Custom Color Perfection for Serena’s Birthday in Irvine
We love when a client knows exactly what they want — and for Serena’s birthday party in Irvine, her mom had a clear, beautiful vision from the start. She requested a very specific mix of baby blues, taupes, and warm beiges, and we made sure the balloon garland and soft play set matched it perfectly.
The result? A soft, modern birthday setup that felt cohesive, intentional, and fresh — even in the middle of summer heat.
Inside the Setup
The party took place at a community clubhouse in Irvine, which turned out to be the perfect spot for a summer celebration. Not only did it provide plenty of space for guests, but the indoor setting gave everyone — including the little ones — a break from the rising temps outside.
We installed a double panel backdrop featuring a full custom balloon garland in mom’s exact palette. Think neutral browns and taupes mixed with soft blue tones — a beautiful combination that paired well with the rest of the decor and felt unique without being overwhelming.
To complete the look, we added our small white soft play set, which gave younger guests a safe, styled space to play while the older kids and adults celebrated nearby.
Quick Turnaround, Thoughtful Impact
What made this event extra memorable behind the scenes was the tight timeline. We had three parties that day, but our team arrived early to get this one set up first thing in the morning — before the heat kicked in and well ahead of guest arrival.
Even better? The group using the clubhouse after Serena’s party loved the balloon garland so much, they asked to repurpose it for their event. We were happy to say yes — it’s always nice to see the install get a second life instead of going to waste. A win for both sustainability and community.
Design Details That Made It Work
- Custom color matching: We carefully pulled colors based on reference photos and preferences from Serena’s mom, adjusting shades to ensure the perfect blend.
- Double panel structure: A clean, modern look that framed the balloon install beautifully.
- Soft play coordination: Keeping everything in a complementary tone helped the setup feel polished and purposeful.
- Indoor setting: A smart call for a hot day — comfort always matters.
Ready for More Thoughtful Celebrations
This party reminded us how far a clear design vision and good communication can go. Even with a full schedule, we love delivering setups that feel special and personal — and when we can help another family enjoy it after, even better.
