Jude's Trip Around the Universe — 1st Birthday Long Beach

About This Installation

A dreamy space-themed first birthday at a private home in Long Beach — 'Jude's First Trip Around the Universe.' I designed a custom backdrop with stars scattered throughout, anchored by a 4-foot light-up number one and a wooden sun cutout. Planet balloons floated alongside an astronaut girl photo cutout. The organic balloon garland used baby pink, green, yellow, light purple, and peach — celestial without being cartoonish, giving the whole installation a pastel-galaxy feel that photographed beautifully in the home's natural light. First birthday themes like this are one of my favorite installs because every element can travel with the family as keepsakes.
