Real Parties, Real People — April’s Epic Highlights 🎉 👇

🎂 Rosa’s 21st in Cleveland – A Full-Circle Moment

Rosa is the bestie of Maddie (whose party we styled last year), so when it was Rosa’s turn to hit 21, she called us in! At the Cleveland Tavern, we set up a glowing circle backdrop with a luxe balloon garland and our radiant Twenty One neon sign. The cherry on top? Spotting a pic of Maddie’s backdrop on the venue’s photo board — a true full-circle SweetAz moment 💫 Big love to Rosa and Lesley for letting us be part of both milestones!

🍹 Abbi’s 17th in Manly West – Cool Vibes Only

For Abbi’s 17th, mum Lucy wanted to keep the crew refreshed at their home in Manly West. The answer? Our slushie machine! Mocktails flowed, vibes stayed chill, and smiles were everywhere. The perfect recipe for a sweet birthday celebration 🎉

🦩 Nadia’s Hens Weekend in Broadbeach – Flamingo Dreams

Brianna went all-out decking a Broadbeach Airbnb in flamingo-and-disco-ball flair for bestie Nadia’s hens. We added the glam with a silver shimmer wall, a bright pink, fuchsia, and orange balloon garland, and their own pink “Let’s Party” neon sign. The result? A weekend that was epic, glowing, and party-perfect 💃✨ PS: shoutout to Brianna for tracking us down when we left a spare car key behind — you’re a legend!

🦇 Kahn & Virgil’s Birthday Bash in Broadbeach – Double Trouble

This birthday duo took on Dracula’s Cabaret in Broadbeach for a weekend to remember. After a cheeky “stand against the wall” moment for arriving late 😂, we hopped the train ride, grabbed selfies in the bar, and settled into VIP seats. The service, the staff, the show? Absolutely spooktacular. If you haven’t been, book it now.

💜 Mary’s 50th in Alexandra Hills – Fab & Bold

For Mary’s milestone 50th at the Alexandra Hills Hotel, we brought the sparkle with an iridescent shimmer wall, a striking blue, purple orchid and black balloon garland, and a bold Fifty neon sign. With family and friends on-site helping with balloons, we may have gone a little extra (hello, surprise 3m garland 😅). The vibe was pure fun — happy birthday Mary! 💜

💖 Lilli’s 18th in Brisbane – Glam Start to Adulthood

Nicole (mum) gave daughter Lilli the sweetest pre-party start at home before heading into the city for her big night. We set up the hoop backdrop with a luxe pink, white and reflex gold balloon garland, finished with a glowing pink Eighteen neon sign. Such a dreamy setup for a milestone moment!

🎂 Carlyle’s 21st in West End – DIY Glow-Up

Sometimes it’s a simple pickup that makes the magic. For Carlyle’s 21st in West End, mum collected our Twenty One neon sign for a DIY setup. Love seeing SweetAz gear bringing the glow even when we’re not there in person. Happy Birthday Carlyle!
