When I was enlisted to help style a magical unicorn party for a sweet three year old little girl, my heart nearly skipped a beat! I have seen SO many variations of this party theme over the years, and I couldn’t wait to put my own spin on it.
Miss Kennedy’s wish for her birthday this year was to meet a real unicorn, and boy oh boy did the Brittany Gidley Photography team deliver. While the BGP team worked hard on securing the beautiful party venue at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens and finding a real unicorn (aka small horse with glitter hooves and a custom floral unicorn horn), I got to work on styling a sweets cart filled with an array of magical pastel rainbow treats.
Rather than including unicorns in the decor, instead I focused on selecting items that played off of pastel rainbow colors. Whenever I am challenged with making a character party or super popular theme look a little more stylish and sophisticated, I usually start by stripping away anything unnecessary. Then I hone in on a color palette and do my best to bring in the theme thoughtfully with accent props (or in this case a real unicorn!)
I knew I wanted a playful backdrop to break up the greenery at the garden, so I made a layered streamer backdrop. I am just loving this up and coming party trend to turn inexpensive crepe paper streamers into a beautiful statement piece.
Next up, I sourced the sweets for the display, which included a rainbow sprinkle cake from White Flower Cake Shoppe, pastel shimmer gumballs and sugar cookies in the shapes of hearts and rainbows by Itty Bitty Bakeshop. Other details on the cart included a Unicorn Rainbow Balloon Garland Kit by One Stylish Party and a few fresh peonies from a local grocery store.
I’m sure it goes without saying, but without a doubt, the best part of the day was seeing sweet Kennedy’s joyful personality shine through as she met the unicorn, tasted the sweets and ran through the fields with rainbow balloons floating behind her. What a magical day indeed!
