Last week I’ve shared an idea for the crafts party invitations that I’ve created – and today I’m bringing you the rest of the images from a wonderful Valentine’s themed birthday party – something I’ve put together with The Sweet Hostess and the wonderful glamping site in the Surrey Hills called The Green Escape.
We wanted to create a Valentine’s themed birthday party that would not be based on the explosion of red and pink hearts, and would be suitable for both boys and girls whose birthday falls on or near Valentine’s Day. To do that we opted for greens and purples, using watercolour hearts and a bold sketchy font which suited the craft element of the party and it’s location.
To compliment the picturesque environment of The Green Escape we created an informal sweet table. It was important to use elements from our surroundings so we incorporated tree stumps we found on site to style an interesting and small sweetie area.
The sweets we chose were favourites amongst children including popcorn, jelly beans, bon bons, swizzle sticks and alphabet sweets! We wanted to create something bright and colourful using some of the colour theme including purple, green, yellow and blue. The iced cupcakes were decorated with jelly bean and sprinkles all in the shape of a heart!
And can I just rave about The Green Escape a little bit? It’s the most amazing location set in six acres of beautiful National Trust woodland, tucked away in a secret spot in Surrey Hills. Not only it had a large (and very warm) communal building, perfect for a party of any kind, but there are also so much for children to explore outside, plus swings, hammocks, bridges over the stream and so much more!
