Today is an exciting day for Kelly of The Party Dress and P is for Party as well! Kelly has produced the first issue of an e-glossy magazine full of eye candy! I was thrilled to be a part of the occasion! In the first issue of the magazine, you will see the debut of Nick's safari party along with a DIY moss cake stand tutorial.

Congratulations Kelly and thank you for allowing me to be a part of this amazing issue!

{Real Parties} Come Heart With Me

I am head over heels for this party! Completely smitten! The theme, the details, the colors and the photography are stunning! Catherine Clay is a fantastic photographer in the Dallas area and she recently hosted a stylish birthday party for her daughter, Annabelle.

The party took place in Catherine's studio which provided a perfectly clean palette for the decor. 20 little girls were invited to the studio for a Valentine's themed art party to celebrate Annabelle's 5th birthday.

After working on their project - making hearts out of clay and then placing the clay on a canvas that they painted with pastels - they headed upstairs for snacks and cake.

Catherine and a friend made most of the decor which included personalized aprons and a take home art kid for the girls!

Do you see what I mean?! This party is beautiful on so many levels...simple, sweet, stylish and kiddish!

Modern Floral Baby Rattle Wreath

I think it is important to set the tone of your party at the front door. It gives guests a glimpse of what is waiting for them inside and helps set the mood of the party. Wreaths are always a beautiful addition, but this floral rattle wreath really stood out for its creativity! this modern wreath interpretation is found on the new site, On to Baby and was designed by Shannon Leahy.
