lemon inspired birthday picnic

We've been looking forward to sharing the details with you from our birthday picnic in the park last Sunday! Even though we only saw a few short glimpses of the sunshine, the fresh colour palette of soft yellows and grey served as the perfect backdrop for an early spring day.

 

Lemon infused desserts included home made coconut and lemon curd cake, lemon and vanilla mousse verrines and mini lemon meringue pies. Each guest took home a personalised favour bag filled with cookies resembling sliced lemon! Who said kids should have all the fun?

Lemon myrtle beer, pisco sours and home made lemonade were served alongside savoury bites such as mini hamburgers, quiche and french baguettes.

 























Since it was Father's Day on the same day, we adapted the stationery to create a surprise table setting for our Dads :) We love you!

We love this colour palette as it's suitable for any type of event; from birthdays to kitchen teas or even a gender neutral baby shower.
If you'd like to purchase any of the stationery used in our picnic - like the customised cutlery sleeves, coasters, patterned food flags, personalised favour tags and of course the invites - they will be available in our online store soon.

Welcome to Spring Australia! Bring on the sunshine!!

sneaky peek pic... plus guest blogging with Calico & Co.!

Well our event on the weekend turned out pretty well after some hairy moments (and freak-outs from me) in the dicey Melbourne weather - you can imagine how I felt viewing the weather reports and flood warnings for Victoria in the lead-up to your outdoor boutique BBQ! But we managed to get through it pretty well! We will add the pics to our gallery soon, and are working on the paper pieces to get them into our etsy store.

BUT - in the meantime:

Boutique Picnic sneak preview...

We're busy preparing for our next event - a birthday picnic in the park for three guests of honour! To mark the beginning of spring, we decided on a crisp and fresh colour palette of lemon, white and soft grey. The menu is also starting to take shape; think mini hamburgers, gourmet quiche and an assortment of lemon sweets. To wash it all down, we'll be serving boutique beer, citrus cocktails and home made organic lemonade.

Here's our progress on the paper and fabric elements - yes that's 6 metres of bunting and a miniature version for the cake!

We hope you have a fabulous week and in the meantime, check out Becs Lake's blog! She emailed us some pictures of her awesome NZ inspired dessert table - the sheep cake pops are absolutely adorable! Thanks for sharing Becs =)

welcome to Layla's enchanted rose garden!

Here are some details from Layla's first birthday! The gorgeous lovely giant pink rose in full bloom was the inspiration behind this theme. Our mini table included a two tier chocolate mud cake with handmade sugar rose, butterfly cupcakes and cookies, fizzoes, iced VoVo's, meringues and cloud marshmallows. Pink lemonade was served in vintage glass bottles complete with cute themed straws.
Each guest took home a vanilla cupcake in a personalised box tied with sweet ribbon to remember the day.
A big thank you to Amy Atlas for featuring our party on her fabulous blog!
