Go Inside Grace Lilly's Fairytale Birthday Party: “My Birthday is Like the Met Gala of Charleston”
The Southern Hospitality cast member’s "iconic" celebration included costumes and magical decor.
As we know, Grace Lilly loves to throw an over-the-top themed party. After all, who could forget the VIP host's birthday bash on Season 1 of Southern Hospitality, aptly named Grace in Wonderland?
Of course, Grace followed suit by planning another party to celebrate her 25th birthday, which aired on the latest episode of the series, and you better believe she pulled out all the stops.
For the occasion, Grace hosted an enchanted celebration that was held in the sprawling forests of Charleston. The party featured a gorgeous table setting, a special cocktail menu, and fun activities.
Moreover, Grace enjoyed her festivities with her Southern Hospitality castmates, who came dressed appropriately for the event as they channeled their favorite fictional characters.

Grace Lilly discusses her birthday plans
On Season 2, Episode 3 of Southern Hospitality, which aired on December 21, Grace explained the hype around her parties. “My birthday is like the Met Gala of Charleston. It is fun, fabulous, and iconic," she said during a confessional.
Grace continued to reveal the theme of this year’s shindig, which would be a “fairytale wonderland.” As for the dress code, she wanted her guests to wear fantasy-like costumes to complement her well-prepped “mermaid fairy outfit.”

At the affair, Grace’s friends gave their best efforts when it came to their costumes. Joe Bradley appeared to be dressed as Aladdin, Mikel Simmons as Peter Pan, and Emmy Sharrett donned the same Cinderella costume as another attendee.
While we were impressed by everyone's costumes, what really stood out were the decorations that Grace had put together. The outdoor setup featured a long wooden table surrounded by antique wooden chairs of various styles. The table looked stunning with its light pink flowers and leaves arranged beautifully as centerpieces.
Other details from the party included a blue-and-white menu that listed out fun-named cocktails mixed with champagne, vodka, and tequila spirits. What’s more, Grace capped off her special day with a two-tier birthday cake decorated with pink and blue icing and topped with pink flowers and gold butterflies.
