First Birthday Party
2 Jan
Welcome to the new year. So far so good. Then again it’s only day two.
This was like so last year but I never did share pictures from this little girl’s birthday party I stiled. Remember the mood board?
How this works is, mom comes to me for ideas and tips, we either shop together or I specify where she can purchase items and then I come set it all up for her. Not a bad gig.
One of my specialties is color coordinating. I like using various colors so the overall scheme looks less one note.
I just took colors from the inspiration, the nursery wallpaper, and moved forward from there.
Mom was able to find a bakery that took the wallpaper pattern and recreated it on the cake.
The focal point was this gallery wall of Claire’s pictures through her first year. I used washi tape to hold them up and add a little more punch to the white backdrop. Also a personal touch.
Sweet and cute for an intimate first birthday.
Happy Wednesday!

Omg this is the sweetest thing ever. I love the colors! Bravo!!
such a sweet & perfect birthday for your little sweetpea! Happy new Year
so cute! that cake is amazeballs… do you happen to know what the bakery was?!
I think it was in Long Beach but I will confirm.
I showed this to Max and he says he can’t to see what you’ll come up with for his birthday!
Gahhhhh! I love it! My favorite parts are the cake and wasabi tape gallery wall. I’ve never even heard of wasabi tape. I don’t know what it is, but I like it!
Wasabi tape. You kill me.
Your color coordination skills blow. my. mind.
