when one of my dear friends, nina decided to host a luncheon for her birthday i knew it was going to be fabulous. she's all girly and glam and it was no surprise that it hugely influenced her party decor concept. she had envisioned lots of flowers in pinks and oranges with a punch of lime green.
since nina's hands were full with her new business and caring for her twin boys, i helped her coordinate and plan party strategies with her. we bounced off ideas ~ we shared pinterest inspirations and texted back and forth nightly on different party details. we had a blast planning, cake tasting ~ the whole process was just pure fun!

it was a perfect gorgeous saturday. she served pate with crackers and fruits to start when guests arrived. nina just recently opened an online gem shop, PBC CLOSET, so we all shopped and perused her home studio/boutique. it was the perfect time to catch up with old friends, shop and sip endless mimosas!
the huge white vase with lanterns was nina's idea and inspired by this image. it gave such a gorgeous impact to the tablescape and overall party decor. grocery-bought flowers beautifully arranged and bunched together lent a luxurious expensive look even if they were not. we kept the flowers in the same color scheme and scattered in the middle of the table in varied vase heights, just to give it a more casual less uniform look. the lovely ruffled rosette tablecloth and ghost clear chairs was the perfect blend of modern and girly. i just loved those mixed together!
she hired a chef and small staff to cook and serve us during lunch. we were treated to delicious stuffed cremini mushrooms and mixed greens salad to start. followed with grilled shrimp linguine in lemon butter sauce with garlic bread which were absolutely yummy. then a refreshing coconut (the celebrant's favorite!) sorbet with berries and freshly baked ginger snaps were served to end the meal. then the final dessert treat for the guests were the individual two-tiered mini cakes in either vanilla butter cake or chocolate cake!
each guest get to take home a dainty bangle from nina's shop, PBC Closet as party favors!
as nina opened gifts, we stayed around and nibbled on macarons from
mon cherie and chocolate chip cookies from tiny boxwoods!
it was truly an unforgettable birthday party and we were just as delighted to be a part of it. thanks nina for having us!
