1.OUR LITTLE EXPLORER
For the adventurous parents who love travelling, this is a theme perfect for you & to inspire your lil’ ones. We love this vibrant, vintage airplane-themed dessert table featured on Hostess With The Mostess, styled by Kiss My Cakes.
WE LOVE:
WE LOVE:
- The simple but sophisticated bright pops of yellow & aqua amidst vintage browns
- Impactful & easy decorative accents with vintage map papers folded into airplanes, custom luggage tags and using vintage suitcases/globes as table centerpieces.
- TIP: We love the idea of upcycling an old travel globe with calligraphy! Paint on your kid’s name or a special quote & display this in his/her nursery as well!
2. SOPHISTICATED SAFARI
I love love love this watercolor animal parade-themed idea designed by the talented Keren Precel Events . So modern, but such fun whilst incorporating elements of a traditional safari or jungle theme.
WE LOVE:
WE LOVE:
- The earthy color palette of muted greens and browns with pops of coral and yellow.
- The darling watercolor backdrop of a safari animal parade really made this party exude vintage sophistication.
- TIP: Whip out your kids’ animal toys, spray paint them gold for an added glam touch!
3. WATERCOLOR ELEPHANTS
Featured on Amy Atlas’s Blog, I adore this Moroccan bold watercolor elephant theme by Anne from UR Invited.
I think it’s definitely a unique theme which hasn’t been done for a baby boy’s party before and it’s so sophisticated and yet minimalist as well.
WE LOVE:

WE LOVE:
- The bold hues of teal, ombre blues with gold accents, brought to life with beautiful watercolor painted paper décor on gold doillies (what a smart idea!).
- The intricate lace details on the elephant topper atop that charming cake. So simple, but such a chic finish!
- TIP: Pull off your own themed watercolor party by focusing on shades of one color mixed in with ivory & gold for a chic finish!
4. A MODERN CINDERELLA PARTY
I am a true Disney Princesses type of girly girl. I love tulle, tiaras, wands and all things girly and pink. BUT, I am a little wary of the typical Pink+Gold saccharine sweet party themes which gets a little tacky with too much pink or too many cartoon motifs.
Which is why, this Cinderella theme by McKenzie Ashcroft of Farm Girl from Oklahoma, is a perfect modern fairy tale, sophisticated with a mint + pink + ivory palette & gold accents.

WE LOVE:
- How McKenzie had used royal carriages, tiaras and glass slippers to bring this theme to life.
- That gorgeous princess carriage cake (how cute are those mini glass slippers?)
- We love the pops of coral and pinks with that cloth tassel garland!
- TIP: Replicate dreamy details with tulle pom poms & gold glitter numbers/initial blocks!
5. A KATE-SPADE INSPIRED SOIREE
This has got to be one of my favorite party themes of all times. What’s not to love with Pink + Black + Gold! A gorgeous take on a Pool Party by Banners Events, I think this is a versatile theme even for a 21st, 30th or 50th birthday and definitely a modern and super chic party theme for your lil’ fashionista’s 1st.
WE LOVE:

- TIP: Transform your party venue to coordinate with your theme with large, impactful decorations, in this case- themed table covers & runners in gold, black glitter & fuschia!

6. PASTEL GEMS
This styling was taken out of The Sketchbook Series’ Workshop and it is so gorgeous. I’m so stoked I chanced upon it over at Best Friends for Frosting because I think it’s the perfect, modern party theme without being overly saccharine. If you haven’t, please follow these 2 wonderful sites for the most amazing party inspo!
What’s playing in my mind now is Rihanna’s “Shine bright like a diamond” with these gem-shaped desserts & garlands <3
WE LOVE:
What’s playing in my mind now is Rihanna’s “Shine bright like a diamond” with these gem-shaped desserts & garlands <3
WE LOVE:
- The different ways gems were incorporated- from 3D paper gem garlands, to diamond cookies, chocolate gem shards in macarons and angular dessert shots. So so so gorgeous & minimalist.
- What’s better than gems? Flowers of course! To add a pop of orange & coral to this beautiful pastel palette.
- TIP: Use washi tape or cut out strips of crepe paper/tissue paper & overlay them in a straight, angular, geometric fashion for a hassle-free backdrop or photobooth!
