One Magical Day: Mila’s First Birthday Celebration

You know what they say, “Go big or go home,” and when it comes to a first birthday party, why not make it unforgettable? With Kolby Bowman of Amanda Reed Weddings leading the way, Mila’s carousel-themed celebration was filled with charm. Envision dreamy florals, whimsical details, and the perfect amount of magic, making you fall in love with every thoughtful touch.

From The Planner

“There’s something so magical about a baby’s first birthday – and Mila’s was no exception. Designing this celebration alongside the team at Samantha’s Garden was a true dream. We envisioned a whimsical carousel theme filled with soft pastel hues, lush florals, and charming details that felt straight out of a fairytale.”

The Planner Shares, 

“The party was held at Samantha’s Garden’s flagship venue in Springdale, which set the perfect backdrop for this floral wonderland. Every design element was intentionally chosen: linens from BBJ La Tavola, and Choice Party Linens, elegant wooden chairs from Alchemy Event Rentals, and stunning backdrops by Post Party Co. Our florals were woven throughout the space – from delicate tabletop arrangements to full floor installs that brought the room to life.”

The Planner Continues, 

“A carousel mural from Atelier Choux Paris inspired the design, accented by a dreamy balloon installation from Confetti NWA and sweet signage by Dayflower Designs. Mila’s cake by Shelby Lynn’s Cakes perfectly echoed the theme, and treats from Butter and Blooms and Betty’s Berrys added an extra layer of sweetness.

Kids enjoyed the bounce house and soft play zone by Bunny Hop Mobile, while adults adored the nostalgic charm of our custom Kotton and Kandy Cart. Mila’s smash cake moment – framed by florals and love – was a highlight for everyone.”

The Planner Concludes, 

“The day was beautifully captured by Seathompson Photography and Dave and a Camera, with Love That Social & Liv Ella Films creating fun content to relive the magic.

This day was so much more than just a birthday. It was a celebration of life, family, and the love that surrounds Mila every single day.”

Mila’s first birthday was the kind of celebration you never forget – full of love, laughter, and the sweetest little details.
