Cirque Spectaculaires....Real Parties

One of our lovely fans from our face book page , sent us these stunning photos of her son's circus party that she recently styled.....and let me warn you, you will be wowed. Katie is the creative owner of The Ivory Social  Bespoke events and party wares.....and given that I am in the middle of planning my sons carnival birthday party, I have to say I was very impressed with all the effort and detail that went into this little soiree. Very Inspiring indeed.

Katie put everything together herself from the gorgeous candy tags to the clever tissue pom pom that was centred in the middle of the room (on the ceiling) with twisted crepe paper draped from the cute pom pom to make a tent effect...clever.

My favourite off course are the chocolate bar wrappers that Katie made herself aren't they just spectaculaire....love..love!....Oh and the cake ..... the printed cookies....the popcorn cones with the silhouette circus tags....the selection of colourful candy....oh and the list just goes on....





















YUMMMMMMM.....love those colours.

And off course we all love those retro straws. Perfect for a circus party.


I particularly like Katie's idea of an adult table, decorated with white Gyp in cylinder vases and a delicious display of treats for mums and dads.....nice to think about the parents too...

I hope you enjoyed our real party feature and thank you to Katie for allowing us to feature her circus soiree.
Be sure to visit Katie's Blog for more inspiration.

Romantic WHITE......

One of my favourite photos in my mums house is the wedding portrait of her and my beautiful (late) dad.....Dad all class in a tux with black bow tie....and such a handsome man he was.....and my petite mum in her all white French lace gown....accompanied by a simple white bouquet of roses and standing by her side, her bridesmaids and flower girls dressed in all white. To this day I look at that photo and think about the simplicity of weddings in those days and the pure romance of white. So we are going back in time and re introducing the 'Romance of White'



{this post is dedicated to the man who taught us (my sister and I) elegance and class.....thank you dad xx}

Colour inspiration for the festive season.

We are now thinking Christmas ...I know Christmas, can you believe it. So the research has begun. We get inspiration from so many different places and from previous projects. We are currently working on christening centrepieces using buttercup yellow and duck egg blue.....so this got us thinking about how we would be able to combine these colours into a Christmas colour palette.....We are loving Buttercup Yellow, Pale Blue and off course Festive Red, teamed with old fashion craft paper and paper doily details.

Eye candy:


Pretty packaging:














(all images above have been taken from google search, if any of these images are yours please feel free to contact us and we will credit you)

Inspiring and pretty things from one of our favourite designers/stockists My Little Jedi


















These pretty packages above can be recreated by visiting My little Jedi and purchasing these beautiful paper doilies, Divine twine in a range of yummy colours and wait until you see their new range in wrapping paper and gift cards.....you must pop in and have a look around xx

We just love brown paper packaging dressed with beautiful ribbon and paper doilies.....It is the simple things that are often the most stunning.

A ladybird garden party....

I am inspired by so many wonderful designers in particular our Australian talent......and I am always in awe with the amazing and talented Suzi for Alannah Rose Exclusive Invitations, Not only does she have a beautiful Invitation range that I consider as one of the leaders in the wedding Industry and party world but she always manages to put together the most breathtaking little parties for her daughters. I love looking at her work.....I can honestly say she is the Amy Atlas of Petite Femme Soirees.

So having said all this I was thrilled when Suzi gave us permission to feature her daughters ladybird garden party....warning you will be inspired :)




































Off course the theme was inspired by these stunning Alannah Rose Ladybird Invites....aren't they divine?
My favourite is the candy/dessert buffet, not only is it perfectly styled but the details are fabulous....don't you just love that grass....???






































The potted cookie wands, the tags and labels the little ladybirds resting on leaves....all too beautiful. Love the detail.

For more details and inspiration on this beautiful little soiree visit here and enjoy as you will definitely be inspired.

Thanks Suzi for allowing us to share your lovely daughters little soiree xx

The new arrival of Yellow and Grey.....

Recently the lovely Vesna from My Little Jedi posted an amazing inspiration board about a new trend alert, Yellow and Grey. It was so beautifully put together that it Inspired me to design an invite with this stunning combination (thank you My Little Jedi), Originally my invite started as an engagement announcement card.....but then it was suggested to me that this would make an ideal Baby shower invite.....and so the invite was born........


Introducing our Vintage Bike Baby Shower Invitation

We will also be adding to the range the following 2 designs:



'A day at the Park' Baby Shower Invitation



'A Country Gate' Baby Shower Invitation

These cards will be available as shown here with a blank backing for a do it yourself shower invite, simply print on the card or attach a printed paper with invite details to the back and send to all the guests for the ultimate baby shower soiree.

This lovely range will be available to candy soirees mid October.
We hope you enjoyed our little range preview and thanks again to My Little Jedi for the inspiration.....make sure you visit their Blog for more gorgeousness and lovely product that they have on offer.
