Miss Kyla, 6, was so excited about her first ever birthday party, so we really wanted to make it a very special celebration for her & her friends
Kyla loves kites so there began the theme for the soiree
Despite forecasts for rain we had the perfect autumn afternoon. Nestled under the shade of beautiful big trees at a local park, the sun was shining, the skies blue & most importantly, there was a breeze in the air
The beautiful & very excited guest of honor
The picnic setting of crisp white furniture, pretty lemons & pinks made a beautiful contrast against the vibrant green grass in the park
As guests arrived they set to creating beautiful artwork on kites - the client sourced these kits online - The girls had so much fun making them & the autumn breeze at the seaside park was ideal for flying them. The kites were the main activity of the party but also acted as a memento and thank you gift from Kyla to her friends

When I found this adorable buffet & old tea trolley at a local junk yard I just knew they would be perfect for this party....although they certainly didn't look this good until my handy husband spent hours stripping & repainting ...But I am so glad he did, they looked gorgeous!
Refreshments for both the children and their parents were
displayed until it was time to eat
Kyla & a number of her guests have food allergies. Her mum & I are also very "sugar high" conscious & decided against a range of sweet treats on this occasion. With this in mind we created a very simple but yummy afternoon tea for the girls to enjoy as they took a rest from flying kites, playing ring toss & having fun with hula hoops
A light snack of banana cupcakes, sweet homemade popcorn,
slinky apples & cool refreshing water
served under the shady trees topped off a perfect afternoon

Slinky apples are a great way to have fun with fruit!
{Fun, yummy, economical & healthy - perfect!}
Before long the girls were back out in the sun enjoying their perfect autumn afternoon
...and best of all....Kyla had a fantastic time with her friends celebrating her special day just the way she wanted to!
{A huge thank you to Jordan of Polkadot Prints for collaborating with me & designing the gorgeous printables for this event, & the ever talented Luke of Voice Photography for capturing such stunning images of the day}
'Til next time
Take care...but have fun doing it!!
