This summer, I was so excited to get to hang out with Loralee Lewis in Utah for a day!  Loralee was in the middle of designing a photo shoot to show her Swan Lake paper collection…and she pulled out all the stops to create such beautiful imagery to go along with the gorgeous designs she put to paper!  I laughed as she told me about the swan pinata she was handmaking…and the lovely tulle dresses she had in mind…and the rainboots that she was spray painting gold for the girls.  Needless to say, I couldn’t wait to see it all come together!  It is even more beautiful than I could have imagined it would be, and I am thrilled to share it with you!  

Look at the adorable dresses and the gold boots!

The dessert table really is a dream!

The popcorn boxes and favor boxes are so beautiful! Popcorn never felt so fancy!

Here is the amazing swan pinata!  I love it that Loralee made it herself!  I am not sure I could’ve let them smash it after all of the time and effort that I know went into making it! It is impressive…

I truly adore this party idea!  It is so pretty for a favorite ballerina or someone (like me) who enjoys watching ballet! I love the unique touches that make this party twirl with gorgeous details!  See the invitation below and be sure to follow the link to Loralee Lewis’ shop to find all of the paper products in this lovely collection!

If you would like to create a party with this theme, you are in luck!  Loralee Lewis’s shop is online and ready to serve you!  Here is the direct link to the Swan Lake Collection.

 

Thank you for sharing this lovely party idea, Loralee!  You make everything magical!

CAMILLE’S FIESTA ~ MEXICAN THEME BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time!  My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun!  Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes!  For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor!  So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child! 

LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party!  For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style!  So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan!  It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN!  Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”. 

CAMILLE’S CLUBHOUSE ~ Confectionery, Soda Shoppe, Spa

My daughter had lots of ideas of what she wanted to do to celebrate her 10th birthday!  She wanted to have lots of cookies~ and have a soda shoppe ~ and set up a spa for nail painting!  With so many ideas, I knew we should come up with something that would tie it all together.  And, that is how Camille’s Clubhouse became the theme- the Clubhouse is where you can find lots of her favorite things!  We sent invitations with a an insert that had a “password” that had to be unscrambled and brought to the party for “entry”.  That was an easy way to get the guests involved before the party even started!
