the birthday party

_MG_8322

first off let me personally apologize for the exuberance of birthday photos that is about to take place. i've just been so excited to share these with you and thanks to our brilliant friend and photographer hollie it was painstakingly hard to choose only a few photos!

i really wanted paisley's party to have a vintage mismatch feel. i decided not to pick out any specific colors to decorate with but to just keep it fun and eclectic with lot's of different patterns and textures. 

so let the birthday overload begin.

monogramed burlap favor bags filled with candy and handmade fabric garland.

i love these vintage jars and vases i thrifted and my husbands childhood clown bank.

the oversized round balloons made this party feel so special. i found them at the best price here
we hung thrifted frames to make a hanging frame "wall" from our tree.

who doesn't love mason jars? and accompanied by a stripey straw? jackpot. 
i got my straws here. they have every color you can imagine.

fruit and veggie kabbobs. i thought doing it this way might make the kids want to eat their healthies.

all of our friends were so generous and paisley was super blessed with many wonderful gifts. 
including her first pair of toms! yay!

we tried to take a nice family picture at the end of the day but paisley wasn't having it 
and i decided to stand super awesome awkward. 

all in all it was an amazing celebration!
