Just divine! Wonderful arrangements and tones. Surf boards look stunning. We are heading into winter and you are heading into the surf! Feeling a little sulky!
So sweet! I love the colours, the cake and cookies look great, the whole setting looks so sweet <3
Love, Love, love the color combination and the flow of it throughout the little touches. It truly looks like a fun kids party! Plus love seeing little surfer theme for a girl!
What a beautiful party! I love the candy in colored jars, the polka dot straws, and the cake is wonderful! Amazing job on this!
This is definitely my favorite ! I love the creative use of the mason jars , too cute !

Love how you have made a not so girly theme look beautiful.
Love love love!
I LOVE this party – something a bit different and the styling and sweet treats are AMAZING!! Well done to everyone involved
xx
I love this theme. Although it incorporates so many aspects that are very much in vogue now, the theme itself, especially for a little girl, is very different and refreshing.
I would I’ve something like this for my children.
They are all amazing, but this is my favorite! I just love the colors and the cake!
Love the colours. The little jelly jars are very sweet.
I have such a soft spot for the beach and I adore these bright gorgeous colours. Always a fan of Leanne’s style 🙂 xx
For an Aussie party this has to be the best- it just captures the summer down under!!!
Love this vintage surf theme!! I just had a similar themed party for my little four year old blonde beach baby!! We had a similar colors with a cute Volkswagen bus and surfboard with cupcakes made of piña colada cupcakes with the matching themed toppers. Grass skirts for the table decor and pink leis were given to the girls. Colorful beach buckets with sand toys and beach related stickers for decorating. My favorite though was the flip flop and the seahorse pinatas!! So since I’m still thinking about our beach party this is my favorite! Ps love the tomcat studio and your beautiful family!!
FANTASTIC!!! the colours are amazing and the cake!!!!! OMG!!! so bright and beautiful. I want the jelly now!! THIS MUST WIN!!!
This is my favoite. Love the setting and layout.
This is definitely my fave party. Let me explain why. It encapsulates an important and significant part of Australian popular surf culture and Australian surfing history. For many Aussies living near Australia’s beautiful beaches (and about 2/3rds of Aussies choose to live near the coast) they can definitely relate to the surfboard imagery and the use of the muted yet retro colours. This party looks real and understated but elegant – Aussies are not over the top people and we generally don’t take ourselves too seriously, so this is perfect. Besides which I am a huge fan of Leanne! Jane xx
What a special party and Love, Love all the details! Really Beautiful and creative!
Love this! Great ideas. The whole theme flowed and the colors used were great.
I am not usually a fan of surf ‘looks’ but the vintage colours and styling is gorgeous!

Amazing Leanne. As usual so simple and effective. I love the colours and the whole setup.
