Happy first Friday in Spring, friends! It may not feel like it quite yet, but warmer days are on their way. Until then, we’re celebrating with a look back at Jacquelyn of Beijos Events‘ 40th birthday, a milestone that she celebrated with a Spring party at home with friends in collaboration with her favorite local creatives and bestie, photog Alison Bernier. It’s got us so excited for all the backyard parties to come!

Guests knew they were in for something good when they walked up to the giant 40 marquee from Alpha Lit covered in The Pop Shop balloons.

Jacquelyn says, A year ago I – GULP – turned 40! Not something most of us look forward to but after the past few years I wanted something to celebrate. It was a milestone birthday and my husband and I wanted to gather our nearest and dearest to have some fun! I of course enlisted the help of all of my favorite vendors to make it extra cute and special! We were going back and forth on whether to have a party with Covid but two weeks before we said, let’s go for it! And it was a night to remember.

Jacquelyn borrowed the disco balls from her friend Sabrina at Golden Arrow Event Design to channel the party vibes outside.

They had a table set for guests to eat at, cute high tops spread throughout the yard, and the most beautiful bar set up along with a couple spots to lounge.

And they turned to Sweet & Saucy Shop for the bright and tasty treats.

The bar was probably my favorite spot, and it wasn’t just because we had the yummiest drinks! I love this beautiful bar from Sweet Salvage Rentals, paired with the amazing balloons, florals, and of course a disco ball! This scene is just too good! Plus, Pirouette Paper and Creative Amme created the most beautiful signage and stir sticks for those extra special details.
