A Mermaid Adventure: The Planning

It's been about two years since I have actively planned a full scale event. Can't say that I miss it. The hours of research, vendor chats, and budget management ... Nope renting chairs is much more conducive to my current lifestyle. My baby goddesses are turning 3 and 5. The eldest is "graduating" pre-school and off to kindergarten in September. I decided to commemorate these memorable occasions with a huge party this May. 

 

So you want to plan an over-the-top party for your little one. You can do it yourself and stress about every little detail or you can give us a call. We, Petite Seats, will be launching a petite event planning/styling division in the spring. We call it Petite Konfetti. Be on the look out for announcements.

The first step in planning is doing research for design ideas... enter Pinterest. Once you have solidified your design choices then it's time to make the guest list. 

 

Once the guest list and decor is set, finding and securing a venue that complements your design is critical. Set a date. Now shop around for vendors.

 

With the advent of Instagram, finding vendors is a lot easier. Examples of their work and client reviews are all in one place. For my little ones event I reached out to several of my favorite bakers, prop creators, stationery designers, and venues to receive quotes. For each category of vendor I created a mood board of the items I wanted included in a quote. Below are a few of my boards (images where taken from all over the web-- if you are interested in a specific picture leave a comment and I will send you the source).

Will definitely need two cakes and I love both these designs.

All in all it's a tedious process and once the numbers roll in you have to decide how to maximize your budget to include all the elements of your design without breaking the bank.  I will post updates of each of the design elements as I secure them. Until next time...

Zhuri Nova is 1!

We had the pleasure of providing our mini ghost chairs for a party that could only be described as magical! Tricia Smith Brown, along with her team, produced an over-the-top first birthday extravaganza for the princess of the King of Basketball and his lovely wife, LeBron and Savannah James. The party was under a pink draped tent complete with pink carpet. The theme, "You Must Be My Lucky Star", was outfitted with celestial symbols and a soft girlie colorscape of metallics, blush, and pinks. Check out the awesomeness below.

 

The amazingly beautiful flowers were created by Hens and Chicks Designs based out of Pittsburgh, PA.

Our mini ghost chairs with a custom vinyl decal were the perfect complement for the custom rose and blush sequins linen from the Fininshing Touch in Hicksville, NY. Yes, those three little tables in the foreground of the top picture are the kids tablescape.😗

Londyn is One: Stationery

When the decision was made to start Petite Seats, I decided event planning would be a thing of the past and my free time would be devoted only to a rental company. Well fast forward to the present . . . I am planning events. Not just any events, but specifically over-the-top kids party. I fell in love with planning kids birthday parties last January when I produced a Safari themed 5th birthday extravaganza. I'm actively planning a super cute ombre infused, pink Union Jack, first birthday fete for a precious little girl named Londyn. The big event is next weekend and I wanted to share several aspect of the party with our blog readers. First up is the stationery suite designed by the amazingly talented Vannesa, of Vanessa Grant Events.

We had the chance to work with Natasha of the Flair Factor to implement her daughter's 2nd birthday party. Let me just say Natasha outdid her self with this design and all of the personalized and custom elements. It was over-the-top and just right for posh tots.

Natasha was searching for many weeks for the perfect chandelier to use as an overhang for the children's table. She discovered the perfect one on Craigslist. She spray painted and decorated it with pearl strands. Super chic!
