This styled shoot is part of Confetti Fair's United States of Party collaboration; a collection of 23 unique parties and events – all inspired by a US location.

When you can’t get to Disneyland, just bring it to you! This mini Disneyland with all the favourites is definitely the happiest place to be!

What inspired you to choose Disneyland?

We wanted to recreate a mini Disneyland experience. We also wanted to find a venue with a blank canvas, which could be booked for children’s parties and show readers the possibilities of how a Disneyland inspired party could be recreated at the venue.

What influenced the theme and styling?

Children love all the wonder and magic of Disney, so we were inspired by the happiest place on earth to create this party. We wanted to capture some of the most magical moments at Disneyland. This included singing and dancing in Main Street, playtime in Adventure Land, Mad Tea Party in Wonderland, Storytime at the Royal Hall and a Fairy-tale spa. One of the most exciting experiences at Disneyland is the interaction that children have with their favourite characters, so the themed lands were designed so the children could meet and share a magical moment with their favourite characters.

Which DIYs or party trends did you incorporate into your shoot?

A current trend in children’s parties is the designated interactive play area. We created an interactive play area in Adventure Land with play equipment form Perth Toy Hire, which we named after Disney Rides and attractions and this area was hosted by the Cowboy and Cowgirl to keep the children entertained. In Wonderland, we created the Mad Tea party where guests got to enjoy custom mini personalised treats of doughnuts, tarts and cakes. We also had custom Disneyland inspired autograph books and passports. The children could give these books to their favourite characters to write a message on, and receive a stamp at each land they visited.

What is your favourite thing about the USA?

It’s bright, bold and colourful with a diversity of culture and history. It’s full of different experiences, from LA Street Food Fest (food truck festivals), Mardi Gras in New Orleans, mountains in Montana, shopping in New York or the gorgeous towns that are straight from Hallmark movies. It’s great how they bring to life holidays like the 4th of July, Halloween and Christmas. The themes, the lights, the props, the Christmas trees, parades, the homes, shopfront windows and the food.
