Lilly Pulitzer 1st Birthday Party

We are huge Lilly Pulitzer fans at our house, so a Lilly Pulitzer themed party seemed perfect when my youngest daughter turned 1!

We used some of our favorite prints to transform our home into a Lilly Pulitzer dream! My favorite decorations included: the Lilly Pulitzer lanterns, the painted canvases, the pennants on the dessert table background, the Lilly table cloth, the vases that were filled Hershey Kisses with Lilly stickers on the bottom, and of course the gorgeous cake and cookies!

We incorporated as many Lilly items as we could find, such as the plastic Lilly cups! Many Lilly decorations have been discontinued, but I was able to score the lanterns, table cloth, and other fun items by starting my search months in advance and by borrowing items from friends and family.

The birthday girl wore the popular "Let Them Eat Cake" Lilly Pulitzer Dress for the party and a bib and bloomer set with her initials appliqued with Lilly fabric.

I love how everything came together! It was fun to mix some of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer prints and I felt that the monogram printables tied everything together.
