Be our guest...

Today on the blog, I'm sharing Bella's Beauty and the Beast birthday party. She loves the new Beauty and the Beast movie and it was her wish to have a party to match! Since Bella loves to dance too, I decided to base her party off the last scene of the new movie where everyone is dancing, lots of white, the ballroom is covered in flowers, chandeliers and touches of ornate gold moldings everywhere.

The entire party was DIY down to the invitations and dessert table. I've shared all the details at the end of this post below the photos.

Other items and details:

"A Tale as Old as Time" Sign - was a custom order here at the shop. They also did all my chandeliers. I cannot rave enough about this shop! Not only do they have THE most affordable prices, but they respond promptly and the shipping is so fast! My chandeliers are cardboard and the letters are plywood.
Desserts: macarons, cupcakes, cookies and cake was homemade and gluten and dairy free (minus the fondant). I linked everything that I used for the cupcakes and macarons above (including the edible gold) and will do a post soon on how I did everything gluten and dairy free. For the gold mirror and rose cupcakes, I used fondant and an ornate mold to create a mirror and sprinkled the gold dust on them. I let them sit out to get nice and had before placing them on the cupcake. Then placed the fondant rose in the middle.
Books: I got them at a used store and took the covers off.
Balloon Garland: DIY I purchased pink, white and gold confetti balloons. We blew up the pink and white balloons in large, medium and small sizes. We blew up the gold confetti balloons in a small size. I bought a large ribbon spool and cut 3-4" ribbons and tied one to each balloon. Then cut one very large ribbon (Leaving about 12" on each end to hang) and tied the balloons to the long ribbon alternating between sizes and colors. I used command hooks to hang the garland above the table.
