70 Years Young - Frank Sinatra at The Graycliff 2.24.13

Start spreading the news...
 
A special celebration to celebrate a special man turning 70 years young.
 
How else do you celebrate 70 years of life? Well, we surrounded this special guy with all his favorite things; Family, Friends, Food and Frank Sinatra. Lot of F's there...we had a Fabulous time. 
 
Details.
Looking through my storage, I found a few old Sinatra records and some of them turned out to be the perfect guestbook.
 
 
This silver microphone and Frank's oil painting were a perfect find and made awesome props for the escort card table.
 
Invitations consisted of 3 layer stack cards in black, silver and white.  

 
 
Escort cards were adorned with the NYC skyline and a caricature of Frank Sinatra.
 
 
Guestbook Sign. I love this. So true. Perfect fit.


Tabletop.
We opted for a Hollywood Glam/50's concept and created Ostrich Feather centerpieces nested on trumpet vases filled with jelly fillers and lit via white foralytes to simulate soft spot lighting. The lit white feathers popped over the black tuxedo linens. 
 
 
The simple table numbers - translated in Italian.


 
Mangia!
6x6 white Menu cards displayed over silver beaded charger plates.
 
 
Keeping the entire 'Frank Sinatra' vibe, mini Jack Daniels bottles were the perfect favor.
Who doesn't know 'Jack and Coke' was Frank's favorite drink?
 
 
There couldn't be a better cake for the occasion. Thanks to Joanne at Palermo Bakery for designing this yummy cannoli-filled confection.

Shiann's Winter Sweet 16 - The Tides Estate 1.27.13

I started planning a design concept with this lovely family back in September. From the 1st email I received from Shiann's mom, I knew that this was going to be a fun Sweet 16 to plan.
You've heard the saying "time flies when you're having fun", I wish I had the power to freeze time just a tad bit - this family was just so fun and a pleasure to work with!
 
 Their intentions were heart-set on giving their daughter an amazing evening, a Sweet 16 party that  presented her personality and one that she would never forget.
 
Meet sweet Shiann
