When life gives you lemons
Party Mums came to the rescue to plan and create an intimate family party for a quaran’teen’ager celebrating a milestone birthday during the lockdown. Through our party planning process, we discovered that the birthday girl had a love of lemons and we knew straight away what the perfect theme would be for this special celebration. ‘When life gives you lemons, make lemonade’.
Using the enclosed garden at the family home we set up a low level table with scatter cushions for the family to enjoy a relaxed birthday picnic. Beautiful scalloped edged tableware decorated with lemons and gold foil detail were the perfect match for the theme. A white mini drinks trolley trimmed with bright yellow bunting and a drinks dispenser, filled with homemade lemonade and ice, were just what you needed to quench your thirst on a hot day. Yellow and white striped paper straws decorated with mini lemon balloon details looked super cute on the trolley, along with a bespoke lemon shaped piñata.
A vintage dressing table was used to create the main focus and backdrop for the party. The drawers were filled with mini balloons, flowers and eucalyptus all coordinating with the fresh white, lemon and green colour palette. Beautiful pin wheels in various sizes decorated the mirror and a hand made streamer garland above, added texture and movement to the display. Bespoke hand made sweet treats displayed on the dresser included mini popcorn boxes, mini chocolate bars, push pop sweet containers and lemon shaped and scalloped shaped slogan cookies. All perfectly matched to the party theme.
The final touch included giant white number ’13’ balloons and a custom made t-shirt using the party slogan for the birthday girl to wear. An intimate family party to celebrate this birthday milestone and hopefully an afternoon to remember!
