{REAL PARTY} Ava's Strawberry Lemonade Party

I received a sweet strawberry lemonade party in my inbox by the gorgeous Kristina from Modern Frills. I have been an avid fan of Kristina's blog for quite a while now, and I am excited to share the gorgeous party she styled for her daughter Ava. I adore the cake stands, crate & bunting, there are so many adorable elements that come together beautifully. Well done Kristina! x

"Strawberry Lemonade is a favorite of the birthday girl so it was an easy choice for the party theme. Stefanie of Anne and Blue Paperie took my ideas and created a perfect vintage inspired birthday invitation along with party printables to coordinate with the theme.

Once the invitations were in the mail, I began the dessert table preparations. I started by looking for a white tablecloth that had a vintage feel. I was unable to find exactly what I was looking for so I purchased a simple white tablecloth from Target. I went with a size larger than I actually needed. After cutting the tablecloth down to the correct size and hemming the edge, I used the extra fabric to add a simple ruffle around the edges.

The backdrop of the dessert table was made using the "Happy Birthday" banner by Anna and Blue Paperie. I also made a few fabric flowers from vintage inspired kitchen towels and some remnant fabric using fabric stiffener (purchased at a local craft store) and a tutorial from Jones Design Company

The rest of the dessert table came together with cupcakes, fresh strawberries and some amazing cookies by Callye of The Adventures of Sweet Sugarbelle. The birthday girl and her friends sipped lemonade and danced in tutus with her dance teacher. It was a perfect day!"

Roll Up, Roll Up

dessert table styled by Mon Tresor

This afternoon I had the pleasure of styling a candy sweets table for an adorable little boy's Christening held at the beautiful Italian restaurant Grappa in the heart of Leichardt. The theme for the Christening was Circus and the colours chosen for Emilio's candy bar were red, blue & white.

With approximately forty children attending, I envisaged the table would have lots and lots of jars filled with coloured candy. I laid a red and white stripe tablecloth and gathered it at the front to resemble a circus curtain. It was topped off with a double bow on either end {making all kinds of bows is another one of my creative outlets}

A customised ''E'' sat on the centre of the table within a vintage style red frame, and I also created the printable sweets labels, banner & chocolate wrappers. I know there will be some very happy faces at the end of the evening when they fill their white noodle favour boxes to take home, full of delicious candy.

the circus is in town!
