Yahoo Emmalyn's Two

Kellie and I had the pleasure of helping plan and create one of our good friends daughter's 2nd birthday party! Emmalyn just loves Toy Story, specifically Jessie! So a Jessie inspired party it was, with a palette of black, red and yellow! If you follow us you know we love to work with soft, delicate colors but we were excited to try our hand at something a little bit out of our style element! We started by doing a custom "Jessie inspired" illustration...a little cowgirl with braids, freckles, cow-patterned chaps and red boots holding a cupcake with two candles and glittered her up! We found some cow print fabric to cover the sweet table with and covered that with a red burlap runner! We hung a "Sweet Saloon" letter garland across the table. Behind the table we used two poles to hang three bandanna buntings with burlap ribbon and above the table hung 3 red and white bandana patterned lanterns. To add to the western theme, we used bails of hay to create some height they also doubled as pedestals for some of the sweets! We set clear trays on them and filled them with chocolate brownie pops with glittered chocolate stars, sugary, star shortbread cookies. We filled a candy jar with caramel corn and used a galvanized three-tiered cupcake stand to hold chocolate chip cupcakes and s’mores pops! We also created a mini ruffle cake to be used as Emmalyn's smash cake complete with an oversized cupcake topper! We made hand-glittered labels for all of the sweets and ruffled cupcake flags to top the cupcakes! Each guest was greeted with a cowboy hat and bandana to put on as they came into the party and left with a little chocolate boot with tags matching the invitation. It was such a beautiful day outside, the kids had such a great time and it was so sweet listening to Emmalyn say "Yahoo, Happy To Me"!
