today's party feature is so adorable i can't help wishing i had a daughter! ha!

the lovely photos are from a first birthday party for isabella. photography is by the amazingly talented pam rodrigues (site/facebook)who you may remember took photos of this gorgeous bridal shower featured here in the blog before. the party details are so sweet with the divine color palette of pink and yellow. the dessert table is filled with delicious bites and desserts all in sunny yellow and pretty pink. the cake is smashing and who can miss the floral-patterned umbrellas over the venue's chandeliers? so unique and special - i've never seen that before. it sure added an unforgettable impact!

of course, the celebrant is perfectly clad in pink tutus with pink and yellow flower headband - too cute!!
