Party Accents

I finally got some pictures of the decorations we made for Mom's party. I took a really great picture of Mom, probably from her early 20's, and created a Warhol-inspired graphic in 4 colorways for the cover of the invitation. I chose one of the portraits that coordinated well with the colors of the various rooms and used that as the centerpiece for all the custom designed accents. I didn't want them to be too juvenile but definitely fun and a bit whimsical. There was a scalloped "plaque" hung from white satin ribbons for the front door and little matching medallions adorning the floral centerpieces.


We hand cut and assembled a charming little garland for each room. In the dining room we hung one from the hutch, in the kitchen it was over a window, with satin ribbons, a few matching balloons and lots of curling ribbon. In the living room the fireplace mantel was adorned but I used tufts of tulle in 3 different colors instead of the balloons since they were down low where too many rug rats could get at them.


More little signs - similar to our cupcake toppers - made a nice accompaniment for the candles on the cake.


Last but not least everyone got to take away a little favor. Part treat and part tribute to the guest of honor, the bags were filled with mini Milky Way bites - Mom's favorite!
