Monday Moodboards
One party idea a week, worked out down to the cake and the napkins. Take it exactly as it is, or keep the colors and change everything else.
These boards are ideas rather than photographs. The images show how a theme could look, not a party we have styled. Our real celebrations live in The Bubbly Files.

A bachelorette weekend in olive green and cream with gold, built round a martini bar, satin bows and an olive on anything that will hold one.

A dinosaur jungle first birthday for a sunny backyard in forest, sage and latte, with a life-size T-rex at the arch and a fossil dig crate waiting at every seat.

A bright backyard Halloween for little kids in pumpkin, lavender and cream with black accents, friendly ghosts, a balloon arch, pumpkin painting and a striped dessert cart.

A 50th in black, chrome and candlelight, with leopard and zebra used as upholstery, a ceiling of mirror balls and chrome spheres floating in the pool after dark.

A grown-up Halloween cocktail party at home after dark, in charcoal, oxblood and burnt amber. A chequerboard dance floor under mirror balls, and cheesecloth cobwebs on the grazing table.

A candlelit dinner party at home in espresso, blush and ivory: four cocktails, one grazing table, and enough taper candles that nobody reaches for the overhead lights.

A citrus baby shower under olive trees, built on real oranges, orange blossom and butter yellow balloons, with a jar of marmalade for every guest to carry home.

A garden baby shower built on real wildflowers, pastel glass and painted buttercream, in blush, sage and lilac, with a seed packet for every guest to take home.

A dinosaur dig birthday built in cut paper, raw wood and real ferns, where the fossils are cookies, the sand is real sand and there is not a plastic toy on the patio.

A loud, sweet, unapologetically pink first birthday built on a wall of red and blush balloons, a candy-pink kids' table and flat after flat of fresh strawberries.

A long grown-up lunch under an olive tree, where whole lemons and cut olive branches do all the decorating and nothing needed to be painted yellow.

A garden first birthday built at toddler height, with lavender draping knotted into the trees and a ruffled buttercream cake barely bigger than a dinner plate.
