Excited to share this bright floral fiesta party by Cath Roberts of Faux Floral Designs which was a collaboration shoot for Issue 21 of Celebrating Little One’s magazine
She was inspired by the work of Frida Khalo and as her self portraits feature floral headwear she thought it was a great way to connect the vibrant colour theme with a fun activity of making flower crowns for a teenage birthday shoot!
As you can see the faux florals used throughout were a real feature!
Guests were greeted with a fun welcome area!
The invitation and all the stationery design matched the Floral Fiesta theme perfectly:
All the decorations and desserts were bright and fun – to make this floral fiesta party come alive!
The cake was a true work of art as an illustration Frida Khalo and featuring floral headwear:
All the desserts and favours had so much floral details and gorgeous colours for this floral fiesta party!
The table arrangements carried on the bright colours and fiesta details!
A unique feature of this party was this custom spinning wheel which had design to match the theme!
The girls enjoyed making a flower crown each and this flower crown making workshop was perfect for this age group:
We hope you enjoyed this fun floral fiesta party and it has inspired you for a theme or ideas for a teenage birthday party! View the whole magazine HERE

Llamas have been one of the most popular trends this year and definitely a fun and unique kids party theme! So it was a no-brainer we had to have a Life’s Little Celebrations collaboration shoot in our magazine with a Llama theme! Saffy & May in Queensland brilliantly styled and coordinated this shoot with other members and as you can see…the result is llama-mazing!
The setup brought in huge pops of colour, as well as cactus decor to bring in the mexican fiesta feel!
The Llama cake and llama and cactus desserts were just perfect for this party! Especially with a unique theme where it is hard to find items in the shops…using our kids party members who can custom create items such as toppers is the way to go to keep everything coordinated!
This party is an inspiration for any bright theme, whether it be a llama theme, mexican fiesta or just any summery kids party!
You can find it all and more in Issue 5 of our e-magazine!

It’s always exciting when a new wave of party themes take over our Instagram feed, and right now one of the hottest trends is an unlikely one! Swans, flamingos and unicorns have had their time….now it’s time for the Llama!
Better known for carrying backpacks through the Andes (or Emperor Kuzco in The Emperor’s New Groove), the humble llama has exploded onto the party scene, bringing with it plenty of colour and festivity for any occasion.

A mexican fiesta is perfect for the summer and is an on trend party theme at the moment! Cactus is the ‘new pineapple’ and you may have already spotted a cactus (or two!) popping up around the stores at the moment making it even easier to organise a fiesta themed party.
