Flamingos are my latest obsession . I think it's mainly due the fact that it's the perfect summer party theme. And that they're pink, of course! Not sure they'd be such a hit if they were a different color ;) So for our flamingo pool party last weekend , we (my 8 year old daughter and I) made some DIY flamingo table decorations and headbands that double duty as photo booth props!
Much like pineapples , Flamingos have been trending on the party scene for a couple of years now. And I for one, have been totally itching to style a pink flamingo party FOR EVER! Well, last weekend, we got to do just that. I say “we”, because my little girl and I got to plan it together! :) If you follow my snaps (username BirdsParty) you'll have seen all the party prep and sneak peeks of the party itself!
Hey guys, I'm so beyond excited to share with you this party I styled for my younger sister's 25th birthday! As you probably know, pineapples are EVERYWHERE these days, and I've been dying to style a fun themed party using our latest pineapple printables ! So when my little sis came over (from Rio) for her birthday a few weeks ago, we couldn't pass up the chance to party like pineapples ;)
Did you catch the super awesome Superhero themed birthday party we shared earlier in the week? It was super creative and gave me the idea to use some of the printables to create a super colorful cupcake stand. This DIY is mega easy and you can make larger stands by varying the sizes, or even make several tiers like in this tutorial I shared a while back . The principle is the exact same.
The Superhero party theme is one of the very first I designed for the shop . So I felt this year it needed to be jazzed up slightly. Kinda like a printable makeover. Which ALWAYS gets me in the party mood! So I did a double happy dance when my good friend Virginie reached out to use our Superhero printables for her little Romain's 5th birthday party! Especially because we then get to see them in super pow wow action :)
Whatever you have planned for July 4th break, entertaining guests or just chilling out with family an friends is bound to happen at some point. Which brings me to the great topic of food and great party appetizers!
For my Mediterranean inspired party ( see photos here ), I wanted to use some funky, abstract art napkins to match my relaxed blue tablescape. But it wasn't meant to be, so I had no choice but to make my own! The technique is super easy and works a treat for re-purposing old fabrics or thrift store linens you may have around the house.
