Hello Kitty by Hello Bella!

Hello all! I'm sorry for my short time away from the blog....but I have some back inspired! While catching up on my regularly scheduled blog readings I have stumbled upon a number of fabulously adorable parties and I would love ot share them with you! This is the first of MANY events I want you to see from the Hello Bella Events blog!

When Jen (the principle planner of Hello Bella Events ) was asked to design a pink and brown Hello Kitty Baby Shower she was thrilled! With so many different sides of Hello Kitty these days, she could have gone in a lot a different directions, but she decided instead to take an entirely different approach. She designed adorable labels (inspired by the Hello Kitty Sweets Shop in Japan) in order to streamline the event a bit.

And the result?......pink and brown LOVELY!

2 Lovely baby Showers

I came across these two absolutely lovely baby showers while reading A Beautiful Mess. They were hosted by Elsie the author of the blog. I couldn't help but share these adorable celebrations with you! Take a look, I hope oyu love the details as much as I did!

Here goes shower number 1!

I love these handmade invitations so much!

Tons of craft supplies were laid out along with plain white onesies, and guests were invited to create a wardrobe for baby Ruby.

And here's the second one!

Cute cupcakes with fun handmade toppers!

This party area is beyond lovely!

Marie Antoinette Party!

I recently went to/ helped organize a Marie Antoinette party fro my friend Andrea. We were inspired mostly by the Sophia Copola movie, which is a feist for the eyes, full of color and fancy.

Here are some photos from the evening. Enjoy!

Here's the lovely birthday girl Andrea!

We set up an area for people guests to adorn themselves for the party.

A very important element for an event like this...the food!

It was an amazing evening!

Citrus Party!

Summer is a time for hot hot sun, bbqs, and for some reason fruit! No wonder this was the inspiration for a lovely table setting! Check out these fruity ideas from the Hostess with the Mostess!

Such a simple centerpiece, and when you are done it can be dessert!

Dress up paper napkins by tying them with ribbon to match your color scheme.

Using festive colored beverages is a great idea! What a refreshing decoration!

Check out this sweet Fiesta that Modern Marie held at her home for her 20th birthday! I just love all of the bright colors! Her blog is so full of inspiration, these photos make me want to have a fiesta of my own! 

What a creative invitation! So simple to make, I love it!

Yum! Margarita pie!

The paper flowers are such great details in this party!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow...Ryan turns 3!

Here is a party that my cousin Ashley threw for her daughter Ryan's 3rd birthday! The Wizard of Oz is such a great party theme for children! So fanciful! Check out the details of this adorable party!

Ashley used sidewalk chalk to create a "yellow brick road" down her front walkway. So people could follow the yellow brick road to the party!

Legs of the wicked witch of the East!

Rainbow piñata!

Pinwheels and swirly lollipops brought a bit of Munchkinland to the party!

I just love the cotton candy tornado!

What a creative mind! Not a surprise, after all she's the one who threw my beautiful "Love is in Bloom" bridal shower!

Thanks for the party inspirations Ashley!

Black, white, and hot pink party!

I have recently developed an interest in finding all the inspiration I can for bachelorette parties! I have been researching activity ideas, decorations, and scouring the internet for the best decor ideas out there! Here is one of my favorites! These are photos from Kim at Head of the Table , a company that rents every type of dish you could dream of for any party that catched your fancy! More inspirations can be found at headofthetable.blogspot.com!

Kim believes that "when you set the table, you set the mood." I just love the combination of hot pink and the damask-like pattern. According to Kim, the pink base says, "let's have some fun!" while the pattern and hydrangeas say " this is a classy and chic soiree"

All the tableware shown is available to rent at Head of the table

Check out this creative and budget conscious party decoration! She used led pink and white led lights to add some ambiance. Swirls printed on regular computer paper were wrapped in a cylinder around the lights and topped with ribbon to finish off the look. What a fabulous idea!
