ISSUE 20: ILLUSTRATION THEME MAGAZINE SHOOT

 

As a mum of teen/tween daughters – I really appreciated having this theme in our recent magazine as it can often be difficult in these ages to find appropriate party themes!

However Luxury Picnic Events and Grace Choi Artist combined to create a fashion illustration party held at Grace’s venue – A Little Bite Studio

Scroll through to enjoy the photos and find the full vendor list at the end of this post

 

The gorgeous backdrop and florals were styled by C3 Event Styling to create a beautiful setting and to showcase the illustration by Grace Choi Artist that was printed by Jo’s Signs by Design:

 

 

Grace also created custom illustrations for each of the girls and these were set on the picnic setting created by Luxury Picnic Events:

 

 

 

The stunning cake was a true work of art by Cake from the Heart!

 

Just love the illustrations she incorporated into this cake:

 

 

 

 

Gorgeous cookies by Baked by AKA were a beautiful addition, with custom illustrations by Grace Choi Artist:

 

 

 

Sweet bon bon favours by Karamela Candy boxes made a lovely addition to the table styling also:

 

 

And the cookie mix bottles by Sweet Health were cutomised to suit the theme and we love the custom labels to say “throw a little fashion into the mix”!

 

 

 

 

Such a delightful idea for a beautiful party for a teen or tween girl incorporating fashion and illustration!

Parisian Party Supplies

Come away to Paris with a selection of gorgeous Paris party supplies!

A parisian party can be styled in so many ways…..think poodles and eiffle towers and chandelliers….you could theme it as a pamper or fashion party…. a ballet party or a sweet parisian high tea! I have showcased mainly pink/black party supplies but you could also go with a red/blue/white colour scheme as well for something different!
