Some Bunny is One Table Decorations

When it comes to creating a charming table set up for a first birthday, simple yet thoughtful details can make all the difference. I started with a neutral beige, linen-look tablecloth as the base, giving the table a soft, natural feel. I added two vases of delicate baby’s breath in clear glass, which brought a fresh, airy touch. The flowers added just the right amount of charm, tying everything together beautifully.
To complete the look, I layered in cake stands topped with cupcakes, adorable bunny-shaped plates, and matching napkins. Gold egg confetti added a playful sparkle, while a milestone photo garland showcased our baby’s journey from zero to one, offering a sweet trip down memory lane for our guests. The result was a table that felt both simple and special—perfect for celebrating this precious milestone.
Some Bunny Is Turning One Balloon Arch

No party is complete without balloons, and a balloon arch is a must for creating a memorable “wow” moment! I collaborated with a local balloon artist to design a custom garland. I chose a soft, elegant palette of white, gold, and gold confetti-filled balloons, which perfectly complemented the theme.
To make it extra special, I added adorable white bunny-shaped foil balloons, tying everything together beautifully. The arch became a stunning focal point and the perfect backdrop for photos, elevating the celebration while remaining an affordable and stylish party decoration.
Some Bunny Is Turning One Cake

No birthday party is complete without a cake, and for our “Some Bunny is Turning One” celebration, we kept things sweet and simple.
For the guests, we served classic vanilla cupcakes topped with vanilla buttercream. To make them extra special, I added adorable photo cupcake toppers featuring photos of our little one, each decorated with tiny party hats. I have done this for all our first birthdays and achieved using this easy tutorial.
The star of the show was the birthday girl’s smash cake: a three-layer, 4-inch semi-naked cake lightly frosted for a delicate look. I finished it with a custom bunny ear topper made from floral wire and thyme, accented by a touch of baby’s breath at the base. This setup was simple yet perfectly on theme, creating a picture-perfect moment for her big day!

A first birthday is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration where even the highchair becomes a party feature. After all, this might be the only year your little one stays seated long enough for their special cake moment! Highchair decor is an absolute must for a first birthday party.
For our “Some Bunny is Turning One” theme, I had my heart set on a delicate floral highchair banner, and it turned out beautifully. I created a simple baby’s breath garland and secured it to the highchair using command hooks. It was quick, and easy, and added a dreamy, whimsical touch that made the entire setup feel extra special. This charming detail completed the theme and became the perfect backdrop for those unforgettable cake smash photos!
