Elegant, Royal First Birthday Party

 

Royal-First-Birthday-Table-Buffet-2

This lovely and inspiring Elegant, Royal First Birthday Party was the perfect combination of fun and decor, giving a whole family and friend group a memory that would last. Styled by Suemee Hur of Created by Hur and photographed beautifully by Carmen Santorelli Photography no detail was left undone at this gathering.

The venue chosen for this Elegant, Royal First Birthday Party was spectacular, a large, spacious room with fantastic wooden detailing on the ceiling. Hanging from this ceiling an abundant display of chandeliers set the stage for a room of pure decadence. The guest tables were circular and arranged in rows to make it easy for everyone to move around the room as needed.  Each table had a gorgeous pastel cover that draped to the floor with lots of cute white chairs to sit on. The centerpieces were adorable arrangements of mini-flowers with the addition of sparkly silver stars and labels that matched numbering each one.

A small table was set up as decor that was covered in a matching cloth with an elegant sign framed in silver saying, “Amelia’s Royal Sweets.” To draw attention to this section a massive bouquet of colorful flowers was displayed as well as an adorable little wired coach. A matching table was set on the other side of the buffet, ensuring that the food area was a massive display of beauty.

The buffet table used was a rectangle and covered in a wonderful shiny cloth. These tables were actually set in front all sorts of large windows, bringing in the natural lighting and adding to the elegant style.  As a backdrop the birthday girl’s name was spelled out on a flag banner.  From the perfectly frosted cookies to the scrumptious cupcakes, there were enough tasty delights to impress the entire crowd. The cake was an impressive finishing touch to the table with sparkles and ribbons that stood out fantastically.

London Birthday Party

This Royal London 1st Birthday party created by Tina Montemayor of Do Elegant Yourself was an elegant and sophisticated filled with fantastic decor. Expanding from the basic colors of the British flag, red white and blue, she also blended hot pink and gold into the decor to add a bold touch to each detail.

From the very entrance, this venue was ready to take all the guests to London in royal fashion.  The front door was diy’d to look just like a classic telephone booth, transporting everyone to a fun filled adventure.

A crafting station was set up so little ones could create their own special crowns to wear for the party, providing a take-home gift to remember.

The snack table was quite fantastic, laid out so little ones would have easy access to the delicious treats. It was placed in front of a window, letting the sunlight provide some natural lighting.  

The table was covered with a white cloth, ensuring that all of the vibrant colors of the foods and decor would stand out brilliantly.  One fantastic idea utilized was a tower made out of donuts, it stood tall and looked absolutely yummy.  Flowers were arranged in adorable bouquets, one of red, pink and cream tones and the other with blues and greens.  Mini glasses were filled with layered jello, giving a royal way to enjoy this sweet. Both the birthday cake and the smash cake were exquisitely made with rippled details.  The smash cake had a touch of pink that made it unique, along with a golden “1” on top.  The other cake was two layers in white finished with a crown on top. Other fun snacks included sugar cookies with British flags frosted on and red velvet cupcakes with royal toppers for added effect.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s Birthday Party

Breakfast at Tiffany's Birthday Party

With a mom that adores Breakfast at Tiffany’s, it only stands to reason that her little ones first birthday party should reflect the elegance and sophistication of that iconic movie.  With help from the fantastic Cyntia of Party to be Festas, the party was certain to be a success.

From top to bottom this perfect venue was wonderfully decorated to create a stunning visual effect.  The room used for the party was actually open to the outdoors, allowing natural lighting to brighten the room substantially.

The dessert table was absolutely surreal with wonderful details that were sure to be noticed by all.  The table used had two fantastic ornate legs that gave an elegant appearance.  The table was white and wrapped in a soft teal ribbon, really embracing the Tiffany theme perfectly.  On each side of this table towers of gift boxes introduced the party theme with flair.  Three shrubs in pails stood in front, filling the area with a lovely natural touch. For a creative and wonderful addition, white lamp posts were even used to enhance the look of the table.

As a backdrop, french doors were used to accent the table with sheer curtains and adorable teal ribbons.  The window was framed with cute heart cut-outs.

Treats were innovatively created with frosting and decor that matched the theme very nicely.  Cupcakes were perfectly frosted in teal with cute little pearl like drops on them.  Each was placed in a cup, making it easy for guests to take without making a mess. Other treats included little donuts and chocolates, so everyone would be able to find a tasty option to hit that sweet spot.

The cake made for the party was fantastic, two layers of pure decadence frosted to look like it came straight out of the Tiffany movie. It was even set on a teal cake tray for a gorgeous effect.

Ariana in Onederland First Birthday Party

Bringing an adorable twist to a sweet classic, Party Pieces by Perry helped to create this fantastic Ariana in Onederland First Birthday Party. From top to bottom, the venue for this gathering was a blend of imagination and creativity that anyone could fall in love with.  

Giving a bigger is better arrangement to the dessert table, instead of one, two were used to display that range of treats and decor.  As a backdrop a mix of giant flowers was hung in varying tones to bring color and fun to the look.

As with any good Alice in Wonderland themed party, the table had a fun lineup of unique chairs that added to the vintage feel of the event adding a dramatic touch to the treat tables.

The tables used were classic wooden styled which blended with the theme perfectly. Cute touches added included teaware like a teapot with cute little flowers filling it, a vintage clock, vintage phone and even an Alice doll, all of which ensured that the visitors would know the theme.

Treats made for this part were absolutely wonderful.  Little cupcakes frosted in white with little pearls on top looked quite yummy. Cookies on a wonderful white tray called out. There were even sugar cookies frosted with cute messages like “eat me” on them.

Two cakes stole the show with perfection, the biggest was front and center, placed on a wonderful stump looking cake tray. Each was detailed to look like they had a lock on it and made a stunning addition to the party.

Other fun bits added to the decor at this party included a backdrop that looked like a shrub that set the stage for all sorts of Alice characters like the mad hatter who was sitting on a toadstool.

Under the Sea First Birthday Party

Sweet Event Styling by Thanh brought the wonder of sea life to the surface with this marvelous Under the Sea First Birthday Adventure! A vast array of details were put together to give an aquatic effect to the treat table that was nothing short of amazing.

A backdrop was made with the underwater theme in fantastic aqua colors and artwork that really made it a centerpiece to the entire table.

Under the Sea First Birthday Party dessert table decorations and treats

Instead of using a standard cover for the table, Sweet Event Styling by Thanh took advantage of the sandy marbleized look and built an ocean on top so it looked like the bottom of the sea.

The use of flowers to give a natural aqua effect was pure brilliance.  Filling in all of the spaces with gorgeous arrangements of different types produced an abundant beauty that stood out perfectly.  Macaroons were made in green and pink, left open partway to look like clams and then they were piled on a tiered tray topped with a wonderful mermaid tail, ensuring that this treat doubled as a fantastic decoration.

The cake made for the party was phenomenal with two layers, the bottom one scalloped in fondant with varying tones to make it look just like a mermaid tail and the top had an adorable little bow.  It was set on a cake tray with brown sugar and candy shells making it look like a beach.  With Ariel and Prince Eric perched precisely in front of the cake, this treat was definitely a show-stopper.
