Max's first Birthday

Planning my Son's first Birthday Party was so much fun, I have been wanting to host a kids party forever - so I could'nt wait to start planning! Since Max loves being outside & his bedroom has a nature theme,I decided to go with a Magical Garden Party - I thought Enchanted sounded a bit too girly!
The colour palette was red & white and had lots of toadstools & garden/woodland critters.
The dessert table had a brush fencing screen backdrop that I put leaves into and had red & white bunting. I also make a cute little 'tree' out of painted branches with flowers, leaves, lady bugs & butterflies stuck on, in a red painted pot for the main feature on the candy buffet table.
