Any fruit based theme is always bound to be cute and a cherry themed party – one of the cutest! This sweet but on trend-theme was the inspiration behind the “Cherry on top” shoot which graced the cover of the first issue of “Celebrating Little Ones” magazine!
It was styled by the always talented Dream a Little Dream Events incorporating partyware from Ruby Rabbit Partyware and photographed by Love Her Photography:
It all started with this sweet invitation using custom illustrations by Elk Prints (also seen in the above party backdrop) and brought together in this invitation by Eve & Co Stationery:
As you can see – the invitation really came to life with the party setup!:
The amazing sign which was part of the backdrop was created by Communicake It:
The cakes and desserts did not dissapoint – all created by My Petite Sweets in Perth:
I love all the cute setups which were incorporated into this shoot! Also loving the cute favour boxes by Glitter and Glue Designs:
Isn’t this the sweetest?:
This truly was such an inspiring shoot – showcasing ideas of what could be used for a Cherry themed party as well as ideas of how certain partyware or props can be used to bring a party theme alive!

See this shoot and much more in the first issue of Celebrating Little Ones magazine!:
Today I am delighted to finally share with you the 2nd shoot which was a collaboration of Life’s Little Celebration partners for Confetti Fair magazine!
Life’s Little Celebration partners collaborated on 4 shoots inspired by air, water, earth and fire and this engagement dessert table shoot was inspired by “fire” with a modern and playful feel!
Lopa from The Pumpkin Carriage coordinated and styled this gorgeous suit, collaborating with a range of LLC partners whose details are below.! Photos were captured beautifully by Captured by Kirri.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBrHILVzq6M
The colour scheme was inspired by the colours of a blazing flame including lots of red, orange and yellow set against a clean white background to highlight the fiery colours.
The theme was brought to life with lots of red hearts and elements of fire on the table including heart shaped macarons and cookies, mini dessert cups with hearts on them whilst the cake and cupcakes represented fire!
The jumbo red balloons stand out as a fun element to this dessert table and I love the tassels created for them!:
The fiery effect on the engagement cake looks amazing:
I love the concept and 3D effect of this heart backdrop which also tied in with the invitation:
The fire theme and colours were really seen throughout the array of desserts which included everything from mini dessert cups to cupcakes, macarons, cake pops and cookies:
The final little details really made this engagement dessert table extra special!:
I hope this engagement dessert table inspired anyone planning an engagement party or anyone wanting to do a party using this colour scheme!
