Baby Girl’s First Birthday Party – A Vintage Floral Party
to be completely honest, i have been planning our baby girl’s first birthday party for a little longer than i care to admit. and a first birthday is truly more about celebrating an entire family and their first year together. it was important to me to make a big deal out of the day and that everything was just so. and the husband totally gave me total freedom to live out this dream, he truly is the best.

i have an aversion to all the loud character items that clog our world and i also have an aversion to themes. i honestly hate themes. i didn’t do a nursery theme and i didn’t want a party theme. when initially thinking of our baby girl’s first birthday party, my goals were to incorporate pink tones (and a super specific pink tone at that, because i like to make things difficult on myself) and soft florals. i knew i wanted a delicate vintage feel and an organic tone. being obsessed with the rifle paper co, i was giddy to find that they made a banner and, once seeing that the tones matched my vision, i decided to base the entire party around that banner.
if i am telling you the truth, i have been comparing and shopping for just the right party items for probably 4 months. i slowly began creating a pile of party decor in our spare bedroom and made it my goal to work on her party once a week. before long, our little weekly outings for party supplies turned into a nice little pile of fun for the big day.
Baby Girl’s First Birthday Party – A Vintage Floral Party
the moment everything was in place and i stood back to look at my months of checklists and work, i almost cried. celebrating our baby girl’s first birthday has been a milestone that i’ve been so excited for and i wanted it to be a day that everyone remembered. even more, it is a day that our friend’s and family celebrated us being parents for our first year. and celebrating the parents is so very appropriate, too.
i couldn’t begin to express how happy i am with the final outcome of our baby girls’ first birthday party. and a very big thank you to my mama for making the most beautiful cake and cupcakes and for helping me tackle my long birthday checklist on the big day.
without further ado, here is what our beautiful baby’s first birthday looked like in photographs. also, everyone adored her and her party.
