real parties: vintage barbie

9.07.2010
Evelyn submitted this classic barbie party in celebration of her daughter Mackenzie's 6th birthday. It all started with a creative Barbie cake using an actual barbie doll for the body. The rest was inspired by the black & pink color scheme and vintage silhouette of barbie, which was incorporated in everything from the invites to the decor... even the birthday girl's t-shirt. You may recall I created a custom inspiration board for a barbie party some months back, and this party is the perfect compliment to the look I had in mind.

    The Barbie shirts are from illeanasBowtique.etsy.com

    The silhouette can be painted in black, bubble gum pink or hot pink and you can also have it personalized with child's name and age!
