This Boho Beach Theme Party is a Ticket to Tulum!

Planning

Tulum Birthday Party

One of life’s truths is that if Alexis of The Shift Creative is planning a party, it’s going to be uh-mazing. EVEN IF she plans it in just four days. For her daughter’s birthday, she whipped together a boho beach theme party with not a cocktail umbrella or plastic palm tree in sight. No, this neutral beach scene is a one-way ticket to Tulum and we’re packing our bags!

Given the current climate we find ourselves as a nation, celebrating is really hard. My daughter Sophia was turning 7 and while she can grasp some concepts but not the gravity of the situation, she deserves to be a kid celebrating another year of her life! In four days, I rounded up an intimate list of vendors to pull off her beach-inspired birthday! Naturally, when my daughter said “beach theme,” I heard Tulum!

Hello Blue Photo was one of the friend-ors who hopped on board to photograph the sweet day!

Take Us to Tulum

Tulum-Inspired Cake + Desserts

Tulum Birthday PartyAmriels Cakes jumped on theme when Alexis shared her vision for Tulum-inspired desserts. She handmade the cutest “rattan” beach chair, umbrella, and towel that sat perfectly on top of a wave cake! Sandcastle cookies and shell cupcakes were the final addition which Michelle then styled to with perfection.
