Real Party: Under the Sea

May 6, 2010 by Carrie Sellman

Today’s real party is sure to make a splash.  This charming Under the Sea party was created by Brandy over at Simply Creative Insanity for her daughter’s 6th birthday.  This turquoise and orange bash brings the sea to life in a fun and modern way.
Under the Sea Party in Turquoise & Orange

Under the Sea Party in Turquoise & Orange

I love the idea of doing an Under the Sea theme that is a little older and does not include Aerial.  The orange polka dots are a fun interpretation and add the perfect pop of color.  An adorable dessert table tops it off with cake, Rice Krispy treats, popcorn and marshmallows.  Here is a little of what Brandy had to say about this event.

“I started with the colors Turquoise and Orange. The colors were so fun to work with! The main table was decorated using simple patterns of polka dots and stripes. I thought the polka dots looked like bubbles. I cut large craft foam into fish shapes. Then I used turquoise and orange accents. White plates, orange napkins, and turquoise utensils set the table. I covered plain white cups in coordinating scrapbook paper and added the turquoise and white striped straws to top it off! I hung fish nets behind the table and made a fish banner.”

A very special thank you to Brandy for sharing her Under the Sea party with us! Be sure to check out her blog, Simply Creative Insanity, for more details from this party and many more!
