{Event Recap} Alexa's Bright and Sunny Elmo Birthday

I was very excited when a former client contacted me to help her design her daughter's birthday party again this year! Last year I designed a yummy Candy Shoppe party for her 1st birthday. This year Alexa turned two and, of course, is in LOVE with Elmo. However, her mother didn't want to throw the standard Sesame Street party using primary colors. Instead I focused on using really bright girly colors for the design. The tables were covered in red (of course), orange, yellow, pink and white with lots of little Elmo accent pieces and polka dots.


The desserts included lots of mini Elmos all over the table!

Elmo Sugar Cookies

Elmo Cake Pops and Colorful Cookie Pops

Elmo cupcakes and an Elmo candle which sat next to the cake,
which was topped with a pink street sign with Alexa's name on it.

My client also got a super yummy recipe for lemon blossoms from Paula Deen and those were a huge hit, as well as a perfect color match for the design.

For the food table I combined both bright and colorful dishes with kid friendly fare. The menu was made up of a beautiful summer pizza, fresh fruit, croissant and PB&J sandwiches, corn dogs, and fruit and veggie platters arranged to look like Sesame Street characters (thank you Pinterest)!
