Marquee letters, a macaron tower, and pretty pink blooms? Must be a very special day! For Noa’s Korean Dol and first birthday celebration, DIY extraordinaire mama Sarah really went all out. They set up shop at Pasaden’s Saladang Garden, and Erin J Saldana Photography captured all the adorable details.

Super cute. Love Mercat created the Doljabi sign (below), invites, and cake too!

Heidi Swapp was behind these girly letters.

How did we not do these for Valentine’s Day?!

The doljabi is a ritual where the birthday little chooses from the objects said to predict her future. Afterward, it’s time to feast…

Happy birthday Noa!
