Birthday Fun – Paper Decorations

Hello everyone! Last month I got to celebrate my little Blayke Lennon turning 2! Where does the time go? I had so much fun decorating our family room & I kindly received a selection of decorations by Sky Lantern Original to make the event so much more special!

I selected a variety of shapes & coloured lanterns to decorate with, making sure the colours went well alongside the various dinosaur themed presents I’d wrapped & our decor. I chose yellows, whites, greys & turquoises to tie in with the theme & to really pop against the white & orange walls (they also happen to be some of my personal favourite colours & co-ordinate with Blayke’s bedroom!)

I had so much fun organising his Birthday, decorating late at night with a lovely glass of wine in one hand & paper lanterns in the other! I added fresh flowers to the table, a huge number 2 balloon as well as scattered around some brightly coloured balloons to make it even more fun. I then made a cute little pile out of Blayke’s presents.

I really wanted to hang all of them across the room on a beautiful length of string but as our room is so newly renovated / plastered I’ve been told to avoid wall hooks & adhesives (for a little while). The decorations are great & hugely versatile so I decorated the window area instead & stacked a few to create beautiful display clusters around the room.

I was so impressed with the colour, quality & lasting power of the paper lanterns from Sky Lantern Original. They really did add so much fun & colour to our little event & they were really toddler proof too. Seeing Blayke’s giddy little face at all of the decorations the next morning was so special!

If you’d like to check out Sky Lantern Original for your own special event then you can find them on their website & Facebook. I really recommend them, especially the gorgeous chevron & tie dye style lanterns! They have a huge variety of unique shapes & sizes alongside many other special products from bunting to lanterns that you can release into the sky!
