Gorgeous table setting







The party table was set up with a table runner of wheat grass grown in vases, decorated in pink with ribbon and little ladybugs climbing through the grass.

All around the party we had ladybug, bee and flower spinners and pink Pom poms above.

We set up the food table with beautiful cake stands, vases of wheat grass with ladybugs and flowers.











The cake was a cute red ladybug with cut out spots using licorice and piped icing for grass.

Seating area for guests
We made little 'money bags' out of calico, check print fabric and rope ties, these could easily be filled with lots of goodies to take home, however we did not need thank you gifts for this party.

Getting into the spirit
















There was a bar set up with signs all around including wanted posters of the party girl, as well as boot glasses filled with peanuts in the shells, horse shoes and rubber snakes.

We hung handmade bunting from the marquee and directional signage all around in theme.

Throughout the night we took a wanted poster prop around taking pictures of all the guests for the party girl to keep as a memento of the special night!

Nursery Rhymes Party

This adorable party was for Aiden's 2nd Birthday, it was a Nursery Rhymes theme using pink and blue as the colour inspiration. The party was at the Animal Barn Farm down in the southern suburbs and the people at the Animal Barn were fantastic to keep so many children occupied for the party through rain and shine until cake time!

Handmade frames
The party table was set up with beautiful framed pictures of "what are little girls/boys made of" with a handmade gift bag in either pink or blue containing some fantastic take home goodies including a nursery rhymes cd which was designed especially for this party.
