Helen’s Tea Party 7th birthday from Art with Nature Design
Um first, pls see photo below.
OMG! This makes us want little girls so much.
Kim of Art with Nature Design wanted to throw her beautiful daughter Helen a really special, really girly birthday party before she was too old to be excited by things like ruffles and sweets. We’re so super glad she did.
And a little history on Helen’s name… she was named after 3 of her great-grandmothers, all named Helen!
You might remember her beautiful home and family from our inspiring mom feature a few months ago. She’s created such a nice space for special events and everyday life.
But onto the party!
To keep it simple in the food department, she made little sandwiches, put out lots of fresh fruit, and gave the girls tons of yummy sweets.
She borrowed mis-matched china from a friend for the place settings, made table runners and napkins, and called on Found Rentals for the larger furniture and pieces.
Naturally, the florals were gorgeous.
So many ruffles.
Handmade pin the tail on the pig!
Love the portraits Michael Radford took.
Such a fun afternoon with little girls. And the photos captured Helen at such a sweet age. We want to frame them and she’s not even ours!

Loved everything about this birthday party. Im trying to plan my daughter's first birthday. Can I ask where Helen's hair bow was from?

Hi, The party looks wonderful. My daughter. Alice is getting married in May and spotted Helens beautiful dress which would be perfect for her flower girl. Where did you purchase and if you still have it would you be interested in selling it please!? Thank you Tracy

I love this idea! I would like to know if you would be able to tell me where the fabric is from in the picture where Helen sitting. I went to Joanne Fabric but they did not have anything similar. Thank you
