The Perfect Birthday Part 4: Dessert and a Toast



Dessert would be filled with strawberries, macarons, saint honoré pastries, and pastel cakes.







Any gifts would be simple, girly things I would never by myself like french booties, Audrey Hepburn style sun glasses, tulips, tiny make up mirrors, or an antique ring.





At the end of the night, everyone would grab a glass of champagne and a sparkler, run across an open field below a sky of fireworks, cheers to each other and the fun we've had, and then watch the sun rise over field of bright red flowers.







The Perfect Birthday Part 3: Dinner Party


For the dinner party, everyone would arrive in old fashioned cars to a beautiful garden filled with hydrangeas. In the spirit of spring, all of the girls would wear crowns made of flowers.




Dinner would be set up outside below the trees with lights and brightly colored lanterns hanging from the tree branches. The dinner table would be covered with flowers, glitter, and sparkling table wear.





We would all drink mojitos and fruity cocktails.




And I would wear a sparkly or lacey dress like one of these:

We would spend the day lying in fields of flowers, reading our favorite books, biking through wide open fields, and lounging by lily pad filled lakes.






We would break for a picnic full of fresh fruits and vegetables and sparkling water filled with lemon and berries like below:




And then climb to a special spot with an epic and beautiful view like below:


In the late afternoon, we would swim in a secluded lake surrounded by evergreens:
