23RD AUGUST

2025 (SATURDAY)

- THE BIRTHDAY CELEBRANTS. -

- CONCEPT. -

A joint birthday party where nature takes center stage: lush greenery, colorful blooms, glowing lanterns, a serene world of shimmering blues, and mystical water life. There will be a flow from daylight garden elegance to twilight enchantment.

Land color palette: blush pink, sage green, soft lavender, ivory, champagne gold, and white glow

Water color palette: aqua, teal, deep navy, cobalt, pearl white, iridescent holographic accents

- WELCOME STATION. -

What greets the guests is a gate wrapped in flowers and a welcome sign that says, โ€œWelcome to the Enchanted Garden~!โ€. From here, each guest receives a signature welcome drink, Lavender Sparkler or Mermaid Waves (non-alcoholic & alcoholic options available).

As they walk along, they encounter a transition bridge called the โ€œBridge of Realms,โ€ featuring a white and light blue sheer cloth that forms a tunnel-like effect, accompanied by iridescent streamers, garlands overhead, and bubbles everywhere.

Guests are more than welcome to decide whether to dine indoors or outdoors. The botanical center has wooden tables and pastel-colored chairs. Imagine lace runners, floral arrangements as centerpieces, and twinkling fairy lights overhead. Meanwhile, the garden has arranged picnic blankets with upcycled crates and barrels, pillows, and bean bags. There are small, illuminated aquariums with colorful freshwater fish, like bettas, tetras, or guppies, as centerpieces, hanging paper lanterns, and artificial candles in glass holders.

* inspired by Yaegaki Shrine.

There are two ponds: a koi pond with floating lotus and water lilies, and a regular one with floating candles. Guests can relax on the low tables around them with the soft cushions and poufs, as well as blankets for added comfort during the evening.Guests are more than welcome to get a fortune-telling paper, write their wishes on it, make it float on the regular pond's surface, and carefully place a ๏ฟฅ100 or โ‚ฉ 500 coin on top of it. If the paper sinks quickly (in less than 15 minutes), the wish will come true very soon. If the paper takes longer to sink, it will take time for the wish to come true.
