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.

This Disco Birthday Party extravaganza offered an exciting way to celebrate another year of fun. With a multitude of neon colors, every detail shouted for attention.

Sandra Salas of Dimequesi went all out on this party really promoting energy and love through each decoration and snack provided.

A bold table setup was created with such a spread of neon disco fun that the guests were sure to enjoy every bit. An abundance of silly string in aerosol cans was set up as a fantastic centerpiece on the table, acting as a preview to the activities that would be going on during the party. Each item was layered to make it easy to grab, so everyone could take what they needed.

Adorable disco balls were made from a variety of neon colors that had little record clip art and cute little tassels on the ends that gave them an extra bit of fun. Hung above the table, they added just the right amount of energetic atmosphere to the room.

The assortment of snacks and entertainment spread on the table left something for everyone to enjoy. There were tasty candy necklaces that had little neon ribbons on top.

Custom gifts were made for each guest to take home at the end of the celebration.  CD with music from the party were also given, offering a unique way to remember the fun day.

Giant lolli-pop shape gum was set in an adorable holder and decorated with pictures of records as well, emphasizing the theme spectacularly. There were even delicious looking cookies decorated as records in fantastic detail, set on a lovely white tray for the visitors to munch.

With the spread of vibrant colors on the table, it made sense to have a white base, creating a soft palette for every bit of decoration and treat to stand out boldly.

Lima Limao created an elegant and glamorous way to celebrate at this Frozen Birthday Party.  The blue and white blend of colors allowed a wintry atmosphere that any Elsa fan could be excited about.

The snack table was a vision of Disney magnetism, covered top to bottom in elements that brought the entire theme into a delicious array of detailing. The backdrop used was a sweet white translucent fabric that covered adorable snowflake lights for a soft lighting.  Directly in front of the fabric a spread of lovely snowflakes hung, each unique and shimmering in white and gray.

A replica of Elsa’s gorgeous castle was created, offering a detailed decoration that emphasized the theme spectacularly. In front, Elsa, Anna, Sven and Christoff were displayed in all their Disney fun.  In the other corner not to be ignored, was Olaf, acting as a beverage server standing behind a lovely tray of bottles with blue and white straws that were decorated with wonderful blue sequins and snowflakes.

In between all of the yummy treats and entertaining decorations, sweet white flowers brought in a natural touch that filled the table with beauty. Each flower arrangement was placed in a unique holder, offering all kinds of different looks that blended beautifully.

The treats blended with the theme wonderfully as well.  Blue macaroons with bright raspberries stood out on a pretty silver tray.  Cake pops covered in light blue were decorated with cute little snowflakes, and towering cookie sandwiches added glittery shine to the table. There were even adorable little Olaf treats with him floating, looking quite delicious.

Set up to steal the show on a large tray, the cake was immaculate in detailing, offering a tasty and fantastic centerpiece to the table. Three decadent layers of beauty covered in blue and white, trees and snowflakes exuded the theme with a presence that couldn’t be over-emphasized.

Celebrating a 2nd birthday party is a fun and cheerful occasion, and event stylist Miss Deliciouza put on a momentous one for little Tarjan with a fantastical theme of Dino/Jungle. No details were spared in this party fit for a little dinosaur fan and the venue truly looked as though you stepped into prehistoric times. Decorations were bright and creative, with splashes of oranges and greens, and accessories of dinosaurs, fossils, and monkeys. Even plants with thick leaves that you’d find in the jungle were placed around as awesome accents. Food tables were draped in safari-khaki colored tablecloths and the food was a feast for not only the tummy, but also for the eye.

The cake was round, one-tiered, and covered in incredible sugar fondant detail. Images of trees were molded around the base of the cake, while replicas of monkeys, and dinosaurs were molded on the top, sides, and all around it. A back drop and a framed sign were behind and in front of the amazing cake with the birthday boy’s name in big, wooden block letters. Huge glass apothecary jars were filled with chocolates and candies, while cocoa cake pops with green leaf bows were aplenty on shiny black serving platters. Orange and green frosted cupcakes sat on round wood pieces of tree and humongous candy bars wrapped in personalized dino party themed paper made for perfect favors. The presentation of these favors made them even more memorable, as the candy bars were placed on black plates with rock pebbles surrounding them for ultimate jungle effect. Clear plastic cups full of a gelatin dessert were labeled “Jelly Shots” and there were even plastic dinosaur eggs split open and spilling out more delicious candies.

This party was full of innovative ideas that transformed an otherwise routine birthday party into something unforgettable. With great attention to details, this event virtually came to life as a world filled with prehistoric fantasy and fun.

Event stylist Samantha Dunne of Dunne with Style put together an incredible birthday party that showcased a fun circus theme complete with a brilliant array of bright colors and inglorious décor. The theme of Peach Mint Circus truly embodied the charisma of a birthday and the circus all in one, while highlighting joyful nostalgia.

The main event theme colors of peach and mint offered a crisp feel to the party, while individual flowers made of puffed peach and mint tulle added a whimsical touch as they were placed all over the venue. The main event table that housed the birthday cake and all the most fabulous sweets was absolutely gorgeous with a wondrous backdrop of oversized white paper pinwheels, and an elaborate circus sign welcoming guests to join in on enjoying the circus theme. The birthday cake itself was breathtaking, with two large tiers served on a mint ceramic cake platter. The top tier was all-white, with a topper of a bunched assortment of the mint tulle flowers and a golden elephant figurine. The bottom tier of the cake was really something special, with an ombre design of dark peach fading up into light peach.

Surrounding the cake were magnificently detailed treats, including a miniature mint colored cake with more gold elephant figurines on top, and delightful peach-colored cupcakes presented on handcrafted peach paper pinwheels. A distressed wood mail holder added the perfect chic accent to hold sugar cookies, and peach and mint candies, along with glass milk jars with miniature windmill straws. An apothecary jar full of mint-hued cotton candy and striped boxes full of warm popcorn were clever circus-motif additions, while jars filled with large mustache cake pops brought a timeless look to the table.

The party was tied together splendidly with peach and mint shaded circus flag banners, tassel garland, and a whole shelving bureau opened and full of lines of glass jars full of bright candy.

From Samantha :

For Eloise’s 2nd birthday we wanted to take a fresh twist on a classic favourite so put a whimsical and pretty twist on the circus classic, because lets face it, when you have a 2 year old life is a bit like a circus.

Li-Ann from Ham & Pea Paperie took vintage circus animals and ‘prettied’ them up with the addition of frills and ruffles, we replaced the classic blue and red with the more feminine mint and peach and the tone was set.

Guests were greeted at the tickets booth adorned with vintage carnival tickets, ribbon wands and handmade pinwheels.

The dessert table had a carnival atmosphere with sweet treats including a pair of ombre ruffled cakes, cupcakes topped with mini macarons and cotton candy, chocolate coated oreos adorned with pinwheels. Custom designed sugar cookies to match the vintage circus animals from the backdrop and for the little gents, moustache cookies.

Guests filled up circus tent favour boxes with treats from the candy stand and went home laden with pinwheels, ribbon wands and hand painted gold circus animal figurines – over indulged just like a day at the carnival.
