A Third Birthday Party To Remember! Dinosaur Theme
Roaring Fun With The Little Ones
The gorgeous balloons were styled by Alana herself. Such a stunning organic balloon garland to complement the theming.
A sunny, yet slightly windy, picture perfect Winter’s Day, on August 10th, was a very special birthday party for the gorgeous Hudson, the son of Grounded Picnics Owner, Alana Palaziol.
The day was filled with lots of gorgeous laughter, delicious food and the most amazing party theming! (Most definitely the most amazing birthday party I have been to for the kids, hubby also agreed, and he is not one to usually admire theming. 🙂
Alana, one of Brisbane’s most sought-after pop-up picnic’s stylist’s, collaborated with some awesome local suppliers to bring together an incredible day, which featured all things, dinosaur. Little Hudson’s fave! If you are after styling for your little one’s birthday, Alana and the collaboration team can definitely help for Brisbane, local residents.

The incredible suppliers, included: –
The uber-talented, Ange and her team from 2chefsandacupcake, based in Brisbane’s Northside, created the gorgeous green dinosaur cake, (which was amazing btw and super tasty! – Yumo, may have snuck a second slice! :-), the matching green icing cupcakes, which were the perfect treat for the littlies and the dinosaur themed sugar cookies The most divine grazing platter was also created by Mel from Amazing Graze Brisbane, which had so much variety and was an absolute hit with the kids and the adults in attendance for the festivities. I loved the mix of healthy treats and delicious goodness, something for everyone!
The incredible grazing platter, by Amazing Graze, Brisbane – it was absolutely amazing and tasted fantastic!
Fire N Honey Images by the talented, Sarah Taylor was the beautiful photographer who captured the set-up of the day also. I have also worked with Sarah on three occasions now and she is simply awesome. So down to earth and very professional and punctual.
The pop-up picnic table featured gorgeous little place settings, complete with party treats for the roaring little dinosaur guests. Kids and adults could relax and unwind together colouring in and could take home their little artwork masterpiece.
The cake table was stunning and for me a big feature of the overall styling for the event. Everything tied in so perfectly. The personalised welcome sign at the front of the houre, placed on an easel, to the gorgeous cookie favour tags and little dinosaur framed signs, all looked fab!
The cake was incredible and was a hit with the little ones!
The kids were all in their element and being hosted at home, the comfortable seating for adults allowed the perfect space for the special gathering. The excited birthday boy was dressed as his favourite Superhero, Batman, and was soaking up every minute with his little friends and family.
Having used Grounded Picnics for over three events personally now and numerous collaborations, I cannot recommend Alana enough. (A five-star service all the way and if I could recommend her 6 stars, I most definitely would). She is so personalised and cares about all her clients, giving each and every one, the attention to detail that they deserve and helping put together an extra special occasion for her bookings and everyone to enjoy. Each event is completely boutique and offers his own personalisation and fun flair.
Alana always thinks of the perfect little touches to really personalise an event. As soon as party guests entered the birthday party, they were greeted with this gorgeous sign, which sat perfectly on the light timber easel.
Grounded Picnics offer a variety of styling packages for any occasions, and well as as a DIY option, which makes is a little bit more affordable.
Alana recommends that with every party event, choose your theme and makes a mood board from there.
“Pinterest is a great source of inspiration and I always work with any ideas that my clients have. Whether it’s a little one’s birthday, or a hen’s party for 20 women, we can tailor a package to suit the clients’ needs and offer an array of packages to suit all budget requirements.”
Bookings are filling up fast for the rest of the calendar year, with plenty more birthday celebrations, bridal showers and other memorable occasions to be celebrated.
The tee-pee was a really cute addition and was the place to be for the toddlers!
Pop-up picnics create such a relaxed, yet special atmosphere for any occasion and any age.
