Tonight is a rare time where I get to sit down with a cup of decaf and a bit of chocolate. The kids are in bed and the hubby is out! These pictures came from an event my family had in honor my mothers birthday. For 5 weeks my house became a little sweat shop, full of crystals, mercury vases, flower vases, black and white pictures, and tons of fresh flowers!
50 is a milestone. Some women are apprehensive about approaching 50, some dread it, many embrace it. I wanted to make sure my mother fell in the last category. She has aged with grace(no pun intended). I wanted to celebrate her life, past, present and future in style. I thought long and hard, I wanted the event to be elegant, incorporating colors and theme's that were near and dear to her heart.
The decorations were fun, and the guests truly blessed my mother and our family. Guitar playing has been a part of my mother's life since she was little. We were able to hire a Flamenco player to come surprise my mom and set the mood.
The best part came when all the guests left and the entire family started pushing each other in the pool!
Happy Birthday Momma! Cheers to 50 splendid years!
For those of you who want to know what I used here's the list: 24" sandblasted manzanita branches, fuchsia crystals, topiary place card holders(to hold pictures that spanned all 50 years), mercury candles, hydrangeas, black river rock, white lights and hanging paper lanterns to set the mood.
Let me know if you are looking to order these online. I would be happy to point you in the right direction.
