This styled shoot is part of Confetti Fair's United States of Party collaboration; a collection of 23 unique parties and events all inspired by a US location.

From the taxis, to the street signs, Central Park and the amazing skyscrapers, this setting truly brought NYC to life for this birthday celebration. We heart it!

What inspired you to choose New York?

It was easy to choose this state – because of its city. New York City is iconic and known for its concrete jungle and green heart. With such an ironic and yet poetic combination it’s no surprise why this city is featured in so many famous movies and TV shows. Its buzzing streets boast a harmony between old world art-deco buildings and modern age skyscrapers– a designer’s dream. We truly believed that it allowed endless options for styling due to the city’s colourful history and landscape. With so many amazing angles to interpret this fantastic city, we wanted to create a whimsical and playful take on NYC.

Which DIYs or party trends did you incorporate into your shoot?

We incorporated the current trends of streamer backdrops, clear Orbz balloons and neon lights.

What is your favourite thing about the USA?

How everything is much bigger and exaggerated. From food to lifestyles, we have all grown up watching American movies and have this idealism of the culture they have. Another of my favourite things is the way they celebrate holidays such as Christmas and Halloween. The effort everyone goes to celebrate is a show of the type of culture they have.

What influenced the theme and styling?

The bright and stark yellow New York City cabs that stick out like a sore thumb against the grey city. Trying our best not to be too literal with the state we chose, the idea was to portray a whimsical and playful interpretation of the city – catered to a child’s birthday party.

We knew that we needed to pay homage to some of the icons of New York so we subtly infused them into the design.
