Another birthday party has come and gone! Took another trip around the sun. One day it’ll be my kids that I throw elaborate parties for but until then, I’ll take any excuse to host guests! I truly love dreaming up ideas, especially for events, & seeing them come to life - It’s so fun to me! This weekend I hosted some of my closest girlfriends at my house to help me celebrate turning 26 (a week early). I mixed a winter wonderland theme with an indoor boho picnic and it turned out so dreamy! The party was complete with a grazing table, delicious cake, amazing florals, custom cookies & an espresso martini bar. We obviously had the picnic indoors since it’s January and pretty darn cold outside. I used Fresco Picnic Company for the event and I highly recommend them! You can find their website here and you can check out another beautiful event they hosted for me here.

Today I wanted to share a few highlights from our perfect afternoon, which are a mix of iPhone photos & professional ones shot by my talented blog intern Evie!

Enjoy the beautiful moments captured!
