Pittsburgh Event Planner | Harley’s Sweet 16

*Cue MTV’s My Super Sweet 16 theme song* SHE is taking you inside Harley’s Super Sweet & Lilac themed Sweet 16. This party was a blast to plan + a blast to attend. As soon as guests walked into the backyard of Harley’s family home, they saw the most amazing shades of purple balloon bunches spilling over the pergola + floating in the pool with gigantic foam letters spelling out the Birthday girl’s name. From the make your own taco spread to the custom juice boxes to the Cupcake ATM…yes, a real ATM for cupcakes…guests did not go hungry. With DJ Cake spinning hits throughout the night + guests sitting for a caricature that turned into a custom phone case there was something for everyone. Happy 16th Birthday Harley! SHE hopes this party was as sweet as you!

Pittsburgh Event Planner | Sienna + Amya's Mermaid Birthday Party

Sienna's 3rd birthday + Amya's 16th joint mermaid themed birthday party was out of this world...or should we say SEA! The party was held at the family home where the pool with floating balloon bubbles was a major hit with all of the young mermaids + mermen! Guests entered the party through a custom aquarium bursting with brightly colored, life like sea creatures such as an octopus, jelly fish + more all made out of balloons. Once down by the pool, a real life mermaid was waiting for the kids to teach them about life under the sea. The sea creatures didn't end at the aquarium, more of them made their way down by the bar where specialty aquamarine  cocktails were served. If guests wanted to escape the heat, they ventured inside to grab a mermaid fin cake pop, sea shell cookie or any of the other amazing desserts provided by Bella Christie + Lil Z's bake shop. Sienna + Amya's birthday party was Mer-tastic time + every kid went home with a goodie bag that reminded them just how Mer-mazing they really are. Scroll through the pictures below, taken by Caitlin Thomas Photography, for even more mer-mqzing details.
