Joey’s Pantone Party

Working with Sarah and Kevin for their third baby girl Joey was an absolute pleasure. Sarah is a remarkable, talented, and creative person, which made it all the more interesting to see what she had envisioned for her daughter’s party. She had many unique ideas, but was not quite certain about what she wanted.

After some brainstorming, we decided to go with a Pantone color theme, inspired by Sarah’s desire for a minimal and uncluttered look. We selected a beautiful color palette of mustard, mint, and pink, and incorporated some of Sarah’s cute ideas into the overall concept.

The event was held at the Carmel Mountain Country Club, a stunning venue with plenty of natural light. Angela at Wednesday Cakes created an exquisite cake, cake pops, and cookies that perfectly matched the color scheme. We also personalized Japanese pocky boxes into Pantone cards with each child’s name. We also, displayed a snack wall with colorful Asian snacks and sweets.

The children had their own table, decorated with a colorful balloon garland and activity sheets at each place setting. We also included a bouquet of balloons and an activity for each guest to complete at every table.

I am so pleased with how the theme turned out, and everything looked beautiful. It was an absolute joy to work with Sarah and Kevin, and I wish them all the best with their beautiful baby girl, Joey.

A Botanical Garden Party for Meritt!

Once upon a time, there was a cute and happy little girl named Meritt. Her family had planned a dreamy garden party to celebrate her special day. The party was just gorgeous, and everyone was in love with how it turned out!

The garden was decorated with a perfect palette of muted blush pink florals and simple eucalyptus. We had worked together with the staff at Red O and their team to bring the vision to life. The result was a beautiful blend of traditions for Meritt, incorporating her Korean and Chinese roots.

The party had all the traditional Korean customs, such as dduk rice cakes and doljabi, and they also added a nice twist of Chinese traditions. One of the highlights of the celebration was an amazing dragon dance that really wowed and entertained all the guests.

There were plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy. The kids had a blast with the crafts, balloon twister, and amazing caricaturist. The Red O team provided awesome food and service, and there were yummy snacks for everyone to munch on.

The desserts and cake were made by the talented three50bakes, and everyone couldn’t stop raving about how delicious they were. It was truly a feast for the senses, and Meritt was the happiest little girl in the world!

As the sun began to set, the party slowly came to an end, but the memories of the dreamy botanical garden party would last a lifetime. It was a perfect day filled with love, laughter, and happiness, and i’m sure Meritt felt so grateful to have such an amazing family and friends who put together such a wonderful celebration for her.

Black and white unicorn Korean 1st birthday!

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon when Grace and Daniel hosted their daughter Blake’s first birthday party, also known as dohl party, at the Brick and Laurel event space in La Mesa. Grace had a specific vision for the party, and she wanted it to be a modern take on the unicorn theme. So, our help, she created a super cute and stylish celebration.

The venue was decorated with a black and white color scheme, accented with pops of pink. The room was adorned with unicorn-themed graphic designs, and pink sequins shining. The venue had an urban vibe that perfectly suited the modern style that Grace was aiming for.

The guests were greeted with packaged matching candy bags, snacks, and popcorn, which they could enjoy while mingling with other guests. The favors were beautifully adorned with unicorn tags, adding a touch of magic to the party.

The real showstopper was the cake and cookies by Wednesday Cakes, which were almost too beautiful to eat. The cake was a work of art, with a white unicorn horn. The cookies were also decorated with unicorns and geometric patterns, tying in with the party’s theme.

Throughout the party, Blake was dressed in an adorable black and white dress with a unicorn horn headband. She was surrounded by her family and friends, all of whom were enjoying the festivities.

Overall, the party was a huge success, and Grace was thrilled with how everything turned out. It was a modern take on a classic theme, and it perfectly captured the fun and magical spirit of a dohl party. Blake and her guests will surely remember this party for years to come.

Breakfast at Julies

“Breakfast at Tiffany’s” inspired Baby shower

My girlfriend was having a baby girl and we thought how cute would it be to have breakfast at her home. So we decided to go with a “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” Inspired baby shower. We were a little afraid that it would seen too much like a boy shower because of the tiffany blue, but I think the design is so pretty that it would be good for both boy and girl.

She Leaves a little Sparkle

Stars and stripes was the perfect theme for Isabelle as her first birthday was so close to the 4th of July. The tricky part of designing for this theme was to stay away from the red, white and blue we were seeing everywhere for this theme. We wanted to keep it very girly by keeping it pink and sparkly with glitter. I think we achieved our goal of it looking girly and not so much 4th of July-ish. Isabelle’s parents spared no expense when it came to all the details they put in to make the party come together. They had cute goodie bags for all the kids and sparklers to take home for everyone.
