Star Inspired Birthday on Hello Rascal Kids

Inspiration can strike at any time, just take a look at this gorgeous dessert table inspired by the song “Yellow” by Coldplay!

Ombre blues, grays, and golds provide a cool color scheme for Elliot’s 1st birthday.

The 1st birthday cake smash is a tradition we never get tired of seeing! Cute babies and sweet cake?

And of course, what would a birthday be without your family? Shine on little Star!

From Lilian Hsyu of Just Merried Events ~ “This was a very special party for Elliot and his family, not just because he was turning 1, but also because this was the first time they would celebrate with friends and family after making their big move home from Texas to California. Elliot's mom, Kelley, really wanted to throw a special celebration to commemorate their California homecoming and Elliot's birthday, but she was still in Texas trying to plan the party. She and I connected through a Pasadena moms group on Facebook, and I'm grateful she trusted me and my coordinator Alexis to do the legwork for her. We toured a few Pasadena venues for her and made vendor recommendations based on her preferences, style, and budget to keep her decision-making process easy. I'm so glad we brought on Caitlin Alohilani Photography to capture all the details + fun - I've come to realize that having a photographer who is great with kids is so important to getting adorable shots of the little ones!

Kelley really loved a star themed dessert table she found on Pinterest featuring lyrics from "Yellow" by Coldplay, so we built around those ideas to tie the details together. The dessert table backdrop was customized and built on site by Outsource It, and we added the lettering done by Letters to You for the final touch. The galaxy cake & stellar desserts by Janice Wong were the perfect touches for the dessert table. I especially love the little pillow fort we built using a play bed at Playlab - we turned it into a twinkling night sky with floating stars and clouds. My favorite detail was the favors kids got to take home - cotton tees that said 'Shine On" customized with each little guest's name on the back. I think the parents were happiest with the tacos made on site by Tacos al Gusto - OK, that wasn’t exactly a celestial theme, but you can't go wrong with having a taco cart!”
