Hi cuties — this is my full 21st garden party vlog where I take you behind the scenes of how I planned my dream birthday setup on a budget, with lots of DIY bits to make it feel super aesthetic. You’ll see me setting up the food spread (literally obsessed), from a Nutella platter with biscuits, cheese crackers and marshmallows, to Costco spring rolls, sandwiches and donuts. I also put together a fruit situation with watermelon and berries, and I show you how I laid everything out so it looks cute but still easy for guests to grab. I also planned a little painting moment for everyone, so I set up different painting styles and plates, and it honestly made the whole party feel more personal and interactive. My friends and fam filmed the sweetest birthday messages, and the vibes were just so wholesome. And obviously we had to have a cake reveal — mine was a pink bow cake and it was so cute and so aesthetic. If you’re planning a birthday, my biggest takeaways are: pick a cohesive colour palette, add personal touches, keep the snacks simple but pretty, and always have a backup plan for weather/lighting.
