For Peter's first birthday in Manhattan, event designer Keren Precel planned an animal parade-themed party at Freshmade NYC, a kids' cooking studio and event space. Utilizing a mix of high (custom-printed goods) and low (plastic toy animals) elements, Peter's party struck just the right balance of being baby-friendly while still sophisticated.
"We started out using a watercolour drawing of an animal parade and an earthy colour palette that included green, yellow, and orange," Keren said. For lunch, the Baby Bar was designed to display "nibble dishes" like soft pasta, fruits and veggies, and tea sandwiches. See how all the pieces of this kid-friendly party came together.
