Alannah Rose Party – Wrap Me In Rainbows {The Party}
alannah rose new designs, alannah rose parties, life, partiesWell here we are back from a lovely weekend and a fantastic and fun rainbow party!
Alannah had an amazing time, she was so happy the entire day, and I thought I’d share the pics with you.
Keeping with our our rainbow theme and inspired by the book ‘You, Me and the Rainbow’ I introduced a heart element into the invitation design as well as some of the design elements in keeping with the rainbow ritual in the book ‘sending a rainbow from my heart to yours’.
We were both really excited about this theme, it was so much fun to work on.

Favours – guests were given ‘Cookie Love’ take home rainbow gingerbread hearts; The kids party table – one of my favourite things and a fabulous find that I used for this party were the garlands – you can’t see much of them in the pics, but I strung them all over the roof, mainly in white, with some bulk colour for the rainbows. These were not actually garlands, but strings of wool! Yes wool, it’s called snowball and you can purchase it in 25 metre lengths in a multitude of colours from Lincraft or Spotlight for around $3.50. A bargain!
Entertainment – I wanted to sit back and enjoy the party this time around so I organised for Stephanie from Fairy Flutterby to entertain the guests. Stephanie is a fantastic entertainer and talented face painter. She kept the girls laughing with a magic show, dancing, games, facepainting and balloon sculpting – what more could you ask for! I highly recommend her.
More Details:
Stationery – All of the stationery items used in this party are now available for purchase through Alannah Rose as printable party files, you can view our ‘wrap me in rainbows’ printable party invitations and matching items here.

Ella’s 5th {Busy Bee Party}
alannah rose parties, life, partiesWe’ve been busy bee’s here of late. Not only are we busy with Spring and Summer weddings, but we celebrated Miss Ella’s 5th Birthday on the weekend. She chose our Buzz Buzz Bee invitations last July (while i was standing on a ladder decorating for her ladybird party!), and has done nothing but talk about her bee party ever since!
I was brave and made the cakes myself this time. Ella and I had fun in the kitchen playing with fondant – it’s the first time I’ve made a cake with fondant, so I’m happy with the way they came up! Some pics below of the dessert table and party, I hope they inspire you for things you can do with our buzz buzz bee party theme.
Food made for the dessert table included Honey Joys, Yo-Yo’s, Ginger-Bee’s and Buzz Cakes. Guests sipped on nectar and were given little ‘sweet as honey’ jars of sweets to take home. Entertainment was provided by Disco Pop Parties – the busy bee’s disco! And we finished up with a bee pinata.

Draw On My Cake
parties, sunday findsThis such a fun idea from Sweetapolita if you have an artistic little one! What about icing a white cake and giving your birthday child an edible marker to truly create a cake that represents them?
Eclectic {vintage} Rose
inspiration boards, weddingsFor a different spin on our popular Latte Lace wedding invitation, I thought I’d make it a little more fun by using a mish mash of favourite things- some pretty rosette shoes, a sparkly charm bracelet. This is a relaxed wedding- comfortable shoes, comfortable gowns and a lot of laid back, casual touches.
