Hello everyone, four years Liz. Four years full of laughter, little miracles and that very special magic that children bring into our lives. And like every year, one thing was particularly important to me this time: that her birthday wasn’t just celebrated, but that you could feel the love in every single detail. I think that’s why the decorations for my children’s birthday parties mean so much to me. It’s about that feeling. About the atmosphere. About memories that last. I want them to look back on these days later and remember how special they felt. For Liz’s fourth birthday, I created a small, dreamy world made of delicate colors and loving details. Everything should appear soft, warm and playful – just like her. The balloon garland in pink, cream and soft taupe tones was the centerpiece of the decoration. Small white paper flowers and large flowers in nude tones were hidden between the balloons, which gave the whole thing something magical. Plus the floating heart balloons that almost looked like they were filling the room with love. While I was decorating, I thought about the last four years so often. About how a little baby grew into this happy, lively and loving girl who brightens up every room. Maybe that’s exactly why I put so much passion into my preparations. Because every garland, every napkin and every little flower somehow says: “You are loved. So much.” I love these quiet moments on the evening before the birthday, when the house is slowly finished being decorated and everything is still quiet. When I hang up the balloons, set the table and imagine how her eyes will shine the next morning. That’s exactly why I do all of this. For this real amazement. For the joy. For the little children’s hands that run excitedly around the room. The birthday table was also deliberately kept simple and loving. White dishes, fine pink details, small butterflies and delicate accents matched the decoration perfectly. Everything seemed light, calm and at the same time full of warmth – almost like a loving hug. And although the preparation is often stressful and such days always go by much faster than you would like, I would do it the same way again every time. Because children may not remember every gift. But they remember how they felt. Liz’s fourth birthday was just that: full of warmth, full of joy and full of love. A day that flew by and that I will still carry in my heart forever. Our little miracle is getting bigger – and I am infinitely grateful to be able to accompany our sunshine on this journey. 💕.
Sincerely,
Looks like…COJA
