Styled: Surprise Birthday Party

 { veggies & dip in shooter-style glassware }

When my girlfriend asked me to help style the surprise party she was throwing for her man, I couldn't say no.  We came up with a colour theme and went from there.  She came up with a great menu and did a super job preparing the food.  We made tissue paper pom-poms and I created the table layout.  She also asked me to stick around and play photographer for the evening, since she knows how much I love taking pictures.  The birthday boy was totally surprised and everything went extremely well, it was great.

You both look gorgeous and what a great surprise party. I gotta keep the veggie shooter-style idea stored away for the future!

You did such an awesome job!! Everything looked great! I've decided colour themed tables are my new favourite, there is a lady who I"m sure you've heard about, but if not it's like her job to create beautiful table layouts. I can't remember her name but I have her tabbed on my other computer, so I will find it and send it to you. Love the shirt btw!

Oh, and my mum went shopping this weekend and then today I saw a stack of things she was planning on returning and scored this great shirt! living at home has it's benefits! I feel like you would like it, i will do a post later! xx
