Elegant Equestrian Themed Party

August 30, 2011 By admin

I came across this equestrian themed Bat Mitzvah on The Martha Blog and was so impressed by so many of the details! Guests were greeted by amazing horses that were covered with moss, stone and flowers AND the hoofs were adorned with diamonds. I LOVE how the bar table was decorated with equestrian trophies made with flowers. The “flower arrangements” on the kids dining tables were made from green gummy rings, bubble gum and other candy. One of my favorite elements is that the favor bags were made to look like feed bags.

What a wonderful celebration this must have been!

Pinatas have become a tradition at my children’s birthday parties. They love them and all of their friends always look forward to them too. There are great ideas for pinatas other than just the standard traditional one.

These mini pinatas from One Charming Party are a great idea for party favors or a small celebration.

Here is a great idea for the summer heat! What about a water pinata?!?!

I love these mini pinatas from The Sweetest Occasion that were placed on each place setting for a wedding dinner.
