We had Emerson’s First Birthday Party this weekend, we had a blast and I can’t believe it has already come and gone! I wasn’t totally in the mood for planning a party this year which is odd because I LOVE to host and throw parties. I realized that it was because I just wasn’t coming up with the perfect theme! Once I landed on Boho Floral, the rest was history! Here are some pictures of all the special details! I linked everything below!
Darling, Today you are One Poster. When I saw this on etsy, I knew we needed it! The Garland/poster stand are hobby lobby! I couldn’t find the exact Poster Stand, but thought this one was super cute!
I just love this little drink area, the napkins are too cute, the gummies have alcohol(the adults needed something too! lol). The cocktail sign is old from target’s Dollar Spot! Pellegrino just matched the theme and was of course a hit. The letterboard is linked here, everyone needs one of these. I have used it for so many parties and just fun to change with the seasons! Oh, and you better believe the wine of choice was Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio and Some of my other favorite, Kim Crawford, Sauvignon Blanc!
The cookies are from my favorite local cookie baker, Sara’s Custom Cookies!
This super cute wall hanging I made with the help of my mom and grandma. I bought the ranunculus bouquets from afloral.com, tied them on the string and attached them to this branch from my grandparent’s yard! Super easy and makes such a statement.
As for Emme’s smash cake I am very proud of myself! I bought an $8 cake from jewel and asked them to leave it white. I added the flowers, eucalyptus leaves, and the One stick (didn’t make this) myself! A much cheaper option than the $50 cakes I was looking at. If you put your mind to it, you can do anything!
I Love this picture of Emme eating her cake and her big brother, Maxwell helping/eating her cake with her! My heart melted as this was happening.
I absolutely fell in love with the floral garlands I made for the balloons, it of course did not turn out exactly as expected but to be honest, party planning never does! You just have to roll with the punches and be creative! I bought peony garland, eucalyptus sprays, and some extra Hot pink peonies to add more color. All I used was floral tape to get it all to stay, floral tape is a must if working with real or fake flowers. I had never used it before, and it’s amazing!!! A real game changer. The balloons I ordered in advance because Party City doesn’t seem to offer any of the fun shapes. However, when Dusko went to pick them up, PC had popped a couple so we ended up with these random ones which actually turned out great! Oh, and don’t worry the helium balloons couldn’t hold the weight of the garland! lol, so I had to stick 3M hooks to my wall. So basically, now I need to have someone come patch my walls…..eek!
Emerson’s adorable dress is from old navy! Get it before it’s gone because its on clearance!!! Her moccs are freshly picked, they are basically the only shoes that stay on her feet!!! Dusko and Maxwell’s shirts are also from old navy! Check out my top, my jeans, and my earrings! These earrings are the Lightest and cutest things ever!
I love me some flower crowns so I knew we had to incorp this somehow! These crowns were so cheap and turned out great! The gold crowns were super cool for the dudes too!
Here are some of the crowns in action!
Had to share how I decided to display Baby Girl’s month pics! Used this awesome printer that you can take any picture and print it as if it were a polaroid!!!
Here is a close up!
Last, this cake is seriously from Costco! If you have never tried their $18 cake, trust me and order it for your next party!!! You won’t regret it. It’s also HUGE! haha. The trick is, they sort of decorate them a bit cheesy, so I asked them to leave it white and write Happy Birthday on it. Then I got to do the rest! Turned out great for $18!
Hope you enjoyed looking at pictures of Emerson’s Special Day! I loved planning it and so happy with how it came together.
Have a great week!
XOXO,
Lissa
