1st birthday modern Mexican fiesta

Jul 16

Morning, mamas! There’s nothing like a cutie fiesta 1^st birthday to kick our Mondays off right. Just so much cactus and rainbow goodness in this sweet party Dawn of Something Vintage Rentals hosted for her little dolly June at their new warehouse space, The Vault.

Super, super fun invites by Emily Baird Designs, calligraphed by Ink Letter Love.

Isn’t this space so neat? Would have allll the parties here!

On the design… For décor, we wanted to do something cheery and bright, so we centered the celebration around Mexican pom poms and cacti because that spells fun and June LOVES Mexican food, especially rice and black beans! As you can see, we put the pom poms everywhere to bring in the fiesta. For cacti that were baby-friendly, we worked with Hook & Yarn Designs to make crocheted cacti as favors for our guests. Desert 2 District created a cacti backdrop with her own handmade stamps. For the lounge furniture, we selected midcentury modern bright pieces for June to play on along with her own mini rattan chair.

These cookies from BellyWell Sweets are making our days, right here. So perfect!

And what a gorgeous cake from Fluffy Thoughts Cake.

For food, Eat & Smile Catering made a stylish Mexican feast in small bites fit for June and her tribe. Watermelon salad, chicken mini tacos, pulled pork tostadas, and heirloom tomatoes. Yum! For sweets, Belly Well Sweet made adorable fiesta cookies—cacti, llamas, piñatas and brightly colored 1s! Fluffy Thoughts Cake made the most festive bright cake and Junie just dug right in!
