Children’s birthday parties tend to be fairly low key over here in New Zealand so when I came across this site I was amazed at the beautiful events that people were creating. I decided that our first child’s first birthday was definately an occasion worth going all out for!

The light pink, hot pink and green colors were a perfect combo for my daughter’s bright and cheery back yard birthday party. Large paper pinwheels lined the perimeter of the house and guided you into the party, small homemade paper pinwheels hung from the trees and bushes, different sized pinwheels where placed throughout the garden spinned in the breeze. The gazebo was decorated with pink and green paper lanterns and lots of pink and green pillows were placed along the benches for guests to sit comfortably. A wishing tree was covered with little tags for guests to write a special note for Katelyn to read on a future birthday. Kissing balls lined the lawn, decorated with matching pink and green ribbon. Paper pom poms hung above the food and dessert tables in matching colors. My daughter wore a pink tutu with polka dot leggings and my son, husband and I were dressed to match. I chose a modern pinwheel design for her invitations, goodie bags and drink cups. I kept to a simple menu of hot dogs and veggie dogs with all of the fixings, 2 kinds of salads, chips & dip, individual strawberry yogurt parfaits topped with sugar flowers and popcorn served in specially made treat cups. The kids enjoyed pink lemonade and 3 kinds of flavored milk which I served in cute pink carafes. I also served pink sparkling wine in plastic flutes with matching name tags. I had the most fun styling the desert table — matching cake pops stood in white ceramic planters with faux grass to look like flowers, surrounded by cupcakes topped with edible wafer pinwheels and pink and green chocolate dipped Oreos . Glass jars and tin buckets were filled with pink and green colored candy. Favors were pinwheel sippy cups and large pinwheel s tied together with ribbon. The highlight of the party was the exotic bird show which was set up in a separate area of the yard complete with a matching “bird show” sign as a back drop. Kids tables had activities set up, including make your own pinwheels.

I had almost no time to prepare for my daughter’s first birthday and I did not want to spend a lot of money. I organized a cake and sweets party and invited a few friends and neighbors. I took a couple of super easy DIY projects and I did almost everything with a pack of colored paper and tissue paper.

My clients child loved the zoo, so what better way to bring the zoo to him by having a jungle theme birthday. I had such fun getting to use all great color schemes and creating a magical event for the kids.

Welcome to Liesl’s Butterfly Garden! This is the first birthday party I created with lots of love, sweat, and sleepless nights for the littlest love of my life :)

To celebrate my daughter Harper turning one I created this Vintage Schoolhouse inspired 1st Birthday Party! I made all of the dessert table treats which included a Rose Cake, Pencil Cake Pops, Cake Balls, ABC Squares and lots more ;) I created the look and feel that I wanted by mixing vintage items and serving pieces throughout the party.
