Disney’s ‘The Nutcracker’ Movie Themed Party

Modeled after Disney’s The Nutcracker movie, this holiday party is full of sugar plum fairies, falling snowflakes, and sweets, all together in one giant winder wonderland! If you’re looking for the ultimate of Christmas party themes, look no further than The Nutcracker story. This one, in particular, features four magical realms, which Forrest & J and Archive Rentals teamed up to bring to life. And boy, did they do them justice! You will feel as though you are walking through the movie set as you wonder at all the beauty below…

Christmas party themes, the nutcracker story

Jenny at Forrest & J shares…

The Nutcracker has been a Christmas tradition in my family since I was a little girl. When Disney announced they would be making their own version of the childhood classic, I couldn’t wait to see! Every nuance from the ballet was heightened with Disney magic. The Four Realms – the new Nutcracker movie – was a new story not many of us have heard, as we follow the little girl Cara taking you through each enchanted land – The Land of Flowers, The Land of Snowflakes, The Land of Sugarplums, and the dreaded 4th Realm.

I have been a designer with Archive Rentals over the past couple years and always look to create content in their chic warehouse. After I saw the movie, I connected with Monique and Rochelle, the power house girl team behind the brand, and pitched the 4 Realm concept. We all got the Disney feels and started curating our team, some of my favorite tried and true friendor’s along with new friends I had been dying to work with over years!

Our concept was to capture the feeling as though you were behind the scenes of the ballet, as if hiding in the wings, watching the scenes unfold. The lighting feels a bit moody, which gives more mystery and depth to the shoot, playing off stage light. We really focused on 2 major realms for the kids feature, Sugarplum and Snowflake Land. All the little’s belong to the girls on team – Lauren, Archive’s Lead Stylist, has the 3 little blondies with the cutest names (Isla, Brixton, and Rivi) along with Creative Amme’s girly, Emma.  Of course, my Baby Bash had to make an appearance. With his teething tucked lip and all (what’s a mom to do?!).

Small details you’ll find from the movie if you look closely:
– The mystical key given to Cara on Christmas Eve from her Mother that unlocks the door to all the magical realms.
– Name tags tied with golden thread lead the Nutcracker children to follow the string and find their Christmas gifts at the end.
– Nutcracker characters from each realm turned into a stir stick created by the talented Creative Amme.
– Merry Merry Holiday houses fill the scene from Bonjour Fête nestled perfectly into the world of sweets that Diana from Sugar Crush perfectly custom designed and styled.
– A winter scene that doesn’t feel the least bit chilly hides clocks and nutcrackers on the mantle, playing off Disney’s grandfather clock which plays an important role in Cara’s time travel into the realms.  Inessa Nichols and her team warmed up the space with flocked branches, cotton ball stems, and rich anemones.
