Party hats

This was a reptile-themed birthday for my son’s 4th birthday. I used the colors orange, green and blue with a touch of brown to help tie it all together. It was hosted at a science center near our home. 

Our baby turned 1 on June 25th and I, of course, went all out for the celebration!  My husband and I already owned a collection of red partyware so I decided that red had to be incorporated into his party. The whale inspiration came from a Pottery Barn Kids bedding collection that we almost selected for his nursery.  The stripe, gingham and polka dot patterns were inspired by a pennant bunting I saw on Etsy and many of the other details were inspired by ideas I found while poking around Pinterest!  {photo credit – Simply Mella Photography} 

We always love celebrating our children’s birthdays and making them feel special.  For Brody’s 1st birthday, we wanted a colorful and cheerful and fun environment for our very fun little man.  We wanted everything to be about him.  He isn’t old enough to choose a favorite color yet so we just picked the brightest and happiest colors we could since he is just the happiest little boy.
