Sweet Floral 1st Birthday Party

A first birthday party is a milestone in a child’s—and parent’s life—so what better way to celebrate than with a sweet, themed event? Simply Sera Events, photographed by Alissa Noelle Photography put together an incredible first birthday party in the motif of lovely floral design with a clean, shabby chic flair. Simplicity mixed with a crisp palate of colors really made this event something truly special and unforgettable.

While the décor was simple, attention to detail was absolutely perfection. Treats were aplenty, with dozens of delectable doughnuts stacked high on gleaming white and crystal pink serving towers. Menus for food were in ash gray frames, with a pretty gold font used throughout for all the signage at the party. White linen tablecloths and corresponding centerpieces of pastel-hued florals arranged in brass vases were a posh pop amongst all the delicious food and drink. The cake table itself was an old, repurposed ivory dresser, and behind it was the perfect backdrop of a shiplap wall. Gold and white roping and miniature wooden pallets made for great serving and accenting décor pieces, while small glass jars in different shapes were fantastic subtle additions for singular bright colored poppy flowers. Wall hangings adorned with simplistic greenery quoted in cursive gold letters sayings like, “With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair” were really spectacular in adding an overall whimsical feeling to the event, too.

Rustic silver pots with little bouquets of flowers were carefully pinned up along the back wall of a serving table, and an activity in which guests got to participate in creating flower crowns was a wonderful and unique idea that served both as something memorable and as a takeaway favor from the party. All in all, this event was streamlined into a crisp melody of colors and aesthetics, which made for a happy, bright atmosphere to celebrate.
