This sweet VINTAGE CHIC FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Diane Holdsambeck of My Lady Dye.
I think this party is so beautiful and has so many sweet elements. This not only makes a lovely birthday party and would also be perfect for a bridal or baby shower!
Some of my favorite ideas are:
-
The paper rosette fans
-
The fabric strip banner backdrop
-
The diaper cake
-
The mason drinking jars adorned with lace and jute twine
-
The biscuit mix packaged in linen bags as party favors
-
and MORE!

Here’s what Diane said about the party- “This was my little girl’s 1st Birthday Party dessert table. I am a custom stationery designer and run my own online business, My Lady Dye. So of course I had to design a Bespoke stationery collection for my daughter’s 1st Birthday!
I designed and handcrafted all details of the party from the invitation, tablescape design, decor, and paper goods. My sister-in-law and I even baked/iced the cake and cupcakes. Flowers from the local store and all the fabric details and decor were recycled items, as I bought a pink table cloth and a few pillow cases (vintage turquoise and deep vintage pink colored pillow cases) from the Goodwill store and reconstructed them into the shredded wall backdrop, for ties and bows on all the banners, the ties on the mason jars and flower jars, the handmade “cover” for the cake stand (the stand is actually a reused wooden fruit box), and for the ends of the suspended cotton string decor. The only piece I kept in-tack and did not reconstruct was the deep vintage pink round table cloth.
Handcrafted items include cake stand “cover”, cake topper, monogram letter, shredded fabric wall backdrop, suspended cotton string decor, embellished fanned wall decor, water bottle labels, favor tags, drink tags, flag straws, invitation (invite, envelope liner, and printed envelopes), birthday girl flag stick, cupcake toppers, happy birthday banner, gift table banner, high chair banner, flagged banner for the wooden box used for the favors (bags of biscuit mix), and birthday girl floral headband. The paper mache monogram letter was painted and covered with decorative paper.
The color palette (pink, deep vintage pink, vintage turquoise, ivory with accents in a vintage teal) evolved from a stack of scrap papers I had sitting in my studio space, in which I used to create the embellished fanned wall decor. The diaper cake was a handmade gift from my sister-in-law.
Then I used burlap, twine and touches of lace and felt, to tie the vintage chic theme together. Burlap wrapped around the flower jars and as a table cloth and made small twine bows for the cupcake wraps. All photos taken by me as well.”
