Shawn came to us with a desire to have her party be an amazing celebration. I had designed a 50th birthday for a local song writer a couple of years ago and Shawn read Sandy's statement about how "she felt like Oprah!" What a great complement that was to me and I know that Shawn wanted that same feeling. Surprise, shock, love, and attention to detail.

Shawn was drawn to a linen from BBJ Linen Company (a sample I had shown her in our first meeting). Over the next few months, the entire party emerged from that one fabric and Shawn's love of Cherry and Turquoise mixed. Shawn is also a self proclaimed "foody" and her menu was one of the most extensive I've had yet. Chef, Lisa Coffman with Unique Flavors, was hired to handle Shawn's catering and also a dessert bar that was to die for! Designs in Paper helped me recreate the linen pattern for all of the paper elements I used in the design. From the invitations to the dessert and favor tags. We commissioned Jay Quals for the 4 tiered custom birthday cake that sat center stage on the dessert bar. With a red carpet arrival, Jason Davis provided the cool turquoise lighting with in the vintage space and Tim Lake's 8 piece band, Skyline Drive, kept the guests moving.

Enjoy the pictures from this fun filled celebration and thank you Shawn for allowing us to help you celebrate in style!
