For our sons first birthday we decided on an under the sea theme. His birthday is July 19 so it was a perfect opportunity for a pool party.
The Decorations and Details
- DIY Balloon Arch made by me. You can read all about how I did it here.
- Hand painted waves I made from cardboard and acrylic paint. If you’d like more details on this send me a DM on Instagram!
- Under the Sea Balloons
- For the centerpieces I ran blue tulle down the center of the tables made to look like waves and then I added seashells.
- The backdrop is just a white queen sheet that I dyed ombre with a few different colored blue and teal dyes. If you’d like more details on this send me a DM on Instagram!
