Attention 2 Detail: Whale Themed Birthday

You might have stumbled upon a few of these pictures yesterday if you had been visiting a little site know as Amy Atlas. Yep, that's right...we were featured on her site yesterday! (Eeek, pinch me!) And now I get to share some more fun pics and details with you guys!

This shoot was for a little boy's 4th birthday party. I wanted to have a theme that worked well for summer yet still had a strong boy feeling so I decided upon a "Whale of a Tale" themed birthday with a bright green and navy blue color palette.

I styled a dessert table featuring mini blueberry pies, caramel squares, rock candy, dipped marshmallows, custom sugar cookies, cake truffles, chocolate covered apples (I find caramel too sticky for little kids!), chocolate dipped oreo's, and a custom plaid birthday cake, with blue and green layers nestled inside. To create the backdrop for the dessert table I used netting and paper pinwheels to add a cute whimsical touch.

For lunch, I created a fun under the sea themed plate with peanut butter and jelly whale shaped sandwich cut-outs, blueberry air bubbles, and macaroni and cheese sand. How fun!

Fun beach themed tables, with blue and white striped beach towels used as the table linens and mini green beach umbrellas dotted the lawn area. Under the sea themed flower arrangements nestled in sand with blue marble "shells", dotted blue plates, and mini blue cups covered the tables. I also created whale shaped napkins at each setting. Instead of using chairs I wanted to do something different so I used bright green pillows on the lawn as a fun, and comfy alternative for the little party guests.

The invitation was nestled in a bright blue box, tied with green and blue polka dotted ribbon. The invite, once opened, revealed a fun "sand box" with a few sea shells.

Such a fun shoot and playing with our adorable little model Treyce wasn't a bad way to spend our day either!
