Color Scheme & Amazing Decorations
Beauty and the Beast is colored beautifully in red, yellow and gold. Just like Princess Belle’s dress, pretty shades of yellow and gold the perfect way to decorate. If you’re looking for an affordable way to host a princes party, check out these fun tips!
Easily transform your themed party tablescape with a can of gold spray paint and up cycled mason jars or vases. Google search “Beauty and the Beast” for images and print to size. Frame these photos in gold vintage looking frames for a fun and beautiful touch to the table or overall decor.
If you have any old books laying around or have a chance to grab some for cheap from a second hand store, decorate the table with books stacked in varying heights. Belle loves to read, so books make perfect (and thrifty) decor!
Red Roses
Roses are essential because the story of Beauty and the Beast is centered on a single red rose. Pick up fresh flowers from the grocery store or purchase artificial ones from a craft store or the dollar store (if you’re on a tight budget). Place single roses in vases of varying heights.
I made an enchanted rose replica like in the movie by purchasing the glass dome top and wooden base from Hobby Lobby and then hot gluing a single rose stem inside. The whole project cost less than $20 and is the perfect centerpiece for a Beauty and the Beast princess part.
Plan the Perfect Tea Party
Create a “Be Our Guest” feel with a princess tea party. It’s so easy to find old tea sets at thrift stores. I have found countless sets for less than $1 each! Mix and match tea cups for a fun vintage feel. I also found an adorable Mrs Potts tea pot at Hobby Lobby last spring.
Other fun props for your tea party table include an old clock and candle holder to set the stage for a Beauty and the Beast Birthday tea party. These items based on favorite characters will add a magical touch to the tablescape.
Craft the perfect tea party menu with mini tea sandwiches (your daughter’s favorite just cut fancier), petit fours from the local bakery, fresh fruit (cut like strawberry roses) and an easy cheese and cracker platter. If you want to really impress your party guests, make brownie bites with a dollop of grey frosting on top. This recipe resembles the “Grey Stuff” that is served at the Be Our Guest Restaurant at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World.
If you have budget and space, set up an entire cake table filled with yummy treats. A Beauty and the Beast themed dessert table could include themed cookies, rose cake pops, scones, macarons, and other sweet treats. What better way to host a princess tea party than with delicious desserts for all to enjoy.
