As someone who enjoys lots of simple, homemade touches in a party, I am absolutely loving this Pow-Wow Style Southwestern First Birthday. Mark Nabong of Mark William Photography photographed the party while the birthday boy’s mom, Holly, DIYed just about every cute thing you see. From the tee pee and ‘1’ sugar cookies, to hand painted terra cotta pot and figurine centerpieces, you’ll see why this little pow-wow makes me say “Wow.”

PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:

• Hand painted first year statistics sign + stamped feather party favor jars, filled with homemade crayons!
• Carrot cupcakes with feather toppers, a dream-catcher decorated tee pee & color blocked drift wood
• Peach and teal hand painted chevron striped tablecloth and napkin weight rocks (such a cute idea)
• The most adorable welcome sign and tribal-print outfit for the birthday boy (love those pants!)

PARTY DETAILS as told by Mark…

Jonas celebrated his first birthday with a southwestern themed pow-wow outfitted with his own little teepee! Set in their own backyard, his mother, Holly, decorated the party herself inspired with DIY details and decor that had a southwestern touch. Jonas’ friends enjoyed teepee shaped sugar cookies, trail mix snacks and carrot cupcakes. Feathers, moccasins, and miniature Indians, oh my! It turned out perfectly adorable for such an adorable birthday celebrant!
