Paris Birthday Party




For my mom, Sidnie's, 70th I planned a Paris theme luncheon for 20 women. This is the dessert bar.




One of the table settings. I decorated popcorn boxes and used them for the salads.

               Antique bottles adorned with roses and flags.   Favors bag with soap hand made by Tara Tarbet



                   Another table setting. I hung a chandelier with beautiful ribbons from the ceiling fan.

Guests wrote birthday wishes and pinned them to the mannequin.




Entrance


Details of the front door. Silk flower with ribbons and Paris picture found online.








When I took the cake to my mom for us to sing to her- I tilted the cake and it slipped. See picture below.



The cake is from Dear Lizzy http://www.mydearlizzy.com/
.
I hot glued the trim on the cake stand to go with the decor. Peeled right off after.
The Photos were taken by Kayla Morris


These where made with dyed coffee filters, tissue paper and cubcake liners.



I used big tissue balls, tulle, and ribbons for the window. Even put up brown linen drapes.
The party was wonderful and my mom felt adored and loved.
I would enjoy hearing comments. If you have questioned about how to make something just ask. 
I will add the invite later- it was perfect for getting the guests excited for the party.
