We challenged 23 talented party vendors to design a party inspired by a USA location.

Sweet Sienna Event Styling chose Los Angeles, and was inspired by the luxury and glamour of Rodeo Drive to curate this very creative Sweet Sixteen birthday party.

A Rodeo Drive inspired Sweet Sixteen birthday

What inspired you to choose Los Angeles?

I chose Los Angeles as I love the glitz and glam of celebrities . LA is known for being the capital of celebrities and celebrity sighti ngs. I’m intrigued by their luxurious lifestyles, so I immediately thought of Rodeo Drive. Arguably the most famous street in the world, Rodeo Drive is one of the most fashionable places to shop and be seen . It oozes luxury, wealth and class, so I wanted to incorporate that into my shoot.

What influenced the theme and styling?

My inspiration for this soirée was to create a Rodeo Drive themed Sweet Sixteen that a self-confessed designer brand loving girl would dream of celebrating! I wanted my set-up to include mini shopfronts as part of one main display, but instead of luxury bags and shoes, I wanted to showcase delectable desserts themed to each brand. I chose Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co. For Chanel, I wanted to capture the iconic symbol and classy black and white colours with a touch of pink to keep it feminine. Louis Vuitton are famous around the world for their designer bags and LV initials so I chose white, gold and br own to tie in with the brand’s theme. Tiffany & Co are famous for their expensive jewellery and the Tiffany Blue colour is very distinct. I wanted to capture a Breakfast at Tiffany’s feel, with the birthday girl and her guests dining amongst the luxury of Rodeo Drive.

Which DIYs or party trends did you incorporate into your shoot?

Sweet Sixteen birthday parties ar e definitely coming back in trend, long gone is the home backyar d party of the ‘80s and ‘90s. Sweet Sixteen parties disappeared for a good decade or so. Now it’s a celebration worthy of a wedding, with amazing styling, large guest list, top DJ, fabulous venue and amazing food. I also incorporated lifesize floral numbers that are so on-trend right now. They are a great backdrop to take photos with family and friends to capture lovely memories.

Planning the Springtime in Paris party

The next decision was the venue. After many joint ventures with Darlings’ Day Out, Ali knew this would be a perfect venue for the pink and pretty theme she had in mind. Combined with the irresistible lure of the children being entertained and pampered with their pamper party activities of mani-pedis and cupcake decorating, this was a no-brainer! Ali wanted to create an atmosphere for the children that exuded elegance and style but still wanted it to be soft, pretty and childlike. The circular mesh backdrops with the floral garland, from Darlings’ Day Out, were perfect for the pretty pale pink ‘Sophie’ signage from Perfectly Created 4 U to take centre stage.

The dessert table was a gorgeous combination of soft pink tulle, pretty florals in pink and peach blush and the hand sprayed gold Eiffel Tower with twinkle lights, were reminiscent of the Eiffel Tower at night. The cake, made by Stylish Soirées, was a red velvet mudcake with white chocolate ganache layers, fresh florals and the beautiful gold  ‘Ooh la la’ cake topper, by Perfectly Created 4 U, which sat next to a mini replica of the Eiffel Tower. 

Stunning handcrafted ‘Paris’ themed biscuits and macarons, by Cakes 2 Celebrate by Lisa, filled the table with more sweetness! All the guests were treated to pink lemonade and a foot soak before they chose their colour for their mani-pedis! Not to mention the cupcake decorating activity for those waiting for their pamper session. 

The long lunch table was perfectly paired with the divine pastel pink cross back chairs from Allegra and Grace chairs. Hints of gold made an appearance in the candelabras, table runner and the tableware from Favor Lane Party Boutique. 

When it was time to say Au Revoir, Golden lolly bags with hand made chalk name tags sat waiting to be given out, the perfect favour for a perfect day.
