A Little Birdie Told Me You Were Expecting

By Kiss with Style

This baby shower was planned for Arpee by her mother

and younger sister. Arpee is expecting a baby girl and the

women requested a soft pink vintage style dessert table.

The design incorporate birds, symbolic to new life. The

theme took shape with a custom designed invitation by

AndersRuff, featuring two birds holding a washing line of

baby cloths and this artwork became the inspiration for

the dessert table itself. A soft colour palette of pink and

mint green was used throughout the styling. A vintage bird

cage made for an appropriate centrepiece as well as a

cake stand. The backdrop was designed to emulate the

invitation and tie the theme together. Embossed bird

shaped cookies and bird nest meringues kept with the

sweet bird theme too.

Cultural Celebration

By Steffany of

Sugar Plum Party

Steffany has always had an interest in other cultures. Hermother is from Spain and instilled in her a sense of inter-national adventure. Now that she has a daughter of herown, she wants her to embrace other cultures and customsas well. A wonderful way to introduce kids to other culturesis to host a party celebrating a foreign country’s holiday.

Steffany designed a Chinese New Year Collection, the re-sult of a versatile design that is sweet enough for a child,yet sophisticated enough for an adult. Jessica of Pen N’Paper Flowers created the geisha inspired silhouette forthis party, as Steffany shows off a party color scheme ofred, black, and gold is a traditional Chinese New Yearpalette that symbolizes happiness and prosperity.

For a party activity, she incorporated a Chinese WishingTree. There is a very famous, ancient banyan tree in LamTsuen, Hong Kong to which people travel at Chinese NewYear and during other festivals to leave their own specialwishes. First they write their wishes on colorful red wishingpaper, then they tie them to oranges, and throw them upinto the tree. If the wishes stick, it is thought that they willcome true! To create your own Wishing Tree, addbranches, secured in florist foam, to a container. Finish byfilling the container with mandarin oranges, which is a signof abundance and good fortune in the Chinese culture. Al-though the panda container is adorable, a ceramic gardenpot, painted in red, black or gold, would make a suitablesubstitute. As guests arrive, offer them a tag and requestthat they write a wish for the New Year. Once complete,they can hang their wish on the wishing tree.
