Birthday Decoration ideas

It was my bestie's son's first Birthday and we really wanted something that was classic and not overly done. As blue was one of the obvious choices for birthday all the decor was in blue and a little brown to highlight the blue. It was one of the subtle and neat decor with balloon that I have ever seen.

Here are some of the pictures. Hope it helps with your birthday planning.
