Kellie from This Blessed Nest hosted a laid-back gingham birthday party in her backyard for her adorable twins, Mason and Madison. They turned 1 with quite a party, complete with festive food, gingham pennants, a dressed-up photo booth, and lots of friends. Kellie, the gracious host and mom, shared with us some of her favorite photos from that day.

Lots of Kellie's ideas and inspirations came from her favorite blogs. She gave the party her own twist with tables that were set with as much gingham as she could find. Add to that a brunch menu packed with color and flavor and you've got a fun party in the works. Click here to learn how to make the twinkling star watermelon pops. They're actually frozen!
