KNIGHTS & DRAGONS

BY CARLY STEVENSON FROM SASSY SNAPS PERTH

WHAT WAS YOUR INSPIRATION BEHIND THE STYLING FOR THIS PARTY SHOOT?

My son Noah is a little terror. He loves roaring at things and I didn’t want to do a dinosaur theme. I wanted to create something a bit more magical and decided dragons would be a very cool concept! It was a little hard to find inspo for this theme as it hasn’t been around much so I looked at prince themes, dinosaur themes and even fairy themes for some magical inspiration. Once our backdrop and cutouts were ordered we designed the rest of the party around these with the lovely blue and mint colour scheme. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE UNIQUE FEATURES OF THIS SETUP?

We worked with some amazing vendors once again to bring this together. Some of my favourite areas include the entrance which showcased a large castle prop with doorway cutout, our arches backdrop with flowers, balloons and even neon signage, and my kids especially enjoyed the ballpit setup from Fun HQ which included a slide to slide right into the fun! Born to Sparkle had a super cute play stand setup to dragon scale the kids in glitter and sparkles, while they also got to enjoy some bounce fun on White Castle’s castle bounce house. The 3 tier dragon cake by Silly Sugar was a huge hit and a real showpiece cake, I am still obsessing over. SHARE YOUR TOP TIPS FOR THOSE PLANNING CHILDREN’S PARTIES AND CELEBRATIONS.

For events with young kids I highly recommend sourcing entertainment or activities first and foremost. Slides, ballpits, soft play, bouncy castles, princess characters or some face painting fun are just some ideas to keep the little one’s occupied and having the party of a lifetime!
