Vibrant Woodland Owl Birthday Party

This is an amazing Woodland Theme Owl Birthday party with lots of creative ideas that can inspire you for your next party. The Party Muse included all the great details for a three year old birthday party that complimented the theme.  The vines, mushrooms, pinecones, baskets, acorns, owl and other forest animals creates a whimsical air around.

That owl cake surrounded by it's forest friends in my opinion is the best part about the party. I love the owl's little hat! The second favorite is the color scheme of vibrant red, purple and green that goes perfectly with the browns used throughout. 

Other fantastic details are lace eyelet table cover, berry branches centerpieces, moss, signs and mushroom shaped lights that bring kids friendly elements to the party. For more pictures and information on the vendors go here.
