Party Favours....something sweet

Kids Party favours are becoming more and more creative these days....and the race is on to find the most unique and the cutest design for that special little soiree.....we have put together a few of our creations to inspire you for your child's next birthday party.....these are cute and inexpensive ways to please little guests and decorate your child's birthday table or candy buffet:

Here is an inexpensive yet cute little party favour for you to consider...clear little acetate boxes filled with lollies to match the theme and colour for your child's birthday party. This one we created for a little boys blue polka dot party.

If you are not much of a baker (like me) and can't go past these adorable cupcake wrappers from the cupcake wrapper co. then why not fill them up with lollies and decorate with a custom designed cupcake topper (you can find these at our online shoppe www.candysoirees.com.au ). Here we have filled this polka dot design with yummy milk bottles......an all time favourite lolly.

These clever cupcake wrappers are also available from our online shoppe in a range of colours and patterns.

Noodle boxes are always a great idea and inexpensive way of creating a fun party favour. Here we used a White noodle box with an acetate window....These were created for a little boys 1st birthday and all the babies were given these decorated with traditional gingham ribbon and filled with a cute rubber bath time toy and a selection of baby snacks rather than lollies  ......The mums loved them and so did the babies :)

soccer fever is here....the world cup has encouraged many little boys to take up soccer and so the soccer parties have become popular again......If you like the traditional lolly bag, why not consider a fabric lolly bag, make your own or take a peek at our gingham lolly bags that are available on our online shoppe Here we have used our soccer cupcake toppers to decorate the lolly bags and add to the soccer party theme of this birthday.

Lolly bags and party favours are so much fun to make, so we hope that these ideas have helped you, but we also understand that some mums and dads are just too busy with all the details of a child's birthday soiree...so feel free to contact us at candy soirees and we will be happy to help you with the petite details of your child's next soiree.

Happy soirees xx

Giggleberry Bunting Flags.....made with LOVE !

Candy soirees just loves finding new product for the party world.....so we were so excited when we found the ever so popular Giggleberry bunting flags. These are so adorable that we just had to share them with you....Bunting flags are great for decorating babies nurseries, kids rooms and play rooms but we also love them because they are perfect for decorating kids parties and other special soirees.....Giggleberry bunting flags are made from the very talented Amy and we asked her to put together a little something about herself and her wonderful creations.......hope you are inspired as much as we are......


 "My name is Amy & I am a WAHM of three very busy bees, wife to one rather fabulous hubby & the driving force behind Giggleberry Creations - handmade fabric bunting banners with a giggle.


Giggleberry Creations came about during my 'nesting' stage of pregnancy with my daughter. I wanted something different and unique to decorate her room and after my mother made her 'grandchild to be' a quilt I asked for the left over fabrics and created my first ever bunting banner. As the story goes - I had friends and family see the banner and before I knew it I was taking orders for bunting in all kinds of colours, patterns and themes!

Giggleberry's fabric bunting banners add character to any space. Lovingly handmade with care, each flag is double sided so can be hung across a room without hems or 'wrong side' of fabric showing. Every banner is professionally finished with a fabric tag and heat sealed grosgrain ribbon. The best thing about bunting is that they are limited to only your imagination - there are so many gorgeous fabrics around that I can't help but continue to take over more and more cupboards stack full of fabrics that will be just gorgeous in a banner!

Giggleberry banners have been made for bedrooms, cubby houses, parties, play rooms, weddings, nurseries, market stalls, shop fronts, holidays, even caravans to happy customers all over the world! "

Candy soirees will be using these beautiful creations when decorating and styling children's soirees.....we just love them and thanks Amy for sharing these lovely photos with us. xx

You can find a selection of Giggleberry flags on our online shoppe....collections by candy soirees at www.candysoirees.com.au

Audrey Hepburn.......Wedding Inspiration.

My all time favourite icon is Audrey Hepburn, I draw to her movies and fashion style for inspiration in many areas of the Event styling world.....so I just had to put this inspiration board together for the Glamorous and elegant brides to be.......

Audrey Hepburn was about decadence, class and a timeless image that we can never tire off. Her style was simple and yet she successfully turned this simplicity into a unique Hollywood Glamour.

Black and white is a very popular wedding theme and you might say that it has been done however, when you add hints of diamonds, crystals and pearls to this with accents of venetian or maybe Parisian styling....you will find that you have reinvented a popular colour scheme to something new, eye catching and 'AUDREY' like......
Enjoy and come soiree with us.......

A vintage lace and pearl wedding soiree......

Candy Soirees is currently working on some wedding projects (and some secret projects....to be revealed soon)....therefore we are on the look out for beautiful and inspiring weddings. We recently came across this amazing soiree from the gorgeous and talented Elissa Gia. Elissa is the founder and director of

Ellie make up and is about to launch her own exclusive make up range. Candy soirees is pleased to be one of the official sponsors for this fabulous event.... Ellie make up is Melbourne's most exclusive make up company and preferred make up specialist for many agencies, they are all about exceptional creative flair and perfection so it would be fair to say that Elissa's wedding was all these things and a reflection of her style and glamour. More is more and in this case it works.......

Elissa's dress was designed and made by Annette of Melbourne.....a full "Gone with the wind' number ..... she depicted a modern day Scarlett O'Hara..... beautiful and romantic.

Elissa and Greg celebrated their special day at the Atlantic South Wharf in Melbourne....a stunning venue overlooking the water.....The day was carefully planned with every attention to detail. The colour scheme was set for ivory, vintage peach and chocolate with highlights of lace, pearls and tulle throughout. Magical and enchanting.

The theme carried through from the vintage peach lace invites that Elissa designed  herself and had printed by papermarc in Hawthorn......

The venue boasted romance with vintage candlelight decor, tall candelabras on each table entwined with ivory tulle and tied in a large feminine bow, each candelabra featured ivory and champagne blossom flowers attached to every arm .....The tables were presented in a breathtaking regal manner.....from fine silver cutlery, clusters of small glass candle votives to beautifully presented menus matching the invitations........stunning!

Elissa and Greg invited their closest family and friends to share this magical day with them and as a token of their appreciation they presented each guest with these stylish wedding favours, The ladies received ivory tulle pouches filled with tradition sugar almonds tied with cord and for the men, simplistic white noodle boxes wrapped in vintage lace....showing Elissa's true sense of romantic style.

The flowers were a careful selection of champagne and peach roses and were also featured on the stunning wedding cake....a 3 tier lace and pearl design that was truly a centrepiece in itself. The little bride and groom figurine at the base was from Elissa's parents wedding cake on their special....love the personal and sentimental touch.

Thanks Elissa for allowing us to share your beautiful photos on our blog..... What an enchanting wedding soiree.
