Not sure we’ve ever shared so many beautiful life events from the same couple as we have creative mama Samantha Dapper and her hubs Kyle. Back in 2014 we featured their Parisian engagement party +  Palm Springs e-sesh. Then of course there was this cute tropical bridal shower and finally, their stylish Palm Springs nuptials. Hooray! Then last year we were all smitten with Samantha’s sweet (and very French) backyard baby shower. Somehow their little dolly is already ONE! Naturally a French first birthday was in order and Corrie Lynn Photo captured the sweetest photos. So honored to have shared this journey to marriage and motherhood!

Cute snaps for the gift table!

Samantha is definitely your go-to gal for Parisian themed parties here in California.

Shindig Chic always makes Samantha’s events that much sweeter with beautiful blooms.

Mademoiselle Elle looking most charming in her floral crown!

The sweets table featured little E’s smash cake and baked goodies from Butter Cake Shoppe, and they decorated the rest with Erin Elyse Long‘s faux cakes. Good thinking!

Prettiest snack setup.

Aren’t the balloons and long ribbons here so so cute?

That’s one happy girl!

How sweet was the backyard 4th of July party we shared earlier this week, you guys? As promised, we have some more kid-friendly 4th of July party inspiration, thanks to Megan Welker and the team at Beijos Events. This party has another fun take on red, white, and blue with some pretty peonies and creative desserts and an expertly curated kids’ table, because that’s what happens when the mamas in attendance are hostesses too!

There is seriously no shortage of creative 4th of July desserts in this party, mamas.

Frost Your Cookie really brought it with the USA and star-spangled treats.

Meghann Miniello whipped up this playful invite for the occasion.

Pretty sure “Party in the USA” is officially a classic 4th of July theme.

We can always count on Creative Amme for fun little party details!

And how easy and yet totally fun is a balloon wall backdrop for a party like this? Reminds us of this heart balloon backdrop from way back when. Simple and festive!

Did we mention the stars of the show, right here?! The girls donned Kinder Co clothing and accessories from The Daydream Republic. There’s some fun swimwear mixed in too!

This cake is so fun!

And how ridiculously adorable is this little crew in their 4th of July outfits? So good!

Mamas, this baby shower by RMBO Collective and Rachel Havel has the loveliest color palette and decor. It was all inspired by a modern day high tea with lots of fun surprise elements that friends Jaimi and Jennifer hosted for mama-to-be Janel of Fiore Beauty (remember when we shared her Paris elopement?) at a gorgy LA home. They even used Jaimi’s incredible vintage china collection (it’s soooo good!) for an extra unique tablescape:

Perfectly complemented by all of borrowed BLU‘s tabletop essentials.

If you know Janel, you know she’s got impeccable style, so all her gals wanted to make sure she had a day to match!

Delicate mini sandwiches and desserts from Whoa Nelly and delicious teas were served alongside celebratory champagne and sparkling cocktails with homemade shrub mixers. Prettiest finger foods ever!

State of Grace Healing was there with her essential oil blending station to bring positive vibes to Janel and co. Everyone loved blending their own crystal-infused custom scents.

Told ya this mama has style!

And did we mention the baby animals? Piglets, bunnies, guinea pigs, alpacas and goats all made an appearance at the party, thanks to Farm Friendz. Now this was a HIT.

Our Amanda was there to shower Janel, too.

Still can’t get over that beautiful, vibrant emerald and gold color palette. So happy for you, Janel!

Happy May Monday, mamas! We have the loveliest vintage French cafe themed birthday for ya today, and don’t you all know how much we love a floral French theme? Johanna of Johanna Leigh Weddings & Events dreamt this one up, as inspired by childhood memories and a beloved floral print (details below!), at Toronto’s Mint Room Studios. pepperandlight photographers has all the deets in the photos of this party which is lovingly referred to as “Charlie’s Cafe”:

Maison Maquette created this pretty floral print for the team to use as a jumping off point for the design. They carried it through with the custom vinyl floor and placemats from Finer Events.

What says vintage French cafe better than a Burberry poplin dress?

From Johanna of Johanna Leigh Events, We were working with a bright white blank canvas with a gorgeous arched alcove. This alcove was so beautiful and minimalist, I thought a kids party would look oh so elegant in front of this beautiful backdrop! The question was, how could we jazz up this space? Reflecting back on childhood memories, that gorgeous vintage floral wallpaper in my bedroom brought back soothing and happy memories. Mom always took me to the coffee shop, which triggered the thought—who needs tea, when you can have a cocoa cappuccino! Charlie’s Café was born.

OMG, how gorgeous are these donuts?

Children’s wooden Sonoma cross back chairs paired with a white farm table from Petite Occasions. A custom lace tasseled runner lined the table with beautifully recessed blooms within Paulownia Wood vases, vintage china, brushed gold stemware, and green daisy goblet, all of which to tie in the vintage concept. Dinnerware included a ruffled napkin and topped with custom miniature menu for the little ones. The menu was specifically created with soulful home cooked recipes.

We topped off the place settings with miniature chocolate bars by Succulent Chocolates, incorporating brushed gold and hints of soft pink strawberry. Miniature donut flags were created by Johanna Leigh Weddings & Events, provided as escort tags within each donut. Christina at Truffle Cake & Pastry provided dainty floral detail touches through her donuts. Balloons were designed to provide that party feel with adding brushed gold and blooms throughout. Miniature chocolate milk topped with whipped cream was served as Charlie’s hit “Cocoa-Cappucino”.

So sooo pretty, mamas! See more in our gallery below:

Morning, all! Are you in prep mode for Easter Sunday this coming weekend? Leave it to Beijos Events and Alison Bernier to send over pretty much the most darling kids’ brunch you’ll peep this spring. It’s beyond charming and all you really need are some wildflowers and candy colored sweets to whip up your own version!

You really can’t go wrong with a Peter Rabbit theme for Easter brunch, can you? These patterned bunny cookies are too cute!

Love the idea of blooms in planter boxes surrounding the table, too! These arrangements come from French Buckets.

Oh, daisy season! How cute are these watering pails as favors?

Peachy pink blooms are some of our faves.

Kinder Co has some srsly adorable stripes and floral prints for outfitting your little dollies for spring, if you didn’t know.

Bunny ears are a must! From The Daydream Republic, of course.

Kiddo brunch party = the perfect opportunity to snag some quality photos, BTW!
