My Birthday Party

For my 26th birthday party, I bought a helium tank, a million packs of balloons, and got crazy.


I made bunting from different patterned papers, and mixed it with strips of floral and striped fabric. I also made paper garland by folding pastel tissue paper into squares and cutting notches out of the endss.


Stripey straws and lemon peels for some fancy gin fizzes.
Four tiers, 12 layers, and one fantastic buttercream birthday cake.
In addition to vanilla cupcakes and the enormous cake, I also made lemon meringue tarts, raspberry macarons, chocolate macarons, and striped sugar cookies.






I wore a vintage dress found during a trip to Savannah, GA. I had to match the decorations!
