The client's request was simply for a princess party, which also would celebrate the birthday girl's approaching kindergarten graduation. So I was inspired by two things ... 1. an adorable chair that I stumbed upon in an antique store and immediately imagined in pink and gold, which became my color palette and 2.to honor the bday girl's upcoming kinder graduation as a "crowning achievement" I accented the decor with gold crowns here and there.

I LOVE the fall because all of the BEST holidays are this time of year, starting with Halloween. We're designing a couple of Halloween candy buffets, and as a personal challenge, we're attempting to design a frightfully FAB party on a $500 budget! Stay tuned for more about that. In the meantime, here are a few pics from Halloweens past! Enjoy!

took the week off ... and leaped from 600 fans to 700 fans. Wow! We really appreciate the visits and the "likes." Thank you!

We designed the sweetest little party for a client's daughter this weekend. Although the birthday girl is currently fascinated with baby animals, rather than going with an obvious theme of baby animals, we based the design on what most fascinates the little girl about the animals ... their soft furiness. Thus, "Feathers, fur and frou frou ... oh my!" was our theme, and we incorporated the theme with the use of lots of marabou and chandelle feathers, a soft color palette of ballet slipper pink and cream, and pearl accents. For entertainment, we hired a company that brought in baby bunnies, little chicks and the cutest miniature ponies!

Early in the week, a client called with a dilemma ... party on Friday and absolutely no decor or entertainment. With literally days to work, we pulled together something to satisfy the 10-year-old bday girl's love of purple and all things sassy. Our party hostesses helped the party girls decorate cupcakes and make grape soda body cream, strawberry bath salts w/sprinkles, chocolate lip gloss and sweet & sour sandy candy. What sweet & sassy fun!

This was a fun custom-designed party for a client who gives me free reign to design fabulously for her little girl! Thanks CJ Martin/RM Photography for the wonderful photos!

ended the year on a project that was a little bit of work ... and a whole lotta play! We styled a Mardi Gras themed birthday party for a friend who turned FABULOUS 50! We provided decor for her cake, gift and buffet tables ... that was the work. And then came the play ... and play we did. Had an absolute blast with Renee, our Jack and Jill friends, et al. Happy Birthday Renee!

recently designed and coordinated an event to help our client celebrate her 1-year-old son's birthday in a BIG way! After weeks of planning, we had such fun at our little circus.

Dylan's is one of our favorite stores, and we were thrilled when a client allowed us to style her event there recently. She wanted her daughter's party to be a tad more customized than Dylan's standard party package. So we created sweet lollipop invitations, vibrant placesettings that would complement the bubblegum table, and fabulous gift bags filled with goodies like Dylan's tees and custom lollipop bottlecap necklaces personalized with the girls' monograms. What a fun, tasty time we all had! Thanks Amanda!

Welcome to Part 2 of our “Wicked Bling” Halloween feature… Angela from Fantasy Celebrations is back with some creative ideas on how to incorporate this theme into a spooktacular dinner party tablescape!

10/29/2009

Just for fun, Fantasy Celebrations repurposed some of the elements used for last weekend's event to design a tablescape to complement the 'Wicked Bling Halloween' theme. Enjoy!

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of working with a client and friend to style her annual Halloween party. I became fixated on a theme of blinged-out skulls ... wicked bling! What fun!! Thanks Karen for allowing Fantasy Celebrations to be part of your event!! Can't wait to see pics of the fun that followed.

We had to quickly put together a candy bar this weekend for a client who was having a luau-themed pool party for her daughter...and had a ton of snafus along the way. Like the candy all being completely different colors when it arrived. But it was remedied, and turn out decently...or sweetly rather!

Last year, I found Little Ant Design's blog post full of fun back to school ideas that would be perfect for a school-themed kick-off with the kiddos!

We're gearing up to provide a candy bar for an upcoming client, and one thing we're certain to have on the bar are some of those delectable cake pops as inspired by Bakerella who first appeared on Martha Stewart last year to share her fun creation. We revisted Bakerella's blog today to get the instructions for the basic cake pop, and we found this delightful treat we had to share ... just in time for Back to School.

Candy Apples… minus the apples.It's back to school time already, so I thought I'd show you these super cute apple cake pops to celebrate. They are among some of the 50+ designs I've worked on so far. ...
