I had the most fun planning this party for Lucy.
A friend had given her the cupcake dress, so I went from there.
I loved the idea of a {vintage} style party, so I tried my best to pull in lots of vintage inspiration.
I used lots of cake plates and milk glass pieces to add to the look...
I made all the cupcakes {lemon, strawberry, and chocolate!}, and found these darling white ruffled cupcake papers which added to the vintage feel I was going for...
Antique pink roses in small green glasses, strawberries and grapes piled high....
The {sweet shoppe} was a huge hit. Apothecary jars filled with lots of goodies...
Candy Necklaces, Marshmallow Ropes, Tootsie Rolls (Lucy's fav!)
Kisses, Fruity Pops, and Strawberry & Chocolate Whoppers!
For the place settings for each girl, I used these antique glass plates, with a small Kerr jar with a grey and white striped paper straw...and my Mom made these darling little place cards.
LOTS of tissue flower poms added so much color and whimsy!
Mason {Kerr} jars were used for the pink Lemonade and Iced Tea with vintage paper straws fround on Etsy. I also made water bottle labels that said "Happy Birthday Lucy".
I put the lemonade jar on a OLD stool I had that was Toby's Great Great Grandfather's.
We also played Pin the Cherry on the Cupcake! I made this out of felt, and put a little velcro on the cherries.
I LOVE the way this party turned out. I had been planning this day for so long, and I really feel like it came together exactly how I wanted!!
Our little "cupcake" loved it too!
