Family celebrations are my thing. I love to plan and host holidays parties and also milestones from family members. There is just something so festive and sentimental about each and every celebration. But how and where to start cause there are a million big and small things to do before. I love to lay out all the things I have gotten so far on the same table to see how they will go toghether. This gives an impression on what won´t work, what I still need and how much space it is taking up.

How I plan our family celebrations

Color Theme and Invitations

The first thing I start with is the color. For me it is always the color theme and then I build around it. For Emilia´s baptism it was totally clear to me that I wanted an all blush theme so I went and picked invitations and ideas for a cake in the colors I wanted it to be and got the rest from there.

For Helena´s baptism I wanted the majority of things to be in a gorgeous eucalyptus shade. I always loved the way this frosted green looked and now is finally the time I can use it for her big day.

The invitations are from kartenmacherei.de. I get all of our cards there. Our first Christmas card was printed by them as well as our wedding invitations and everything for following events. The quality and service is always perfect, the shipping is fast and the price is very reasonable for the gorgeous cards.

Table Setting and Decor

After that I start planning on the table scape / setting. For this event we don´t have a classical seating around our dinner table causer there will be too many people so I made the dinner table the main focus with the decor, the flowers and all the food. So for eating and drinking we are going to use bar tables all around the living room. Of course there will also be decor there but way less.

The cake is going to be the main attraction and from there I am building around with vases and beautiful flowers and candle holders. I love sequins so I got these emerald green table runner from etsy. They are a little darker than the actual colors I am using but they fit great. Having the cupcakes, napkins and cake equipment on one side and the etagere with little sandwiches and plates on the other.

Putting the drinks on a bart cart seperate from the dinner table was one of the best ideas cause it will be less crowded everywhere. I think I am adding a little hot chocolate station cause in the midst of November what hot drink could be more fitting.

So for backdrops I have had several things. From a tassel garland to a ballon arch to paper rosettes but the ballons are definitely my favorite.

With Halloween coming closer day by day and Emilia at an age where she is able to understand what happens I wanted to explain this festivity to her but since most of it are way to scary, bloddy or else I decided to go with a cute Halloween Tea Party appropriate for a toddler.

I have found this adorable childrens plate set on amazon and thought this would be a great starting point from where I can build up my Halloween Tea Party table setting. The cute colors hit the right spot as well since we are in a total pink and blush phase at the moment plus kittens are always a good choice with Emilia.

The coffee table was the perfect size for the set up. The right height and not to small or too big. To add some drama (cause I love a dramatic setting) I went with an all black sequin table cloth we also used for Emilia´s Minnie Mouse birthday party. Some other spooky elements I loved were the bat balloon, the little ghosts, the black candles and the adorable checkered pumpkin.

Are you celebrating Halloween with your little ones in any way ??

Our girl´s room was such a heartfelt project. I loved every second I spent planning, working and decorating in there always thinking how my two girls will grow up together in their beautiful shared room.

All of the decor pieces I put into the shelf are picked with a meaning behind. Most of them are from etsy. My number one online place for personalized and special pieces you won´t get at any other place.

Sentimental / Memorable Pieces

I am sentimental in every way. I look at certain pieces and pictures or clothes from my kids and get tears in my eyes immediately by remembering the special moments. They grow up so fast and I try to keep as much as possible cause time is truly a thief. I have kept almost all of the girls important and meaningful pieces from their birth like their hospital bands and first name tags.

Both of my girls have one of the shelves reserved for their things like personalized pieces and special gifts. Also pictures of them from their first weeks of life. I just can´t believe how little they once were.

Decorative Pieces to play with

These are the ones I incorporated throughout the whole shelf which are meant to play with but also have a decorative character like the wooden rainbow, the tea set or the Claris books. The tea set is Emilia´s favorite piece in her room. She loves to play picnic with her stuffed animals and her dad and this one comes in handy. It is ceramic but I told her to handle it carefully and so far she does. The Claris books are the cutest in my opinion, they work great as background for the shelves. The look-and-find books are the best to learn new words and things from the chic and fashionable world Claris lives in.

Storage

Hidden or decorative storage is a huge space saver cause it serves as two pieces in one. Baskets work always in your favor. First of all you can´t spot what it´s in there and second of all you can choose styles plus it won´t look less cluttered with baskets in a shelf. If your children are still little it is much easier for them to tidy up by themselves.

There are few things I enjoy as much as setting a table for a festive holiday dinner or for hosting our friends. It is always so much fun to choose a theme and color and work my way through. From placemats to napkins to candles and table decor.

For this years Fall table scape I went with a Golden Fall theme. Sunflowers!! To make the yellow really pop and set it apart I decided to go with a dark shade of blue and it turned out fabulous. My husband also liked it a lot and he usually doesn´t care too much abou these kinds of things.

The first piece I got was the yellow gingham table cloth. The perfect yellow and pattern to beginn with. After that I ordered plain napkins in yellow and got a huge bunch of sunflowers. The sunflowers are the center piece of the table so I worked my way around. The golden candle holder are a staple in our home and I used them all the time. 3 of them are on my sidebord as year round decor. I also have these in silver as well as black. In my opinion they are perfect for so many ocassions and the price point is amazing.

Now for the blue part I got these round woven placemats. I also like to mix and match patterns so I got these blue gingham plates for appetizers. They are a little smaller than your average plate and pop right out under the yellow napkin.

Also aren´t these glossy candles candles the prettiest you have ever seen ? They are super affordable and to way to amazing to burn down.

Are you hosting for Fall or at least for Thanksgiving or do you like being invited to eat?
