Thinking of Spring...

The weather here in Santa Barbara has been so warm, honestly it feels like summer.  All the Jasmine are budding and getting ready to explode.  Our front yard is going to smell amazing in a week or two.  The warmth has me thinking of Spring and the lovely parties I have had the pleasure of creating.  I thought I would share a favorite with you.



This was a girls birthday luncheon at a local restaurant.  We took over the place, moved out a lot of their things and moved in my fun props.  This was the entrance that greeted the guests.


There were beautiful fans for the ladies.



The restaurant has the most beautiful solarium that we moved my furniture and props into.  We also brought in lots of trees and green plants.



The details tucked in here and there were adorable...





The centerpieces were each different.  This one I used my Mom's antique silver tea set.



This centerpiece had a chintz tea cup, silver tea pot and a cloche over a mini arrangement.


Sometimes you can't even see the vase, I pack so may flowers into them.  I don't know why I take so much time


picking the right container.



This lovely lady is a vintage candelabra that I wired flowers onto for a bar arrangement.




The party favors were beautiful Asian tea sets wrapped in fun bamboo boxes.  The cake was in the shape of a tea pot which I set on my bird bath and surrounded it with flowers.


Wishing you beautiful flowers filled dreams...
