One year ago, my best friend finally birthed the beautiful baby girl she had been wanting for a very long time. This year, Madeline turned ONE and we got to throw her a fabulous party! Elyse tossed around a few theme ideas and then came across a flower made of tissue paper and became… for lack of a better word, Obsessed! She made a few and wanted to use them to decorate Madeline’s birthday party, and then I went over and helped her make about ten flowers, and then I went home. Elyse, however, continued making flowers until she had bought out the entire stock of tissue paper at her local craft store. I wonder if she ever counted how many she made. I would guess the number is somewhere close to 902. I dunno. Anyway. The flowers became the party theme and since the party would be attended by only four children, we decided to just go totally fancy and have a tea party. Although I guess we didn’t serve any tea. We had tea-party-style foods, flowers everywhere, super darling photos of the birthday girl, and a pink cake!
Go learn how to make these pretty paper flowers from Elyse and check out more party details. Abby and Katie got to take home a few flowers each and we immediately hung them on their bedroom walls. So pretty!
