When I found out I was pregnant with Collins Claire I was beyond shocked + surprised and secretly hoped she would be a baby girl! I always wished I had a sister so I was

so happy that my girls will have each other!

I knew I had to come up with a totally different yet still pink and girly design for a nursery!

I wanted an organic + earthy yet sweet + girly concept!

Our sweet Caroline Carlisle turned THREE in November

and her mama went all out for this one!

I had a bike parade when I turned 4 and remember

it being so fun so we played off that and I came up with

"CC's Day Parade"!

I may have gone a tad over the top but CC's first birthday was so rushed as we were in such a busy season with some big life events + a family wedding and her second was small since we had a 2 month old baby so I wasn't going to let another birthday pass without a big ole celebration!

From concept to execution this is by far my favorite event I've ever done!

We love hosting events at Stonebriar Country Club as it kinda just

feels like home for us. We adore the staff and the event coordinator,

Justin Lopez, has become a sweet friend + totally gets me! We love to

brainstorm together and take things right over the top!

We decided on a pipe and drape entry with ballon tie backs + props

from Stumps Party Supply which is my go to since its affordable and

takes everything to the next level!

We did all sequin linens from CV Linens which is our absolute favorite

linen company (I personally own gold, blush and red since I love them

so much!).

My darling friend, Jenn Lyons, owns Filled With Joy and she custom

made our Welcome sign (and does all our paper goods like thank you

tags, invitations, 'About Me' signs) and also helped me with getting

all the "Parade Floats" aka balloons I ordered off amazon.com (you can

shop my storefront here!)

filled + set up perfectly!

Now our first stop for guests was coffee + cocoa in Central Perk {a

nod to Friends, duh} where we brought in vintage furniture, rugs +

hedge wall from Beautiful Events Rentals.

We had statue of liberty hats, photo props, and gold balloons to tie

everything together and keep guests entertained until

"CC's DayParade"!

Now for the parade, I called up an old friend (Hi Morgan!) who happens

to be the former cheer coach at Eli's school and asked to hire the

cheer captains!

Then I called our friend Paul from B3 Entertainment who we have worked

with for years and told him we needed a unicyclist, drummer, and

specifically a ballerina stilt walker per the birthday girls request!

I ordered the float kit from Stump Party Supply and our sweet daddy

and uncles spent hours building our girl the perfect pink float!

Lastly, we added a horse and carriage ride since we had lots of

friends coming from the same company we have used every single

Christmas since we moved to DFW Northstar Carriage (Note: they have

the prettiest rides through Highland Park + Deerfield at

Christmastime).

After "CC's Day Parade" we came inside and opened the doors into

Central Park with a walk through into the main ballroom.

We had Serendipity Frozen Hot Chocolate's waiting to be served as

guests walked in to Central Park.

In the main balloroom we set up perfectly pink tables with the most
precious pink chivari chairs from Bleu Luxury Rentals whom we just
adore!
My bestie and florist from our flower shop Patina + Peonies brought
my vision to life with lots of greenery + sweet pink flowers in white
pumpkins!
The plates + napkins I ordered from Meri Meri and the tiny taxi cabs +
thank you tags were custom made by Filled With Joy.
The favor is one of my favorite details! I wanted to tie in the "Big
Apple" so we asked sweet Nikki with Sweets on a Stick to make caramel
apples for all the kiddos and she even added pink chocolate which
coordinated perfectly (she also made the cute cake pops)!
