MOMMY AND TODDLER VALENTINE PARTY

One of our favorites: Mommy and Toddler Valentine Party! Here are the details on our design -- filled with pink, hearts, flowers and balloons -- and photos by One Eleven Photography.

Lets take a moment for Mila's outfit before we get to the party details. She's wearing a Wovenplay gold sunsuit, Tutu Du Monde cape via Shop Belle and headband via Thumbeline.

The neon pink “KISS” party favor bags by Meri Meri via Paper Source sent me into a tizzy, so I incorporated them into the tablescape to hold the “VALNTN” balloons from Shop Sweet Lulu.

You may recognize the “HAPPY” piñata letters from Mila's 2nd Birthday Party.  I DIYed them from an Oh Happy Day! tutorial.  

Twink saved hundreds of dollars on our party budget by making the three layer naked cake herself.  It’s a Pamela’s Vanilla Gluten-Free Cake Mix.  And then I decorated it with peonies, anemones and ranunculus in pink, coral and magenta.

Heirloom LA did gluten-free pizzas with a choice of cured meats or vegetables.  They also did a delicious crudité platter with homemade ranch and spinach dip.  

"I love you more than pizza."

Twink made the fresh fruit tray with organic, seasonal finds from a local farmer’s market and melons from Whole Foods.  

Twink made organic strawberry water and raspberry lemonade from scratch.

For the crafting station, I wanted something that wouldn’t intimidate non-crafters, so I opted for a simple feather mobile.  I pre-painted the feathers in six different colors for guests to choose from, supplied driftwood, thread and twine, and voila!, moms and kids crafting together!

Twink and Brixton even got in on the balloon pit fun.  And by the way, the gold balloon pit is just a cheap drugstore kiddie pool covered in gold duct tape.

The giant inflatable hearts and party favors are from Oriental Trading

Happy Valentine's Day!!!  XOXO

Emily from Whisk & Whittle killed it as usual and made pumpkin spice donuts, chocolate chip cookies and brownies for the evening. And she created the gorgeous table setting above!

We started with a visual presentation of a few of our past events and their mood boards, showing inspiration that lead to the final products.

Everyone got to jump right in and create their own holiday floral arrangement, that they got to take home at the end of class.

We then moved on to the table setting portion, where each attendee got to choose their favorite tabletop items and decor, to create their own magical holiday table.

I can't even begin to thank Cassandra of Borrowed Blu for letting us use her stunning pieces for the workshop. We were so lucky to get to play with all of these gems.

We all died and went to candle heaven thanks to Yummi Candles -- who, by the way, have every color and sized candle you could ever want.

We also brought in an array of fresh fruit, herbs and gourds for the students to add to their table design. We were so blown away by how incredibly gorgeous and unique each person's table setting was. Here are more below!
