Taking the classic nature of Legos, Malu of Malu Mattos Workshop Events, planned a brightly colored gathering that any kid could get excited about. With a fun take on the Lego logo, the birthday banners really stood out in a bold way.

The treat table was a splash of primary colors, keeping eyes busy with so many things to look at and try. The table used was even covered similarly to that of a lego block with colored tape type runners.

The backdrop created for the table was a Lego type font on bright red saying “Vinicius 6th Birthday!” in loud letters. It was framed in a fun pattern that added texture to the decoration. To each side of the banner a large bouquet of bright balloons stood up in the air, adding a full and friendly feature. There were yellow balloons with smiley faces that had adorable little lips on them, adding a cute touch.

To add a little natural touch, brilliantly colored flowers were placed in gorgeous vases that had a block quality to them with a square shape, really blending nicely with the Lego theme.

The entire table was overflowing with tasty treats and colors galore. A lego dish was made to hold bright candies for the kids to enjoy. Cake-pops were put into the most adorable little colored holders, some done with sticks that had Lego pictures to add to the style. There were even delicious looking cupcakes frosted in brown and each toting an adorable edible lego of varying colors to create a rainbowed effect.

For the centerpiece, the cake was true to Lego form, a Lego character made in absolute precision. It had a bold yellow color that really shone and the detailing was immaculate. Set on a tall, white tray, this cake was definitely one of a kind.

The Sugar Plum Sisters went all out on this 40th Birthday Bash, creating an event that everyone was certain to enjoy. They took advantage of the lovely outdoor weather to put together a fantastic venue full of lovely decor and entertainment.

A favorite little touch were the 40th birthday party coaster invites, personalized and bold in brown and orange colors. They had a rustic quality that was very fun.

To create a masculine vibe rustic qualities were incorporated throughout the venue to ensure that both the guys and gals could thoroughly enjoy the events. The tables were covered in fantastic burlap, and chalkboard cloth toppers that stood out remarkably.

For a neat unique touch, rather that using traditional dishware for the party, they used boxes for a one-of-a-kind alternative. They were large enough to hold all the tasty food and each had a personalized birthday label to incorporate the rustic charm.

To give the tables an additional touch of beauty, rustic troughs were filled with succulents and there were an array of lovely peonies in wonderful vases to finish it off.

Instead of regular chairs for each individual, a group cozy feeling was distributed throughout by using benches to sit on. It made it simple for moving around when needed.

Strands of fabulous globe lights were hung to bring a sweet illumination to the tented area, giving a warmth to the atmosphere that was definitely appreciated.

An adult activity set-up at this event was a beer-tasting, letting everyone try not only obscure ales but also well-known options.  The mugs used were a wonderful heavy glass stein that each guest got to take home as a gift at the end of the party. For those who didn’t want to try the beer station a fantastic mojito station was set up to give a taste of strawberry or classic flavoring.

A 40th birthday is a huge milestone that should be rung in with a big celebration and Brittany of GreyGrey Designs did just this, incorporating a fabulous Las Vegas casino theme into an unforgettable birthday party. Simple colors of black, white, and red were used imaginatively to create a party in the image of a Las Vegas casino, wowing guests and making the experience an absolutely unforgettable one.

The decorations were reminiscent of a Las Vegas night, and it felt as though the guests were walking into Caesar’s Palace itself. Streamers made out of playing cards were strung up along the venue, while bouquets of huge feathers sat atop tall candlesticks and vases. The main event table had a glossy black sheen with a shiny backdrop complete with hundreds of miniature images of casino game cards. The incredible birthday cake, however, was the highlight of the table, stacked up into three elaborate tiers complete with a big, white sugar fondant of “40”. The bottom two tiers were decorated in red and black shapes of cards like diamonds, and the top layer was extremely detailed, made up of two large red and white dice. A topper consisted of an edible replica of the “Welcome to Vegas” sign, but instead read the words “Welcome to Fabulous Beau’s 40th Birthday”.

Other treats that were equally as detailed and beautiful on the main table were red dice Jell-O molds pops, red and white Marshmallow pops topped with sprinkles, Dipped Oreos, and frosted sugar cookies in play card and chip designs. Savory fares included grilled chicken and caprese shish kabobs and all of the delicious food had its own personalized label made from a playing cards. Favors were an assortment of fun as well, with the guests taking home bar nuts in personalized party cans and decks of personalized casino cards. It truly was the perfect way to start a fantastic fortieth year.
