{party feature} a strawberry lemonade birthday party
Strawberry Lemonade is the preferred beverage of my birthday girl who turned 5 earlier this month. She will drink anything sweet, but her true love is lemonade…pink strawberry lemonade.
I sent my idea to Stefanie of Anna and Blue Paperie. She took my party idea and created an adorable invitation to along with it…
Once the invitations were in the mail, I began the dessert table preparations. I started by making a white ruffled tablecloth (DIY tutorial coming soon). The background 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.
…did I mention that the cookies were AMAZING…
…a little red and aqua mini bunting…
Loved using little bits of twine throughout the party…
Ava wore this sweet Strawberry tank top (available in my shop) and a precious rosette clip from Sweethart’s. I should mention that Ava wants to wear this rosette clip every day. It has to be the cutest hair clip ever!!!
Ava Kate definitely soaked up all of the birthday attention. It was fun to watch her as everyone sang Happy Birthday…
This is a very happy birthday girl…
The birthday girl and her friends sipped lemonade and danced in tutus with her dance teacher. It was a perfect day!
A huge THANK YOU to all of the vendors and friends who helped with the party…
