Aw, I LOVE to look back at my little ones’ milestones in life! Isn’t that what parties are all about?! If nothing else, parties are for celebrating the big and small moments and creating memories. Plus, a party is a great chance to gather family and friends together to laugh, eat and love. Today, I am sharing the Peaches and Cream | Sweet as a Peach 1st Birthday Party I styled for my little peach. Her birthday is in the summer so it was a perfect time for celebrating the ripening, sweet, juicy fruit on the tree and my sweet, juicy girl too! I could just eat her! I can’t nail down my favorites from this celebration, but a few things to look out for when scrolling include the following:

Just like I have always said, I would love to invite ALL of you to every party I style! Too bad we don’t have unlimited time off from work and unlimited frequent flyer miles! Since I can’t invite all of my Kara’s Party Ideas family, I will share this joyous day with you here. So, grab a drink and find somewhere comfortable to sit, then come on into the party! While you do that, let’s take a moment to talk about the vendors I used. These aren’t paid or sponsored vendors….just things I found, loved and wanted to use.

Peaches and Cream | Sweet as a Peach 1st Birthday Party
Custom “Sweet as a Peach” happy birthday chalk letter sign was made by my sister-in-law, Let’s Letter This! I would highly recommend her! She does amazing work and can customize anything for you.
I cut peach gingham fabric into squares as an underlay for the table centerpieces. Next, I painted mason jars white to use as flower vases. The crates are from Ikea and are adorned with a vintage peach label (that I glued on).
Main Dessert Table
Little Cake & Dessert Shop (Lehi, Utah) made the most beautiful peach cake and peach cupcakes that everyone devoured!
I purchased these darling miniature peach pies from Walmart and tied a mini fork onto the boxes with fabric and ribbon.
Drink Table
This darling balloon garland was a cinch to DIY! I used twine, peach balloons and faux leaves.
My dear friend Kelli made the “fresh peaches” crate for the party! Isn’t it darling?!
I used the same concept for the peach straws as I did for the peach garland.
Let’s Letter This did an incredible job at all the calligraphy and chalk writing!
My FUJIFILM Instax photo printer is my favorite. I printed various photos from Kamryn’s first year and hung them with clothes pins and twine on a cute vintage ladder.
My sweet friend, Lolita’s Craft, painted custom peach tags for the party!
Second Dessert Table
A peach-painted screen door served as a backdrop for the dessert table. We DIY’d the peach number “one” using gator board and faux peaches (found here).
I covered individual canned peach jars with gingham fabric and a custom tag.
Kamry’s monthly milestone photos will always hold a special place in my heart. Watching her grow through the year has pulled at my heartstrings!
Food Table
Party Take Home Favors
I recreated a farmers market peach stand using baskets. Guests filled paper bags with fresh peaches at the end of the party to take home.
Cake Smash
Gift Opening
This heirloom Rocking Horse made me gasp when I found it online. I just had to get it for her. She LOVED it.
