I posted pictures of Norah's party on facebook a while ago, but for those "party nerds" like me out there here they are again with the ooey-gooey details :)
The theme was "Breakfast at Norah's," loosely adapted from Audrey Hepburn's movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's." I wanted the capture a Parisian flare with bits of "Tiffany blue." But other than that, it has no real similarities with the movie :)
I had the invitation framed and set out all her monthly photoshoot sessions for display.
Party favors were simple little goodie-bags filled with candy.
I also strung up other pictures of Norah over the past 12 months for everyone to "oooh and aaah" over :)
The napkins were a great find! They were the last thing I bought and matched perfectly with everything else.
I made these adorable water labels, "Norah&Co." for drinks.
On to the food! These are fruit and creme puff skewers (Pinterest lovers will start to recognize a few of these).
Croissants with orange butter, nutella and strawberries n' cream for spreading
Homemade blueberry mini muffins
Lavash rolls and French macaroons
The infamous crepe cake! My mother (bless her soul) made crepes all.day.long in the various sizes for the perfect crepe cake!!!
There is this sweet little bakery near our house where I ordered Norah's cake. It was the prefect size for her to smash her little fists into and was super yummy too!
Here it all is folks! Month's of idea jotting and planning put into action!
Here's the birthday gal in her LBD!!!
We had over all Norah's little "friends" and played games in the backyard, opened presents and ate ourselves silly on all the yummy food. But if I had to guess her favorite part, it was probably her first taste of sugar!!! Yes, it was really the first time she had ANY sugar, chocolate or sweets in general. It was fun to watch her dig in, but I will still be pretty strict on the sugar in-take. I'm that mom :)
Yup. She liked it lol.
So the first birthday has come and gone! Everyone's telling me to have another one so I can start planning another 1st birthday....I think I'll just start planning the 2nd birthday ;)
