Farm Stand Themed Birthday
/What a joyous occasion - celebrating a little one's very first trip around the sun! When tasked with creating a special and intimate gathering to mark this milestone, we couldn't wait to infuse the event with a sense of playful wonder.
The client shared that their darling babe adored water play and fresh veggies, which instantly sparked our imagination. A charming farm stand-inspired design was a natural fit, brimming with vibrant colors, interactive elements, and plenty of opportunities for hands-on fun.
The mini picnic table served as the dessert table and was filled with farm themed elements like honey jars, baskets of produce, wooden eggs, market scale, and seed packets.
We chose desserts that had a more rustic feel to them - mini pies from I Like Pie Bakeshop were placed in peat pots and given markers with the pie flavor. A semi naked carrot cake by one of the best in the SGV, The Shredded Carrot, was placed on the market scale and decorated with fresh blooms.
Handmade soft play felt veggies and fruits to inspire garden play. Potted basil gave Blake a responsibility to maintain and water with his personally branded watering can.
The main goal was to add elements that Blake could enjoy and play with long after the party was over. Seed packets, printed by Gen X Graphics, were given character traits for careers and was a fun moment to choose a future path.
Beautiful hand painted seed packet sugar cookies by Robbie Lynn were the perfect detail to complete the table. We added just a touch of florals, placed whimsically in a tin pail and rain boots.
And what's a party without balloons - Oh Shiny stepped in to give Blake a celebratory bouquet that was bright and happy - a great way to entertain and distract during Eileen Liu's engaging photo session with the family.
