I was so thrilled when I found this submission all the way from the Philippines, in my “in” box this week. Anna hosted a 1st Birthday Party for her daughter Arie, that is so beautiful and elegant it would be wonderful for a baby shower as well. The photos are from Karen Ilagan Photography, who captured all the sweet details.
The scene is set at a botanical garden with lush greenery welcoming guests. Once inside, a long table is set with “Arie’s Year of Firsts” showcasing photos and memorabilia from the past year. The bird motif, flowers, and use of fabric create a stunning French Botanical feeling to the party.
Tabletops are simple but stunning with an eclectic mix of bottles and jars holding an array of flowers. Fabric strips adorn the backs of chairs and are seen throughout the party in swags, ties, and other decorative elements.
Below, you can see how the fabric was used to cover chipboard shapes (birds & owls) that were hanging on the note “tree.” It was also used to cover the children’s tables – a lovely touch!
And at the end of the day each child went home with a monogrammed bag.
There are so many take-away ideas from this stunning party: the “year of firsts” table, the beautifully covered kids tables, fabric covered chipboard shapes…
I hope you’ll incorporate some of these into your next party.
Thanks to Anna and Karen Ilagan Photography for sharing!
