Let’s dive “under the sea” for Skylar’s second birthday! Kelly Catron, of Gigi Noelle Events, designed a Dreamy Pastel Mermaid Birthday Party for her water-lovin’ little one with the prettiest purple tutu, starfish wands, and whimsical florals… although the star of the party (besides the beautiful & bubbly birthday girl of course!) is that oh-so-lovely and sea-foam green dessert table!

PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:

• Mermaid and pearl studded lavender seashell cookies
• “Sebastian’s sandwiches” and veggie tray from Creative Catering
• Under the sea birthday cake + glittery “2” silhouette toppers in white, green & purple
• Polka dot octopus balloon + adorable ombre mermaid doll
• DIY bubble inspired “Skylar” banner, tissue tassel garland & chalkboard signs

PARTY DETAILS, as told by Kelly…

This year my sweet Skylar turned 2! What a year it has been….we choose the mermaid theme because our little “water bug” {my husband calls her that} loves to be outside and in the pool! We choose beautiful colors in shades of purples, greens and blues. All of the banner and decorations were handmade months before the actual party because with our crazy event schedule we could had never been able to wait!

We had actually planned a gorgeous outside party at home but with Tropical storm Ana around we revamped our plan and moved everything inside. Thank goodness my paint chooses matched her party… lol!

This year I wanted to begin a tradition with my daughter that she could carry on until she was married. We choose a simple Barbie doll that we could use each year with each theme. Then when it’s time for her bridal shower we can create a Bridal doll!

When we created the décor we even included the theme into the food. Working with Creative Catering they created, Sebastian’s Sandwiches, and a veggie tray look like a crab.

The biggest hit of the day was the balloon guy! Skylar loves balloons so watching him creating amazing things for the kids was really wonderful!

I always say to myself I’m just going to do something simple this year and my mother/business partner always says to me “How can you, this is your business!” So we start planning and designing early and when it’s all over we start preparing for the next… I’ve already got great ideas for the 3rd!
