Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl’s fiancée, Celeste Desjardins, shared a series of Instagram stories on Saturday as she celebrated her 29th birthday. The posts featured beautiful floral arrangements she received for the special occasion.

One of the pictures showed a large bouquet of white and green flowers placed on a dark wooden table beside a few coffee table books and a white candle jar. Celeste tagged Draisaitl in the story.

Another photo was a close-up of a glass vase filled with light pink and cream peonies she received from Leon Draisaitl’s mother, Sandra. She tagged Sandra Draisaitl’s Instagram handle in the story, followed by a white heart emoji.

Celeste also posted a click of a different bouquet made up of tightly closed white roses and fresh green leaves arranged in a round glass vase and placed near a bed. In the caption, she wrote:

“So beautiful,” tagging her friends Liv Hall and Lauren Kyle.

One of the stories displayed a beautifully decorated white cake topped with white macarons, orchids and a gold "Celly" topper, along with floral accents and a pair of golden scissors placed at the base.

“29 years old… my lucky number,” she captioned the story.

Another click saw Celeste posing inside a party bus with several partners of Oilers players, including Connor McDavid’s wife, Lauren Kyle, wearing matching jackets. Celeste also reposted a short clip from Evander Kane’s fiancée, Mara Teigen’s stories, featuring Celeste filmed from behind wearing an oversized Edmonton Hockey jacket and a beige cap as she blew the candles on a small cake.
