Paper flowers AND colorful ruffly tutus?? Think we’ve found a winner as far as girly spring party themes go. And the best part is, you can’t go overboard with a concept like this. Alllll the colors and accessories and sparkles are in order. Just take it from Alana Beall of Vanity’s Edge, who was behind the photos and set design inspired by a ‘garden of girls’: think modern day Rose Petal Place meets Alice in Wonderland. Yep, on board with it already…

Wouldn’t these paper flower headdresses be so so good for a spring dress up party? Beyond fun for the girls and imagine the photos…

A little glitter around the eyes truly completes the look, no?

Naturally all these little dollies got us in the spring shopping mood, so we’ve rounded up a few colorful frocks for ya below.

mabo auden dress in staccato floral / Go Gently Nation gauze maxi dress / Smallable Striped Dress Rust / Rylee + Cru Layla Dress in Sailboats / Louise Misha Pom Pom Dress / OshKosh Zinnia Sleeveless Dress / mabo gemma dress in ramble floral / Flora and Henri Moondance Nightie / bitte Oslo Organic Baby Dress  / Gap floral dress / boden embroidered boho dress / Tutu de monde jardin tutu dress from The Borrowed Boutique

And since Alana + the team snagged those dresses from The Borrowed Boutique, who we’ve featured here on Cakelet a few times, we included one of our fave tutu du monde numbers that are available to rent on their site. Borrowed Boutique is like a luxe kiddo version of Rent The Runway, if you haven’t heard. Can we all agree that buying formal and party wear for special events and photo shoots is a teeny bit exhausting (mostly for our wallets, obvs) when littles grow so very fast? Super neat to know you can grab the most darling pieces, that they likely wouldn’t wear after said event anyway. Not to mention, they give back with each purchase, and have boys duds too!

Thanks to Alana and the crew below for these paper flower dress up + party ideas!
