. Aside from dictating colours, I put full trust in Tenielle from Savour the Date to create a trio of birthday cakes which we set at varying heights on custom acrylic stands.

Other desserts included donuts, cake cones with acrylic swizzle sticks, mini cupcakes, apricot marshmallows, chocolate pyramids, chocolate covered pretzels, cakesicles with acrylic pop sticks, and my favourite salted caramel tarts

 

 

 

 

Preserved florals also featured on children’s tables which were adored with pink iridescent fabric, pink chairs, and included table wear, kissing lip napkins, & bon bons in the colour palette.

Asher’s nickname is Smasher, so we included a mini heart smash cake at each place setting, individually boxed with miniature wooden malate and tag ‘I hope you had a smashing time!’ Fresh vibrate grazing, with crowd favourite sliders, looked to be gravitating on acrylic risers along the length of the table.

 

 

When guests arrived, we loaded them with healthy grazing before the pamper bus drove up and was met with shrieks of excitement. Asher had eagerly watched videos of the pamper bus on socials for months and was ecstatic it was finally her turn.

 

Donning cute dressing gowns, the girls entered the bus like royalty via red carpet. The girls delighted in declaring the bus a parent-free zone, affording us 90 minutes to reset the room ready for the disco and enjoy some drinks and grazing in peace!

The girls were pampered with essential oil and rose petal foot spas, toe polish, and hair styling as they chatted, giggled, and read age-appropriate magazines.

 

 

 

 

Whilst having their hair styled, Asher’s friends completed custom ‘Asher is a special friend because’ worksheets which were given to Asher as beautiful keepsakes.

The pampering concluded with neon face paint and dancing to their music of choice under the buses UV lights.

 

The girls exited the pamper bus with massive smiles, looking glam and ready to continue the party with Born to Sparkle’s sparkle dance party!

A sparkle technician was on hand to sparkle guests with glitter tattoo and face sparkles as our party host conducted non-stop games and dancing whilst the DJ spun the tunes. Crowd favourites included the parachute, industrial bubble machine and limbo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was nervous leading up the party – with a 5-hour duration I was afraid the kids would be tired and emotional come dance party time; however, the party host was so remarkable and kept the kids pumped and entertained – you would never have guessed they had already been partying for hours.

I could not be prouder of this party! My amazing vendors nailed their briefs and brought their A-game to deliver an epic event to remember.” – Skye, Memorable Parties Perth.

 

Wow! Truly amazing right? I am sure you were blown away just as I was! Here are the vendors involved so you can find them if you’re sourcing something used in this party!:
