I designed and threw a party for Sara’s birthday back in December. Since she is a Christmas baby, I wanted to design something completely un-Christmas. I went with pink, grey, white and glitter for the palate incorporating white paper Japanese lanterns and pink plates!
I started the design working with circles in shades of pink and grey. I took about half of them, hit them with some spray adhesive and then covered them in a fine glitter. I attached them to double-faced satin ribbon in grey and pink and created a chandelier over the table by hanging them with the Japanese lanterns.
Since I collect mercury glass, and it is in fact silver and matched the overall design, I incorporated it into the table. Everything sat on a pretty taffeta tablecloth in a neutral taupe color.
I combined white china plates with pink salad plates and napkins for a more interesting place setting and to bring in some color to the table.
Sara is a Capricorn, so the natural drink choice is also a Capricorn! Its a champagne drink made with Rose champagne, cumquats and cumquat sanding sugar rimmed champagne glasses. I really like to use coupe champagne classes for rimming for a larger surface area for the sugar.
I tucked dark pink flowers into the candles along the middle of the table. Their dark contrast was lovely against the lighter table cloth and candle light.
