#17: shabby chic boy's tablescape

Mon Tresor designed this shabby chic ice cream parlor style party for her son.  The ribbon backdrop and the blue with brown color scheme make this a real eye-catcher.

#16: shabby chic tablescape

Here's what Ivona had to say about the design:

"The theme of the party was vintage with a sprinkle of Southern charm. 

The main colors of the line and tablescape were olive green and turquoise - to mellow out the tablescape I added ivory and pops of pink in the details.  

Pops of pink came from the Swanky Baby Vintage fabrics adding for a shabby chic flair as well. 

As the title of the line was "Swanky Swirls & Vintage Pearls" Holli and I agreed there should be plenty of sparkle, as shown on cupcakes, cookies and marshmallows.

The site of the party/ photoshoot was an old pecan orchard adding to the vintage feel of this relaxed party set up.

The perfect party favors for the little models were the line logo cookies from Allyson Jane Designer Desserts."

Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful photo shoot and inspiration with us Ivona!

#5: a purrfect present.

Last Sunday a young man celebrated his 32th birthday. A few weeks ago he lost his beloved cat of 9 years. As he was still full of grief he mentioned the desire to own cats again. Then the idea came to surprise him with 2 kittens and a kittenpack was easily made by his beloved friends.

Soon I had arranged this all within less than a week, 2 beautiful black kittens and a lovely kittenpack for the beautiful creatures. Needless to say.. he was speechless.

#4: and the oscar goes to.

#3: too romantic for words.

Today a former colleague told me the shocking news that he had no girlfriend anymore.. I just couldn't believe it, they looked so happy.

Ten seconds later he told me that they got married last friday.. and NOBODY knew about it. They had invited their parents, brothers, sisters, other relatives and friends for their 30st birthdayparty with the dresscode: festive.

Offcourse he and his girlfriend planned this a half year ago, telling me they didn't ever need a weddingplanner because they wouldn't get married anytime soon.

Everybody came for their birthdayparty and he got down on his knee asking her to marry her. So naturally everyone thought it was spontaneous untill the wedding-official came and married them right there and then..

I thought this was so romantic and so THEM! Congratz..

#2: moodboard hollywood theme party.

Penny has asked us to organize a Hollywood theme Party for her 22nd birthday.

2 Weeks later she threw her big birthday bash and everyone was flabbergasted.

The guests dressed as moviestars or -characters were welcomed on a red carpet. And after walking through a golden doorcurtain they were given a glass of champagne and a photographer took their picture infront of a Hollywood Scenesetter. In the livingroom were 200 black and golden balloons against the ceiling and the room was divided into several corners. A glamourcorner for the ladies to have their hair, nails or make-up done so they would look just like real moviestars. A SingStarcorner for the ones who'd like to show off their vocal talents. For the gentlemen a pokercorner and if they wanted to chill out, there was a relaxlounge indoors and outdoors in the partytent.

The guests where served with delicious sushi and other fingerfood. For diner there was a BBQ in the partytent.

At the end of the party the guests were asked to write down their favorite look-a-like. This was a very difficult task, because everyone looked incredible. A Clark Kent turning into Superman, Catwoman, Lenny Kravitz, Fryer Tuck, Captain Hook, Blair Waldorf (Gossip Girl).. they all looked amazing!
