Olivia Fairy Party

So the party is over. We had a lovely time even with the rain changing our plans.
Along the driveway were the  decorated  8 posts that my son had found.
We had 3 different colors of ribbon to attach to each








Next  was a large poster that Olivias Mum Emma had made of her  favorite  drawings




We had 2 gazebos set up to give access to the party room.
We couldn't put up the curtains as we had planned ( see previous post) but we just added  lots  more of the ribbons and flowers around .I think it worked just as well .
I made the fabric roses, the buntings and  fairy wands.

 Inside the room we had aprox 50 balloons suspended from the ceiling which gave a lovely party feel,
They were put up by a team effort and  the girls loved been taken thru them.  






Due to the weather the mushroom stools got put in the party room and the girls enjoyed their tea party on them


  


 
  

Lily and  Olivia  looked lovely in their outfits. They had felt wings domed to the back of their suits and I had made felt flowers to decorate them.
I also had spare roses that could be domed to their suits if they wanted to take the wings of .I was very pleased with the effect. I  also had  bells hanging  of pieces of ribbon  because of a poem that I had found 



 

"If one can hear the sound of bells tinkling or branches rustling when the winds are still,or wings beating when there are no birds about,that means a fairy is in the vicinity. "

Their suits had 3 hearts appliqued on  and  their skirts were 4 layers of lilac and  white soft tulle . Olivia loved her  ring of flowers on her head.


I also made crowns out of felt with the flowers on them , my niece Kaylee fell in love with them and  took them home.

 On the buffet table we had beef, lasagna , potato bake and salads. For the kids (and  big kids) there was corn tartlets, little sausages and of course fairy bread

For the desert table we had the birthday cake , Cassie made a yoghurt cake ,Emma made banana bread as it is a favorite of the birthday girl We also had  pink and  green jelly cups and fairy cakes . I think it was a good spread

Overall we had a great time with family and  friends . I loved the preparation we did and the fact that a lot of what we did was from recycled material.Thank you also Cassie for the photos.

We are looking forward to planning next years party.


Post note : looking back at this post 3 years  later I still remember the pleasure this family had giving Olivia a very special family event , Love you Olivia from Granny
