The cutest little ballerina party

We were very excited to see the latest edition of the OH Baby magazine and check out the most adorable little ballerina party featuring lots of our products


Here's a few of the pics and links to the products so you can re-create the look at home:




How sweet are these Little Dancers party tiaras?!


Milk & cookies in style! 


A pretty healthy option


To see the full article check out issue 30 of OH Baby magazine or you can purchase just the article here: 

We love the Little Dancers products from Meri Meri and stock most of the range including the products featured above and lots of others, you can check it all out here: Little Dancers


One of our favourites is this adorable garland which is equally at home in a little girls bedroom as it is at a party
Another favourite is the ballerina theatre centrepiece which is a stunning addition to your party table 


For serving your drinks either use doilies & ribbon with plain bottles or how about our doily print bottles with paper straws:




Serve fruit cups & snacks our Sundays pink polka dot baking cups - they're great for single serve desserts & snacks as they're grease proof inside. 
Team with some wooden forks or the cute printed wooden spoons


The wooden cones are a great option for serving popcorn and we also stock the stands for easy presentation



And everything looks prettier with the addition of some doilies, we've got lots of designs and sizes to choose from. These frills & frostings doily sets are one of our favourites:
We've got some other pretty ideas over on our Ballerina party board on Pinterest and we did a Ballerina party blog post a few years ago with some more inspiration including some great cake ideas so pop back to that one too: For your little ballerina

Party deco trend: tassel garlands

One of our favourite party deco trends are paper tassel garlands ...
the soft, floaty look of a tissue paper tassel garlands can be a stylish addition to any celebration!

They are great used outdoors as they look especially lovely when the breeze catches them (check your weather forecast first though!)

Pretty to hang across a window

Or why not tie to your pinata for an extra slash of colour?

And don’t just save them for a party … pop one up in the kids rooms across a wall or hang from the ceiling

You can also use them with giant helium filled balloons, just knot each tassel to the string so they don't all slide to the bottom! or you can purchase pre-made balloon tassel tails

The balloon tails look great with pinatas too
