{birthdays | a winter theme birthday for jolie anne | la mirada}

Hello blog world! I’m back! Happy 2014 to all of you!! I know that I have been away from the blog and social media the past few weeks since there have been a lot of things going on in the business and in our personal lives. I hope that everyone including all of our past clients and blog followers had an amazing holiday season surrounded by their family and friends.

Today I’m happy to be back on the blog and share a special event we planned and designed for one of our littlest clients. Lori contacted me  late last year needing some help in planning her only daughter’s (Jolie Ann) first birthday. A special thanks goes out to one of our favorite clients – The Valdez Family who connected me with Lori. Remember their racing themed birthday party for their 2 boys that we helped plan at the Chino Museum? Check out our post featuring Adam and Noah’s birthday party that was full of details and amazing photos.

Since our first meeting, Lori mentioned that she really wanted to do a Winter themed party for their Jolie Ann since her birthday is right before the holidays seasons. She mentioned that she wanted to avoid any holiday type of decor or theme in order to really focus the party on Jolie Ann. Like many moms, Lori has been on Pinterest pinning her heart away scouring for ideas on what to do for the party. I’m really thrilled to share some of the wonderful photos that Cattura Photography took of Jolie Anne’s birthday.

Some of our favorites from this party includes –

-          Snow flocked centerpieces with touches of pink

-          The delicious birthday cake topped with a snow fairy provided by Dhoreen's Piece of Cake in San Diego

-          Mason jar snow globes for the kids’ craft area
-          The wishing tree we designed for the guests to hang their prayers/wishes for Jolie Anne

-          ALL of their guests' favors!! They could not choose just 1 favor but instead gave away 4 different types of favors for all to enjoy after the party.

o    Smores kit favors that were individually  handcrafted

o    Pixie dust jars for each of the little girls that came to celebrate

o    Burlap bags filled with silver kisses for each of the little boys that came to party with Jolie Anne

o    and a silver snowflake (that doubled as an ornament) for the families to remember this fun event by

 

Thank you to the Lee Family for allowing us the opportunity to help create this whimsical & wonderful event for their little princess. We can't wait to work with you again on future parties for your family.
