If you love all things PINK and shabby chic, get ready to swoon over this ridiculously cute VINTAGE PINK ELEPHANT Birthday Party by Lyndsey of LuLu’s!

There’s such a sweet, feminine vibe to all the details in this pretty party – from the lovely, mostly-pink color palette accented with fun pops of peach and seafoam green – to the frilly custom paper birthday hats and cupcake toppers. I’m especially loving the twine & lace embellished soda bottles and vintage fabric and lace canopy – not to mention the perfectly coordinating outfit on the darling birthday girl herself! ;) This would also be a lovely theme for a baby shower, (which is actually the original intended use of the cute elephant printables by Lulu’s).

PARTY DETAILS, as told by Lyndsey

“I’m excited to share these photos of a recent party design. I was asked by a client to take one of our baby shower packages and turn it into a birthday party that was shabby chic and vintage. There was only one stipulation, it had to be PINK! So, with that in mind, we set up our small dessert bar on an old dresser and an old Singer sewing machine whose drawers had been sealed for over 25 years! We used yards of vintage patterned fabrics and lace (in a custom canopy), poured out vintage spoils of thread (from the Singer), and used old suitcases and train cases.

We kept the foods simple with:

  • Rosy Rice Crispies
  • Painted Pink Popcorn
  • Flushed Fortune Cookies
  • Custom Elephant Cookies
  • Rolled Pastries

Lastly, we added the oversized balloons for a touch of retro.”

    We absolutely love the pink vibe for the first birthday party. The photography and caterer and planner put their heart into making this pink theme work.

    This is all so sweet…the little favors in the cello bags with the elephant labels are great! I must say I also like the pink popcorn balls. Very nice job.

    Love this idea and the colors! My friend is having a 2nd birthday party for her daughter and these colors look great! I’ll just have to see if http://www.overthetopballoons.com/ has the colors I want for my balloon decorations!

    Looks fantastic! Would love to be that creative when planning a party. Will definitely have to keep these ideas in mind. By the way, the serving dish you have the elephant cookies in looks acacia wood! Is it? Love it. I work with Pacific Merchants and they have a gorgeous line of acacia servingware.

    I am doing a pink and gray elephant party for my daughter’s first birthday party. Could you tell me where you got the pink glitter skirt and the fabric canopy? Thanks in advance.
