Super Mario Bros Party!

LBC Event Styling was asked to do a Super Mario Bros party recently at a lovely client's home for a gorgeous 10 year old boy. Part of the brief is that she wanted to have the set up on her buffet and it was her son's favourite theme Mario Bros. The fun of this job is immersing yourself into different themes, it's ever changing -one week it will be an elegant wedding, another week a cocktail party,  the following week it may be Super Mario!! we have some beautiful themes coming up..so stay tuned..

It's great from our perspective because we research everything before we plan the party and you do get to learn lots of different things, our work is diverse and now from our extensive research of Super Mario one of the benefits is we can play this game on Nintendo Wii!!

Desire to Inspire: Real Party and Cake Feature by Cakes by Sharon

Sharon is a gorgeous and talented cake maker based in Sydney,  you can find her inspiring cakes here . I thought I would also showcase a pretty party and a farm cake she recently made. You might recognise the adorable farm cake as it was recently photographed in Shop 4 Kids.

This beautiful party below was in honour of her gorgeous daughter's christening.
Sharon did everything herself; the flowers, the pots, table runners, she made all
the cupcakes, place cards, the menus were embossed had a little flower on them, all the butterflies and rose garlands she put up at the restaurant herself.  The beautiful favour boxes were also made by Sharon -all 40 of them, so 80 tops and bottoms & it was an original origami box.  The colour palette for the cupcakes is just gorgeous don't you think and the freshness of the tables is beautiful. What a gorgeous day Sharon!

Pretty Bridal Shower Themes by guest blogger Jennifer from Arcadian Home Decor

Hi all! I'm Jennifer and I write for Arcadian Home Decor, a site that specializes in
top quality home decor items. I've been writing about home decor
since graduating university and have loved it ever since. I'm addicted to patterned
fabrics, Jonathan Adler, chaise lounges, old doors, milk glass jars, antiques, and
more. I spend my days perusing catalogues and home decor blogs...what a life!

When a close friend or family member is the bride-to-be, there are two pre-wedding
'dos that the ladies love -- bachelorette parties and bridal showers. The bridal
shower is usually a more reserved, elegant party for the special women in the
bride's life, young and old, to come together and "shower" the honouree in love and
good tidings (i.e. presents!). And pretty bridal shower themes set the tones for
these events.

Need some help? Here's some inspiration.

For the Betty Crocker viaMywedding

If the woman of the hour loves to cook, give her a kitchen-themed shower. Inform
guests on the invitation that they should bring kitchen-related gifts, and use
practical kitchen items, like utensils and measuring cups, as table decor (then give them to the bride afterwards).

For the naturalist viaMy Sweet Bridal Shower

A clean colour palette is one of the best ways to pull together a pretty bridal
shower theme -- this all-white setting has an organic burlap runner, natural baby's
breath table decorations and fun individual cakes for guests
to take home as favours.

For the Parisian at heart viaThe Housewife Wannabe

Ooh la la -- what bride wouldn't love an elegant brunch beneath the Eiffel Tower?
Tea cups and vases overflow with sophisticated roses, while tiny dishes hold
candy-coated Jordan almonds in pastel colours.

For the green thumb viaBelle Maison

If the guest list is a tad long then set a number of differently-shaped tables with
a rainbow of cloths, add matching table decor like flowers and decorative napkins,
and thread colourful origami paper pinwheels to hang overhead.

For the flower lover viaThe Darling World of C

Looking for something that's shabby chic? We can't get enough of this flowery buffet
set-up, which includes a bevy of clear bottles filled with sprigs of blooms and hung
with twine.

For the girly-girl viaPinterest

A girly bride-to-be would love a pink bridal shower theme, and there's no shortage
of fabulous pink accessories for this party, with everything from dishware and table
linens to wall art and table decorations.

For the sweet-tooth viaCamille Styles

Give the bride a bridal shower she'll never forget with a table brimming with an
abundance of treats - lollipops, rock candy, candy dots, ribbon candy, old-fashioned
swirly sticks, jelly beans, and bubble gum cigars are just a sampling of what's
presented at this sugary buffet.

For the classic bride viaCrinoline & Tweed

A spot of tea in vintage cups, cakes, macaroons, and blossoming flowers are all the
ingredients needed for this pretty bridal shower theme. Girlfriends, moms, aunts,
and even your proper Grandma Mimi will approve of this ladylike affair.
