:::Zebra&Elephant 1st Birthday:::

Zebra Elephant Party

I was so excited to style this event for a friend of mine. We combined her daughter's love of elephants, her obsession with zebra print, added in hot pink and the cutest birthday theme was born! We made sure to include the birthday girl and a cute elephant on the invitation.

Zebra Elephant Invitation

We had big plans for this party but the challenge was, decorations needed to be on a budget.
I painted zebra stripes on white paper and covered coffee cans for the centerpieces. We made tissue paper flowers in pink and black. The little balloons tied to elephant figurines were made from wire and pom poms.

The dessert table turned out beautiful. I trimmed the front of the table with pink pom pom trim.

The cake was the main centerpiece of the dessert table and I made a pink tulle skirt to go around the cake stand. It sat on a box covered in zebra print paper.

 I designed a Mommy & Baby Elephant artwork and displayed it in a hot pink frame. Elephants held little name banners and cupcakes were topped with the little elephant design from the invitation.

I painted a large elephant and little pink bows were cut out for guests to play, 'Pin the bow on the elephant.' Parents could also create 'Elephant hand print art' with their child.

I had a great time styling this event...Happy Birthday Ava!

:::Bridal Shower ::: Ooh La La:::

Bridal Shower Dessert Table

I was super excited to style this event. Friends of the bride threw her a memorable bridal shower. They chose hot pink and black for the colors. The table was dressed with a hot pink table cloth and white fabric was swagged along the edge. It was tied off with black bows.

Lil' chocolate candy bows and corsets were made for the tops of the cupcakes. 

They were also displayed on a platter.

Tissue pom pom balls and a name banner were made. 

Each letter of the banner had a ruffle of black lace.

Center pieces were topped off with a hot pink tissue ball 

and black crystal beads were hung down the center of the glass vase.

Glass jars held different scents of potpourri and guests were able to 

fill lil' organza bags with potpourri.  

Anchor Motif: Thank You Tags

Each bag was tied off with a lil' thank you tag so the bride can be remembered 

every time they see the bag in their lingerie drawer. 

Altogether, it was a fun party to style!
