celebrate | with an elegant photo shoot

Finally!  The party pictures are here (with details below)!

My friend Wendy and I planned this pretty celebration for her daughter’s 15th birthday.  After an evening of brainstorming, we settled on a subtle color scheme of grays and pinks.  And we decided to make the entire party one big photo shoot.  What 15 year-old doesn’t want her picture taken?  Did somebody say “F-A-C-E-B-O-O-K photo-op”?  Ha!

Wendy made elegant party hats.
 
Parisian macarons made by me; scrumptious cupcakes made by Wendy.
Glamorous!
The birthday girl. 
Gorgeous!
My favorite photo progression! 
Peekaboo!
They decorated the birthday girl.
Lexington – the dog – had to be a part of this one.
Glittery numbers and all dressed up.

The party’s over!

Here are details:

Food
– for dinner, we served plain cheese pizza, BUT to make it special, served a variety of toppings in silver  and glass dishes
– for dessert, we served homemade cupcakes and Parisian macarons, which was on display throughout the day
– pink lemonade in glass bottles
– pink and red candy in pretty bowls

Decorations
– homemade happy birthday banner (like my glittery birthday numbers)
– homemade party hats
– lots of light pink, magenta, silver and white balloons
– tons of confetti
– pink, white and gray fabric hanging as backdrop
– homemade paper flower garland
– ribbon from Hagerstown, MD ribbon factory

Activities
– all we had planned was dinner and the photo shoot (we asked the girls to bring an assortment of outfits, all in the gray//pink family)!

Props
– party hats
– antlers
– homemade canvas flags
– scarves
– rain boots
– hair accessories
– fabric balls
– large cardboard swizzle stick decorated with ribbon

Enjoy!!

till tomorrow,

Rebecca

    the one of the dog with antlers is worthy of a frame on the wall! and the one of you should be in a magazine – you're beautiful! i bet every one of those 15 year olds had a dream come true to model for the day. thank you for mentioning the cheese pizza – a good reminder that you can do simple along with fancy!
