Recently, I had the pleasure of designing a birthday party with the whimsical theme, “My Fairytale Life.” We wanted to play with the idea of a storybook tale come to life, with, of course the most sophisticated and luxurious details and color accents. To extend the theme further, we assigned different characters to each guest at the party. I, for example, was the “Big Bad Wolf.” I wonder why…?
Check out the pictures from the party below to, hopefully, awaken your muse and inspire your own fantasy-like birthday theme.

Tell me, what is the most whimsical theme you have ever designed for a party (could be your own or someone else’s)?

This is gorgeous! I have a friend who’s getting married 2011 Spring. I love those tall flower centerpieces…Do you have an estimate about how much they go for? They are fabulous!

I have to say my most favorite event I planned was a graduation luau for a 3.8 high school grad. With real sea shells, tropical floral centerpieces, tiki torches, bright bold linens, a waterfall 3 tier cake and professional hula dancers the event lasted all night. Now it wasn’t whimsical but it was well deserved.
