This gorgeous farmyard inspired shoot for Issue 21 of Celebrating Little One’s magazine (our free online magazine) is a cute mix of pastels and neutrals for a pretty country party theme which could work for a farmyard or cowgirl party theme

 

 

Styled by Events on Citrus (Melbourne) at their wonderful venue – Melina also created the stunning cake for the shoot:

 

 

All the details were looked after to create a real farmyard feel for this 5th birthday party shoot:

Cowboy/Western Party Theme

I’ve seen a few fantastic cowboy parties recently which inspired this blog post. There are so many ways to make a Cowboy/Wild West party fun with a chance for the kids to dress up and many fantastic props you could use to decorate/style this party theme.

For this theme think patterns such as cow print, bandana print, gingham or stars. As for colours you can incorporate reds, denim blues, whites and blacks or rustic browns and wooden props.
