Morning, mamas! How sweet is this wintry little cake by The Sweet Lemon Bakeshop? This ‘Art-ic Wonderland” birthday party captured by Alison Bernier perfectly rounds out our month of holiday festivities, like our sugar plum fairy and winter wonderland parties, we think. Talented mama Meagan of MV Florals mixed artsy activities with winter decor for her girl Summer at the studio she attends, Art + Soul Collective. It’s pretty magical and such a good example of dreaming up something that’ll fit your little to a T.

Meagan says, Art is my daughter Summer’s favorite subject and we thought it would be fun to have her closest friends do art together! The girls learned how to roll clay and create patterns. Each girl could pick different shapes and cutters and create their own ornaments. All the ornaments were a gift to each girl.  

We’ve seen MV Florals work magic on many a colorful bloom in the past, but these all-white arrangements sure are pretty. Fluffy sweat peas, baby’s breath, and preserved white ferns gave them all a winter look.

We love the snow and this year we weren’t able to make it to Canada where my family is from, so we thought we would bring a little winter for the party. The snowflakes were a DIY project with a Cricut cutter. We love The Daydream Society’s “Frosted” collection which worked perfectly on the tables and the tattoos as part of the girls treat bags.  

And since Summer is a huge fan of pink, she included soft pinks and iridescent hues in the décor and cake too.

The girls munched on all the goodies while they worked away at their creations!

Fun crown, too.

Happy holidays, everyone! Thanks to Meagan for sharing this sweet party with us.

Winter comes with so many good party themes that once the holidays are over, there’s still plenty of time for winter whites and glitter and pretty metallics to get excited about. Jacqui of Deets & Things is clearly on the same page as us, and when it came to creating a winter wonderland party for Kristen’s little gal Pia’s 1st, it was all feminine and dainty decor with lots of sweet treats. Thanks to Ilene Squires Photography for capturing the details!

Isn’t this mega floating snowflake chandelier MAGIC?! So brilliant.

And this lil’ corner… The cutest.

The guests cozied up on poufs and blankets and all the little ones got snowflake wands from Tara Lekatana.

PS The paper plates come from Harlow & Grey‘s new collection, Blanc.

And you thought you’d seen all the winter sweets this season had to offer, right? Nooope! Mitten cookies and snowflake macarons, check and check.

Jen Tee Bakes whipped up these two darling cakes too, and the metallic tassel garland backdrop comes from One Stylish Party.

Guests even got to enjoy a show by Bob Baker Marionettes!

This little corner? We gotta say, balloons and glitter and flowers are sooo the right kind of post-party mess. Pretty sure *any* sparkly dress-up party featuring the kind of darling ensembles you’re about to see would get a little dolly excited for NYE, but we love how Abby of Beijos Events kept it sweet and light, and not the least bit traditional. Thanks to Julie Cahill for these cute photos!

Stylish fashion rental company Rainey’s Closet is to credit for the aforementioned darling wardrobe at this chic bash…

All the disco balls, please!

The girls also rocked glittery face makeup a la Beauty by M.

And because you’ll definitely be wondering about the headbands once you’re finished scrolling through the rest of these images, they’re by David and Leanna. New Years party perfection!

See what we mean?

Because all good parties require coordinating outfits.

Cupcakes and costumes = major fun for the littles. Bottle brush trees and fresh winter greens = party pretties for the mamas. Beijos Events always knows how to make a fête fun for the whole crew, and these photos by Alison Bernier of their kids Christmas party might even inspire a few last minute ideas. Especially if you’ve got a playdate coming up this week…

Love what the talented crew at Sweet & Saucy Shop came up with in terms of holiday sweets this year. So super cute.

Oh, and this uber festive balloon install? Wild Child Party sure wasn’t shy about decking out their space for the holidays!

Darling duds and accessories from Numi Kids and The Daydream Republic made these little dollies feel extra special.

Can’t forget the misters in attendance!

The amazing thing about this Christmas kids party that Beijos Events and Heather Kincaid sent our way (besides those spectacular pillows from Boho Pillow) is that it’s got all the fixin’s to be so so fun for littles AND bigs. Moms will love all the design driven decor and casual playdate setup, and kiddos will have a blast writing letters to Santa with their pals.

Sweet jolly balloons!

You probably didn’t know you needed a macrame Christmas tree, didja? Elizabeth McTague is beyond talented.

Is it really Christmas if you’re not cozying up fireside with a pup in your arms…

Lots of their holiday decor came from Land of Nod, who is having a big sale on it right now.
