Pretty in Pink Barnyard Party

Let us start off by saying that Gold+Bee absolutely adores an at-home celebration (if you haven't already noticed). There is something so nostalgic and intimate about them. This is why we were so THRILLED to work with Charlotte's mom, Gabrielle, on the baby animal party with Lily Pulitzer inspired color and decor for their backyard party!

Charlotte's house is set on a gorgeous property, so it wasn't hard to make it look pretty. For the upper deck, where guests would be enjoying lunch and cake, we created a canopy of pink tissue pom-poms, big green balloons, and a delicate pennant bunting.  For the dining space, we brought in pink and green floral blankets, for kids to eat picnic style.

 A vintage dresser and bamboo bar cart were set for cake and sweets displays. Charlotte's aunt made the cake for which we provided the topper (teeny tissue pom poms and tiny pink and muslin bunting). The cupcakes were adorned with green and pink paper flags on swizzle sticks.  Melissa hand frosted animal crackers with a delicious lemon icing and displayed them in little metal pails for snacking.

Along the fence we set up a photo booth, with black satin backdrop, white wicker couch, bales of hay, and plenty of stuffed animals and silly props to keep the pint sized guests entertained. The photos of the whole group together were priceless!

As guests arrived they were given tiny handmade paper crowns and invited into the playpen with 2 baby goats, a lamb, 5 ducklings, 5 chicks, 4 bunnies, and most importantly, Vivian the piglet!!! Animal Craze did an amazing job with the animals and children, we were very impressed!

The main deck was set as a drink station, with a giant mason jar dispenser of strawberry lemonade, and antique milk bottles filled with pink peonies and green hydrangeas beneath the umbrella.

After lunch and cake, guests departed with muslin goody bags stuffed with chupa-chups lollipops, rubber duckies dressed as barnyard animals, tractor and rooster shaped crayons and hand made piggy hair clips!

Please enjoy some of the stunning photos of the day, taken by the talented Elizabeth Sullivan of Newton, MA.

Cheers and happy party planning!
