A little birthday magic waiting at home. 🧚🏼‍♀️🌿🦋

My beautiful nieces, Katarina & Sofia, both celebrated their birthdays while away in Europe this summer — Katarina turned 11 and Sofia turned 7. So naturally, I couldn’t let them come home without a little birthday magic waiting for them. 💕

I wanted their surprise to feel like stepping straight into an enchanted fairy garden — soft pinks and greens, cascading greenery, butterflies, fairies and just a little bit of whimsy everywhere you look.

Because being an auntie means birthdays still count even when you’re on the other side of the world. 🥰

🌪️ When your 5-year-old asks for Spiderman, Roblox AND a tornado…

You make it happen. ❤️

This might just be the most personal Events by MJ setup I’ve ever created — because this one was for my own little guy, Tristan, who turned FIVE! 🥹

His requests were very specific: Roblox, Spider-Man… and, most importantly, a TORNADO. 🌪️😂

Rather than choosing one theme, I wanted to bring his little world to life and create something completely unique to him.

The tornado was absolutely the star of this design. Built entirely from balloons it became the statement piece I envisioned — surrounded by stormy greys, metallic silver, deep navy and those bold superhero reds. ⚡️

Comic-book details, his favourite characters tucked into the tornado, the Roblox-inspired Spider-Man, and that dramatic balloon installation brought all of his favourite things together into one wonderfully chaotic little world.

It was bold. It was different. It was a little crazy.
And it was so Tristan. ❤️

Creating beautiful events is always special, but there is something pretty incredible about getting to use what I love to create a little bit of magic for the person I love most.

Happy 5th Birthday, Tristan. Mommy loved bringing your wild little vision to life. 🌪️🕷️❤️

From the moment Dolores Pucci shared her vision for Matia’s Beary First Birthday, I fell in love with this Ralph Lauren-inspired theme. 🧸🤍

I had so much fun making it uniquely Events by MJ — from the rich navy, forest green and soft blue palette to the touches of gold, greenery and the sweetest bear detail. The tartan backdrop paired with the crisp white lettering brought everything together perfectly, and this may just be one of my favourite colour palettes yet. ✨

A heartfelt thank you to Dolores for trusting me with such a special milestone, and to her sister for the beautiful referral. There’s truly no greater compliment than having one celebration lead to another. 🤍

Happy 1st Birthday, Matia! 🧸
