PARTY DETAILS, as told by Jill

  • This California couple wanted to create a fun, colorful beach vibe for an adorable 1st birthday and enlisted Allison Noelle Events for help with design and styling.
  • Dad, an avid surfer, lined up his surfboards for a cool party backdrop.
  • Isari Flower Studio created vibrant and youthful arrangements by mixing orange orchids, garden roses, dahlias, berries and echinacea with complementing aqua gems and fun beach accents.
  • Dad’s favorite beverage, Saint Archer beer, kept the adults’ thirst quenched.
  • Baby Jack’s highchair was decked out with a board short banner, providing the backdrop for digging into his Smash Cake, which was topped with a surfboard and goldfish.
  • BellaLuz Photography was the perfect pick to capture the fun and vibrancy of the moment.
  • Fishing net draped the dessert station, which featured beach-themed cookies resting on a plate of brown sugar “sand”, surfboard cupcakes to match the Smash Cake, and Goldfish marshmallow pops.
  • Kiddos were entertained with a sidewalk Chalk station, oversized beach balls, a mini bounce house, and butcher paper-covered tables topped with beach buckets of sand and crayons.
  • Guests took home beach pails with catch phrases “Hang Ten”, “Beach Babe” and “Surfs Up” stuffed with goodies.
  • The highlight of the party: A 10-foot tall custom made shark photo booth that provided a fun spot for everyone to stop and snap a few shots of the day.
