all photos and styling by meYesterday we celebrated my daughters 4th birthday with a little party at home. I decided to make the theme white. Lanterns from Ebay. White Birds, ribbons and flowers from Factory Direct Craft. Mini glass jars from Ikea. Vintage china plates, tablecloth & shells my own. Here are some photo's before all the kids turned up and turned my "white" party into a chocolate, wet, tomato sauce and spilt soft drink party! What was I thinking?
It all looks so beautiful Simone. Gorgeous party for Charli.
ReplyDeleteSo dreamy looking!! Thank heavens for bleach and napisan. Love the litle labels on the goodies, cheers Katherine
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!!!! Well done!! White doesn't do well in my house... my dogs will ruin anything white!! LOL
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely!! I'm sure the 'after' pics would be very different!!
ReplyDeleteSimone,
ReplyDeleteYou're a good mom. Just darling decorations. I bet your daughter loved the party.
Marjorie
P.S. I loved the pics and story of your home in Houz. (sp.?)

ReplyDeletewhat a stunning setting and a lovely idea is that a whole bowl of milk bottles I spy......yummo

ReplyDeleteHow sweet Simone
ReplyDeleteAnd how funny your comment of the 'after' view. I love your Lanterns with the birdies!! So sweet! Have a great week x Julie
It looks just beautiful Simone. I love having a colour theme to work with for a party I once did a pink party for my girl, I had so much fun collecting things for it. I hope that the birthday girl had lots of fun!:)
ReplyDeleteHow glamorous! Gorgeous idea xx
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh dear! I think you were asking for trouble with the white! It attracts stains like nobody's business! Still, it looks wonderfully serene and beautiful before the hords descended! I love how much effort and thought you put into this! xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful classy party for a 4-year old. I'd be delighted to be invited to one of those myself (and I wouldn't make a mess).
ReplyDeleteaaaw that is so cute!! such an adorable party for a little girl! sucks about the mess though, kids are so thoughtless!

ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful, such a unique idea, a very Happy Birthday to the lucky girl :)
ReplyDeletePuuurrrfeccct in every way! Jennifer
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous! I'm glad you were able to take some photos before the whirlwind of children entered the scene.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect party for your daughter - don't you love that she will look back and say, my mom create magic on my birthday. I bet you do that all year though. My girls party is in two weeks - she'll be two. I'll have to get my mind spinning with ideas!! Your post has started some ideas..
ReplyDeleteOMG
ReplyDeleteIt's all so beautiful.
i adore this coastal atmosphere! what an adorable party you did!
ReplyDeletewish you a great week!

first time here in your blog. a white theme for a kids' party is unusual, for kids will just mess everything up, but i must say your decorations are really amazing. i love white, and i love all things vintage :)
ReplyDeleteIt certainly looked gorgeous before the spills came, Simone! You have such a gift for making things gorgeous! xo
ReplyDeleteShe must have felt like a little princess!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful...Happy Birthday Miss 4
ReplyDeleteSUch a pretty white treat party!
ReplyDeleteI was just imagining what a mess my son and his friends would make of an all white party. It looked lovely Simone, I hope you all had a great day xxx
ReplyDeleteOh how gorgeous it all looks.
ReplyDeleteAlison

What a great idea.... I could see how it went wrong but I wouldn't have thought of that until afterwards either! Loved the theme though!
ReplyDeletex
