First Year Around the Sun Birthday
I honestly love every party I do.
More than expressing my style, I welcome the challenge to take someone’s vision and turn it into reality.
Sometimes though, I get a client who wants to try something that I’ve been eager to do and that’s so fun!
This is what I live for LOL
Meet my dear client Jennie and her son Lorenzo!
She’s a beautiful mom of 2 (one son and one daughter). I had the pleasure of meeting this amazing family when I decorated for their mother’s 50th birthday. Details of this lovely party another day.
The concept & color palette
His mom had the sweetest idea for a “first trip around the sun” theme.
Check out the invitation she made!
For Lorenzo’s birthday, she wanted a painted backdrop that reflected the invitation.
It was minimal, abstract, with a hint of boho. Everything that I love!
Here is the painting in progress
We were going for a more brushed and textured look. Notice the beige half circle? Such cute detail.
Finishing Touches
To add some boho flair, I added some pampas grass in a taupe vase. I also placed a couple of palm fronds in a terracotta vase that I painted.
Add in a vintage highchair… and done!
Check out the birthday boy!
How cute are the photos! Guess who took them?
Me! One thing that I have been doing for my clients is to simply bring my camera.
I’ve been trying to learn over the past few years. Do you want to to know why? I guess it boils down to 2 things:
There is nothing worse than creating a beautiful party and having no photos of it (so sad)
I’m also a mom. Since I take a billion pictures anyway, why not amp my game?
So if I ever do a party, I always take pleasure in bringing my camera and perfecting that craft. Why not bless my clients in that process?
A mother’s love
Jennie on having baby # 2
“ I spent my whole pregnancy with Lorenzo afraid I wasn’t going to be able to love him and his big sister. As soon as he was born it was like the grace I needed filled my heart and expanded my capacity to love. Not taking love away from my first born but added to love and raise them both. ”
Celebrating the first birthday for baby #2 is such a milestone.
