Flowers and Puppets

First birthdays are always special. They celebrate the first year of discoveries, challenges and blessings of having a lovely child at home. Baby Rose’s first birthday could not be different. Their parents decided to celebrate Roses’ first birthday in one of her favorite places: the Children’s Discovery Museum. Because the birthday room has a loud decoration, they wanted something very simple but elegant that could reflect Roses’ personality. To reconcile all the animals painted in the walls and the parents’ wishes, we decided to go with a theme that includes flowers and the little puppets that little Rose loves so much. The colors that were chosen for this celebration were bright white and light yellow. The chevron design creates a link between disposable items and little puppets. The children’s table had decorated food containers, juice’s jars and a special menu for the little ones.

Puppets and flowers were also present in the invitation – a handmade invitation that was delivered at each guests’ front door with a little puppet hanging in a small bag.  Handmade cookies with little yellow roses bring the tenderness to the dessert table. Lemon cupcakes decorated with roses are around the dessert table. Little lions – one of the favorite little girl puppets – were present as white chocolates. As party favors, each guest received a clear box with animal lemon cookies such as giraffes, lions and elephants.

Fashion Birthday Party

Being a mother is such a blessing! You have an opportunity to be a child again and play all those games as you did when you were little. However, with so many tasks and new responsibilities, sometimes we forget about ourselves and our fancy clothes, shoes, bags …right? Not at all. 
Inspired on “Catch my Party” happy hour’s theme, we created this dress-up party for a mother who believe that wearing her high heels shoes more often could keep her femininity and tenderness always on. 
The concept was to put together a party with fashion elements and children’s activities. In order to do so, we created a visual identity that was reflected not only in the desserts and food served during the event but also in the items created for kids and party decoration. All elements in this party were dressed-up! 
The cake, shaped as a Louis Vuitton bag, was handed sculpted and had chocolate truffle filling. Next to this stunning cake, we had a Chanel sugar shoes, real size, 100% edible and based on the shoes that the hostess like the most - a peep toe shoes. 
Chocolate truffles were confectioned specially for this party in formats of a nail polish and a Chanel fragrance. Pretend make-ups were actually honey cakes with an amazing caramel filling. 
Brazilian “brigadeiros” with golden sprinkles recalled the guests that this was a fashion party and “everybody” should be dressed accordingly. Sandwiches and potato chips were also dressed-up in golden and black bags. Next to them, carrot sandwiches rolls were “wearing” their golden high heels. 
To reconcile kids and adults drinks and refreshments, we put together a Mimosa bar. This was a way for children to take advantage of the Orange and Grape juices that were served in beautiful Mason Jars, and adults could have their Prosseco topped with blueberry, strawberry or blackberry fruits. 
A big children’s table was also decorated with food boxes and golden & black balloons. Children had their names written in golden in a fancy black & white tag, put in a small juice container with a sunglass cookie. Each little guest received a craft bag with many activities to be done during the party. In addition, a face painting artist was invited to entertain the little ones with charm and style.

Baby Boy First Birthday

I really love the teddy bear theme for boys and girls. It is classic and lovely. In this party, sugar and chocolate teddy bears made children and adults go Up Up and Away with their hot air balloons and airplanes. Suitcases Strawberry truffles, cloud macarons and a gorgeous almond cake, brought a special atmosphere to this magical day when this handsome boy turned one!

Twins Baptism

Celebrating a baptism is always something special . Imagine when the family is double blessed. To celebrate this baptism, we decided to go with a Chocommelier - Wine and Chocolate tasting- once wine is the dad's and the godfather's passion. To honor the maternal grandmother, modeled truffles with  "Nossa Senhora da Aparecida",  and "Santo Antonio" were given for the guests as giveaways.  Guests could also try tasty finger foods and a delicious and gorgeous cake.

Sewing is her passion. For this lady's birthday party, all the details bring those memory back.  Sugar scissors, buttons and sugar cookies are all dressed up for this special occasion. A delicate Musical Sewing Machine was just a dream in the dessert table.
