Tickled Pink: Indi's sophisticated 2nd birthday party

This party was originally featured in the Confetti Fair Mini Mag Winter 2018 edition.

This beautiful 2nd birthday, styled by Carpe Diem Styled Events, combined lights, florals and pops of berry create the ultimate playful and modern cool-kid do. Read on for details by stylist Daniela Bull!

Tickled Pink was the name that inspired this sophisticated little soiree. Tickled related to being playful and childlike and pink was the chosen colour palette and inspiration for the party.

Mini white tiffany chairs were chosen to complement the table. Gold placemats, pink plates and knotted linen napkins, created the feeling of elegance, fit for any prince or princess. I envisioned this party to feel like a child’s version of an elegant grown-up tea party.

For this party, I wanted something on-trend for the backdrop, so worked with Foote and Flame to create the statement neon sign with the birthday girl’s name. It added a total wow factor to the room and created a beautiful scene for the table. A small garland of balloons was added to create dimension.

For desserts, I wanted an ombre of pink tones and chose red velvet and vanilla cupcakes, enlisting the talents of The Cake Nook. I created the birthday cake, which was a simple and elegant creation, topped with the perfect flower – a Phalaenopsis orchid.

There was a separate space for the cake and cupcakes, which was another showstopper element for photos and guests. For this, I worked with Foote and Flame who created gold plinths to hold the cupcakes, and another for the cake. Gold circular signage was also created to showcase the birthday girl’s name in fuchsia pink, adding another layer of the wow factor!
