Luxe 40th Birthday Soirée | Purple, Pink & Gold

We planned this gorgeous luxe 40th birthday soirée in purple, pink and gold sometime last year and again time has just not been on my side to blog about it. I loved everything about this 40th birthday party. What makes it even more wonderful is that I had an amazing couple who believed in me and trusted me with their vision.

I know the current trend is gloss tables / naked tables etc without tablecloths but sometimes gorgeous fabrics just add that extra touch of elegance to any event. Our table decor comprised of large and luxurious flower arrangements. We love candles so crystal candle sticks and crystal candle holders were an absolute must to create the right ambience. Elegant gold rimmed crockery and cutlery adorned the tables adding our touch of gold.

My clients wanted 2 rows of long tables to accommodate all the guests thus we had a large arrangement alternating with candelabras. Unfortunately our venue layout was not working out to that style thus we had to split up the decor set up that’s why you see a beautiful floral arrangement accompanied by a candelabra. I was personally not too thrilled about having two tall contrasting elements next to each other but in this case it worked out quite well.

To add to the glamorous look my client was going for, we specifically played with crystal vases and candle sticks. Once the lights are dimmed and the candles are lit, you achieve a spectacular glimmering effect with crystal decor. Mood lights are always a must at any night event – without it consider your event missing that touch of wow.

Photo and Welcome Area and Cake Display

We created a personalised three piece backdrop for this amazing client for when guests arrived. Photos were taken right in front that beautiful background. Attention to details are what sets us apart from the rest so we ensured that every element of this event was well thought of.

Our cake display featured our popular circular backdrop with a gorgeous balloon garland in purple, pink and gold. An all white dance floor was a must and we finished that off with a gold vinyl of my client’s initals.
