{Real Party} Vintage 5th Birthday Party

Vintage Birthday Party 1

Do you love everything VINTAGE?  If so, you’re in for a spectacular 5th birthday party that was held here in St. Louis.  The fabulous designer behind this birthday party is Untamed Heart Photography who shares the love of all things vintage like I do.  Michelle wanted her daughter Stella to have a fun party where all of the girls felt like they were a part of a fun lunch tea party!   Punch was served in tea cups for each of the girls, and fun vintage containers and bunting surrounded the room to complete the vintage feel.

I love this series of the birthday girl Stella!  She had just seen her masterpiece of a cake from Whipt Cream, and was tickled pink!  Such a cutie!  And the cake was spectacular! They took fabric samples from the bunting that lined the walls and completely imitated it on the cake PERFECTLY!   Each guest left with a treat bag full of goodies and were treated to chocolate dipped marshmallows, cake pops, and mini sandwiches during the party.

Macaroons were made by Whipt Cream to match the pale pastel colors of the tea party.  I love when guests come matching the party as well, as the girl in the pastel purple hat did!  Tea parties are a great theme and this takes the pretend tea parties to a complete adult feel for each of these girls.
