A Modern Floral Under the Sea Birthday

August 4, 2020 · Leave a Comment

A Modern Floral Under the Sea Birthday | Dreamery Events

What is one of the most perfectly fitting summer birthday party themes? Why a pretty Under the Sea bash fit for any darling little Mermaid, that is! And this celebration filled with lovely florals in vintage containers and modern details was a quite a “fun splash” on this classic children’s birthday party theme. As someone who has a soft spot for mermaids, despite it’s popularity as a kids birthday party theme, it’s still one of those ideas that can be reinvented and done so uniquely each time. 

For Olivia’s 6th birthday we were inspired by this simple but florally lush and dainty “sea” themed birthday, particularly the statement centerpiece. We loved that a simple wood block with taper candles in varying heights and colors was the focal point, something you wouldn’t ever think for a mermaid or under the sea party, but it was the perfect unique and modern piece to compliment the under the sea details. Sit back and enjoy all the lovely pictures below…..

Each table featured a wood block with taper candles in different heights and complimenting pink shades. Floral centerpieces were nestled alongside the candles — a loose organic arrangement with gorgeous Quicksand Roses, darling little Spray Roses, fragrant Baby Blue Eucalyptus and foraged greens and fillers — in mismatched vintage coupes, bud vases and colored glass containers. I wanted to create something that felt natural, as if picked from a garden, a “sea” garden that is…you know something Little Mermaid would create and style with all her “thingamabobs” and “whatzits”.

And no under the sea mermaid party is complete without sea shells, and lots of them!! Atop pieces of fishing net and the loveliest green colored sea glass…the centerpieces felt like they belonged in a beautiful mer-people party!

To uphold safety measures due to Covid-19 tables were spaced out amongst the family’s large yard, creating two separate seating and eating areas underneath tents, with extra tables and chairs for guests to spread out. Cocktail tables were also placed for extra eating locations, as well as seating areas to lounge with distance. Wipes, hand sanitizer and mask stations were setup throughout the party area too. Guests were mostly all family and close friends, please keep in mind all safety measures if you choose to have an outdoor party during this time as this virus is still very much unpredictable. I shared more tips and advice for having a safe and intimate, yet distant, party at home here, please read and implement these safety precautions.

Are you in love with this dessert table styling? I’ll let you take another moment to take in all the beautiful details….

I told you I had a soft spot for mermaids and anything sea related, so when designing this I wanted to create something that was simple, effortlessly beautiful and natural, not something so “themey under the sea”, but that was of course still fun and playful for darling Olivia’s 6th birthday. 

That balloon Mermaid Tail display created by Life o’ the Party is a serious SHOWSTOPPER!! It totally made the party, the girls loved it and so did the mommas. The marquee letters spelling out the birthday girl’s name were another unique and fun touch. making the softness of the sheer draped linen and fishing net pop…..but so did the absolutely gorgeous cake and desserts made by CarSan Artisan Cakes!!

Every detail in the cake from the pretty pastels to the gilded shells and the delicate piped ruffles to resembles a mermaid’s scales, the adorable cookies and ice cream shaped cake pops decorated with even more under the sea details — were just amazing! These sweet treats would’ve been just as beautiful on their own, but a few extra florals and greens, colored sea glass, shells and starfish, aged woods, one of the most perfect air plants and oh yeah, the cutest jellyfish garland — certainly made this a wonder to see…

They painted their own sea shells and sand dollars, decorated mini treasure chests and cooled off “making waves” on the waterslide!! The ice cream truck made a pitstop later in the afternoon, giving everyone a yummy treat to cool off and enjoy before having more under the sea fun!

I love Lisboa in June🌿especially those early da I love Lisboa in June🌿especially those early days w. remnants of the previous month still lingering…
the fragrant & gorgeous Jacaranda trees lighting up cobblestone alleys lined w. pastel colored buildings, becoming more vibrant as Summer’s heat begins to near….
Walking along the Rio Tejo feeling so close to the sea but not quite there & the streets not yet crowded w. vacationers basking in the city’s delight … walking around Lisboa is certainly a creative treat!! I’d love to be able to squeeze in a little summer travel; change of scenery is always such an inspiration, especially when life seems a bit crazy these days. 

Any fun summer travels planned? Hope everyone enjoys the first weekend of summer🌼

how fleeting you have been sweet, darling June… how fleeting you have been
sweet, darling June…

it seems we’re all being kept too busy these days, I don’t want the simple treasures of this month to go by so quickly but it’s like I haven’t slowed down enough to catch my breath between events & to do’s — not since my birthday, these flowers & a cake I enjoyed making too much to photograph. They weren’t for my birthday, but for someone else’s, but it really was the joy of creating this arrangement however way the color yellow called to me, foraging for delicate peonies, garden roses & stems that would make these uniquely special🌿

Not the most picturesque photo of these beautiful florals (you can swipe for those), but I’m quite enamored w. this shot … perhaps it’s that gentle reminder to slow down & take note of the in-between…
