“She’s Our Little Belly”: Love Is Blind's Alexa & Brennon Throw The Summer I Turned Pretty Party for Daughter’s 1st Birthday, Say It’s a Full-Circle Moment of Love

Alexa and Brennon Lemieux's daughter is celebrating a major milestone — her first birthday!

The Love Is Blind stars, who appeared on season 3 of the Netflix dating show, commemorated their little girl's big day with a special birthday party inspired by the hit TV show, The Summer I Turned Pretty. With the theme being "The Summer Vienna Turned One," the proud parents enjoyed time with their baby girl, who looked too cute in her light pink dress.

"Her first birthday was almost as special as she is," Alexa tells PEOPLE. "So grateful for the family and friends who came together to celebrate our baby girl."

"Being Vienna’s mama is something I’ve never taken for granted," Alexa says. "She is the most loving, kind, silly, and beautiful little girl. Watching her grow over the last year has been the greatest gift. I can’t remember life before her and can’t imagine life without her."

Brennon echos his wife's heartfelt sentiments about their daughter, saying that Vienna has "turned my world into something more beautiful than I ever imagined."

"From the first flutter of her smile to the joyful chaos of her tiny adventures, she brings a sense of wonder to each moment," he tells PEOPLE. "I’m endlessly proud to be her father, and to watch her grow is the greatest gift I could receive. I am filled with joy at every step she takes toward becoming her own person. I hope she grows wild, grows kind, and grows fearless."

Vienna's big day came together with the help of Alexa Larberg Party Co., the party co-planner, who helped bring their vision to life. The food was catered by Crave and Parker Paschall Designs provided the flowers. As for the sweet treats, Heartfelt Art baked the cookies, while B&S Bakery crafted the two-tier cake. The entire event was captured by their videographer Aisle Archives and photographer Jenna Murray.

In honor of her baby girl's birthday, Alexa also released a new baby line, called L’ovedbaby x Alexa Lemieux. Each design has organic and sustainable cotton, with prints for every kid. The collection is currently available for preorder.

The couple announced the news of their daughter's birth on Instagram shortly after welcoming their little girl. In the sweet photo, Alexa and Brennon smiled together on a bed, with the newly minted mom cuddling their baby girl.

"Our perfect daughter, Vienna Ziva Lemieux, born July 31, 2024. She has mommy's hair and daddy's dimples and we couldn't be more in love 🩷," the couple wrote in their caption.

When the couple first announced with PEOPLE exclusively that they were pregnant in January 2024, they shared that the journey had been a long one.

"We've been trying for almost a year and a half, so it was a lot. I went through some fertility treatments and nothing worked," Alexa explained at the time. "I was really nervous that maybe we're never going to be able to have kids."

"For me personally, and this isn't how I view women, but I was put on this earth to be a mom," she continued. "Since I was a child, [I would be asked], 'What do you want to be when you're older?' And people are like, I want to be a princess or an astronaut or whatever it is. I was like, 'I want to be a mom.' That's all I ever wanted to be."

"And so, it was just a very down time for me. I was really going through it because I'm like I can't do the one thing that I feel like I was put on this earth to do," she admitted. "And for me, it strips you of your womanhood. That's what it felt like. And feeling like I was broken."

Eventually, however, the couple found out that they'd conceived naturally ahead of setting up their first in vitro fertilization (IVF) appointment. "When I found out, I definitely didn't think even a little bit that I was [pregnant]," Alexa recalled to PEOPLE. "I took some [tests] and it was positive and I just kept telling him when it came back positive, I was like, 'My body works, my body works!'"
