This ORANGE, PINK AND GOLD FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Thetis Sardo of Little Sooti in Australia. I love the idea of using the color scheme of the party as the actual theme! There are so many gorgeous ideas here. These are some of my favorite things about this vibrant yet elegant 1st birthday party: The gorgeous tassel banners hanging as the backdrop The stunning 3-tiered cake that incorporates all of the colors of the party The ribbon wands The candy bar displayed in apothecary jars The place settings complete with wooden utensils, milk bottles, & paper straws (three party essentials, if you ask me!) and MORE!

Here’s what Thetis said about planning the party – “I was honored to style this gorgeous 1st birthday party for a beautiful little girl named Paris. Paris mum, who is an amazing cake designer, loves all things girly and usually opts for pretty pinks and soft colour palettes. However, after throwing some ideas around, we came up with a fresh and funky colour palette consisting of tangerine, peach, & gold. The party area consisted of a dessert table which featured an amazing 3 tier cake and an ombre buttercream smash cake for Paris. We also had some yummy vanilla buttercream cupcakes, homemade marshmallows, white chocolate mousse cups and incredible cookies custom-made to match the invitations. Additionally, we included a small selection of lollies for the kids to grab throughout the day. And no dessert table is complete without a colour coordinated candy bar. Stunning tassel garlands, made by Dandy and Darling (formerly Blush Loves Mint), acted as a backdrop, and we draped gold sequined fabric over the table for that extra sparkle. The kids tables were covered in white linen paired with tangerine napkins, some cute dip dyed wooden cutlery and each place setting was complete with its own mini milk bottle. The chairs were a mini version of the Louis Ghost Chair (in red) which worked perfectly with our scheme. Centrepieces consisted of beautiful milk glass vases filled with peach and orange roses. We also had a drink dispenser set up, filled with pink lemonade for the kids to enjoy in the warmth of the sun. Other decorations included giant balloons with tassels, also made by Dandy & Darling, and hanging in the marque were honeycomb balls and bells. Each guest received their very own dip dyed ribbon wand to play with. Cute little white and gold boxes filled with pastel coloured meringues were given as party favours.” Concept, Design & Event Stylist: Little Sooti Photography: Lee Bird Photography Cake & Desserts: Cake Envy Cookies: Kookie Krumbs by Kirstie Garland & Ballons: Dandy & Darling Invitations: Ham & Pea Items used in this party available in Kara’s Party Ideas Shop: Wooden Utensils Striped Paper Straws Milk Bottles White Square Favor Boxes Apothecary Jars Pearl Gumballs Ribbon Mini Glass Dessert Jars Lollipop Sticks Balloons Cupcake Liners Honeycomb Tissue Balls
