Barbie 50th Anniversary

BED: Barbie’s 50th Birthday Bash

Today’s beautiful event design will go to the team involved with creating Barbie’s 50th Birthday Bash in Malibu.

From looking at the pictures on blog, Hostess with the Mostess and other sources, I can’t begin to tell you about all the fabulous details, colours, event ideas and food that went into the Mattel sponsored Barbie 50th birthday/anniversary party bash that was held at the Malibu mansion, but I will give you a brief synopsis:

Event Planner: The magical and world renowned, Colin Cowie

Interior Designer: Home accessory style maker, Jonathan Adler

Key Event Ideas/Take-Aways:

1. Colour Theme: Pink, White and Black- repeated throughout the entire event in areas of interior decor, accessories, accents, food and beverages.

2. Love the dessert table- particularly the pink marshmallows, graham cracker trays and barbie chocolate to make smores.

3. Barbie Malibu Mansion living room chairs are adorned in some pretty funky looking graphics (looks like the many faces of Barbie)

4. Lighting- Lighting as a whole, can take an event to the next level (it can also have the opposite effect if done improperly). The Barbie event had beams light hitting everything that was pink to give a romantic pink effect to the entire scene. The lighting particulalry did wonders to all the fuscia elements on site.
