With Christmas fast approaching (almost too fast!) I know many of you are planning various Christmas gatherings – whether it’s for your family, your friends or the kids! So here is some Christmas inspiration based around a Winter wonderland theme based around white of course, with some blue and silver mixed in as possible options. Red is another possible colour to work into this theme as it looks lovely with white and ice blue. You could also incorporate gold instead of silver into this theme.
Incorporate snow flakes, white trees and reindeers, snow and lovely Christmas items which you can easily find in the shopping centres as well as online, to create a winter wonderland feel!
Hope you enjoy this selection =)

Hope you have enjoyed this dose of Winter Wonderland inspiration! More Christmas inspiration will be coming to the Life’s Little Celebrations blog soon =)
What are your Christmas colours? It’s a question that seems to be getting discussed a lot lately on facebook.
Do you go traditional red, green and white? Do you like to change it up every year? Or do you stick to the same (but unique) colour palette each time?
We all know Christmas is about a lot more than just the colours we decorate in and it’s important that we don’t put pressure on ourselves as mum’s to have a Christmas tree or dessert table that is ‘magazine worthy’ – especially when you have children who want to be hand’s on in the decorating!
However I always find decorating in a colour scheme (and choosing the colours) is a fun part of the early Christmas preparations!
Here is some colour inspiration for you based starting off with what is fast becoming quite a popular colour combination – bold red and soft aqua:
Red and Aqua Christmas table – Save the Date for Cupcakes Blog
Red and Aqua christmas – Country Living
I love these soft colour palettes of blue with creams and golds for a fresh look:

With a different shade of blue and gold you can create a warm feel:

Blue and gold Christmas tree – Country Living
A unique pink, gold and blue colour palette makes for a bright and beautiful Christmas spread:

Vibrant purple is a great colour for Christmas! Team it with a bold red:

Pink seems to be the ‘new red’ of Christmas! A soft pink, gold and silver colour scheme would look gorgeous:

You could go rustic with browns mixed in with reds, greens or golds:

Add silver to a traditional red and white combination for a stand out look:

Isn’t this a great Christmas centrepiece using baubles? Love it!

Red, white and green will always be a Christmas favourite:

Another take on the pinkcolour scheme, this time with different shades of pink with gold. So elegant…

This is a stunning table! I love how they have brought in elements of traditional red ad green but also mixed in touches of creams and golds:

I hope you have found a Christmas colour combination for Christmas.
It’s impossible to collate every possible Christmas colour combination available. So – what are your Christmas colours? Did I include them in this selection or are you doing something different? I’d love to hear from you!
With spring just around the corner, now is a perfect time to be planning a cute birdy theme party for your little one! This is a party theme which can take on a myriad of different colour schemes so I’ll be sharing various items which you could use regardless of which colour path you go down!
I haven’t focused on plates/cups/napkins etc in this post since the tableware could be based around many different colour options! However perhaps you may draw some colour inspiration from some of the invitation ideas I have featured below.
First up is this popular Alannah Rose invitation with a cute red bird featured. There are a few matching items available to go along with this design as well:
Lala Bird invitation – Alannah Rose
Printables are a great option if you want a range of matching stationary for your party! They keep everything coordinated which makes life easier for you as you don’t have to find matching invites/cupcake toppers/banners etc
This vibrant polkadot birdie printable collection is a delightful option for a girl:
Polkadot Birdie – Style Me Gorgeous
Close up of Polka Dot birdie printable – Style Me Gorgeous
However the little birdy theme can be used for boys as well, and this Owl & Bird party printable in a blue and green colour scheme is definitely the way to go:

For a different colour palette I love this bright Lovebird theme with a blue/pink/green combo:

To decorate the party space think pretty birdies, rustic birdcages and lovely birdhouses! Here are some to get you inspired:
These birdy buntings are so sweet and a great alternative to the flag bunting for this party.

Bright pink and chocolate bird garland – Paperklip
For another cute idea, how about these Bird mobiles to hang down around your party area or over the table?

For something really different which would look cute in a nursery afterwards, have a look at this delightful fabric birdcage!

Birdhouses are a great decoration either to place on your table or to hang around the party area. Both these below birdhouses have the option for hanging and would look lovely hanging from a tree outside:
You can’t get prettier than this handpainted wooden birdhouse!
Birdhouse dangly – Purkilicious
Another great option for decoration is some tree decor
Dress up your bird cages and trees with some delightful hanging birds.
This hanging bird tealight holder would be beautiful even without the use of the candle:

Or these fabulous felt birdies would look so pretty as part of your party decor and could even be used as favours. The tree is also available to order as another alternative to a tree decoration:

This footed bowl is so lovely to hold some great treats in but I also chose it for this theme as it reminds me of a beautiful large bird bath you would see in a garden of a mansion in the English countryside! Or is it just me who picks up these things? = )

For a sweet touch on your table you could use these card holders for your food/dessert labels which also make cute decorations:
