BUZZ BEAT MEDIA

It’s been a while since lavish birthday parties with all your friends and family present has stopped being the norm, now that we live in an era where we are doing our best to still do social distancing and prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

 It has become pretty common to spend your special day without inviting many people during birthdays, and it is usually celebrated right at home with those closest to you. Which is why it’s nice to be nostalgic and stroll down memory lane as we try to remember celebrities having the grandest birthday celebrations in previous years, with flashy stages and a crowd of loved ones on their birthday. Some celebs also managed to pull off memorable birthdays in recent years, and it’s infectious to see their happiness with a successful birthday bash even through these trying times.

Looking through celebrity birthdays makes us miss gathering with people from different places, eating party food, playing party games with others, and more. It can also inspire us when we’re in need of decoration ideas and themes for when, sometime in the future, we can freely invite all of our loved ones to our party. Let’s take note of some bonggang-bonggang birthdays through the years!

Ylona Garcia

One of the most memorable on the list is that of Ylona Garcia’s 18th birthday party. She certainly looked stunning donning outfits which looked regal against the lavish backdrop of Palazzo Verde in Las Piñas, where her birthday was held. Her theme was the 50’s, an ode to her grandfather who loved the era. From her photoshoots down to the actual party, she made everyone turn heads as she paraded her 50’s inspired looks and gorgeous dresses.

Metro Style covered the event, and event stylist Gideon Hermosa said of her theme: “As William Shakespeare says ‘All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players…’ A #Gideonized young 1950’s theatre theme where the venue is the stage, the place where all production were made and Ylona, our debutante, is main character who plays a very significant role in this celebration of life & legality!”

Julia Barretto

Julia Barretto is certainly known for her chic and classy fashion sense, and it also showed especially on her 22nd birthday. With yellow and green pastels all around, the place where she held her birthday was a sure delight, which was actually in her garden, and not only were it a sight for sore eyes, it was also full of eventful happenings in the young lady’s life. She looked stunning as she was seen wearing a matching ruffled top and skirt that echoed the vibe of her birthday theme. Her loved ones were all around her to share the joy of her celebration and her happiness was evident in the pictures from her party.
