Peter Rabbit Birthday Photo Wall
This first birthday comes to a close with a cake smash in front of a Peter Rabbit inspired photo backdrop. Watching this little guy enjoy his cake smash will bring a smile to anyone’s face. The icing on the cake is his adorable outfit made by his grandmother. The garden crown was made by his mother, check out her felt Etsy Shop called Wool and Petal for baby banners and wall art. For such a momentous occasion like this first birthday its always great to give everyone a chance to make some memories and take some photos, especially at cake time. This photo wall was easy to make withcarrot fabric, and Peter Rabbit

Make Ahead Brunch Menu
Previously, I posted the decorations from the Galentine’s Day brunch I hosted to celebrate lady friendships. Today I want to share with you the easy make ahead menu to make things a little more stress free. In case you missed it, Galentine’s Day is February 13th according to Leslie Knope from the show Parks and Recs to celebrate the ladies in our lives. We celebrated a little late but there is never a bad time to celebrate friends or have brunch. There is also a great TedTalk on the importance of lady friendships between Jane Fona and Lily Tomlin that is just too funny.
This brunch menu was pretty simple and easy to make in advance so you can enjoy time with your guests. I like to make some items from scratch and buying others to make hosting easy. Here is the brunch menu breakdown:
Galentine’s Blush Pink Brunch Decorations
For any of you that have watched Parks and Recs, you may recall the episode about Galentine’s Day being February 13th to celebrate the ladies in your life. Here’s a clip of the show where Leslie describes what Galentine’s Day is all about.
Galentine’s day is the 13th which fell on a Monday this year, so I decided to host a late Galentine’s day Sunday Brunch with a neutral palette of creams and light pinks. The neutral blush decor with brunch would also work great for a bridal shower or baby shower as well. Here’s a break down of all the decorations for this day time get together.
Adventure Themed First Birthday
The adventure comes to an end as I share the last of this adorable adventure themed first birthday. The drink table had this beautiful framed art from the Etsy store Artsy Type Shop that really tied the theme together, how like many couples I’m sure, becoming parents has been this couples greatest adventure. This was hung with frame command strips to not damage the walls for this temporary art. Below shows photos if this little

1 Year Adventure Themed Birthday, The Table
I think first year birthdays are just the sweetest. You can have fun with some adorable themes, look back at how immensely little ones have grown, and watch their little fingers get into all that frosting on their cake. Close friends were celebrating their son’s first birthday (could he be an cuter), with a small family gathering that I offered to help put together the decorations for. Like most parents I’m sure, they felt their first year of parenthood and watching their son grow had been their greatest adventure and wanted to encourage their son to have many adventures of his own, so this became the theme. I loved the idea of adventure theme perfect for a little boy and it slowly evolved into encouraging all kinds of exploring from the world we live in, to imagination through books and reading. I want to share with you all the

Boho/Festival Themed Party
A friend and I had decided to host a 30th Birthday for a dear friend of ours this fall. After some thought and searching Pintrest I found a lot of photos and themes around Coachella and Boho style. Seeing as our friend at times can have a flower child vibe it was decided to throw a Boho/Festival themed gathering consisting of a low table and floor seating on serape rugs and pillows. After searching I came up with a few things that I thought would really add to the boho Coachella like theme:
