Sophisticated 40th Bash. Silver, Black and White

A Black, White and Silver cocktail party The Inspired Occasion Event Managed and Styled a few weeks ago and as featured on Bellenza Blog.

Attached are a number of images from a cocktail party we put together for a client last weekend. The occasion was our client’s husband’s 40th Birthday celebration. The client chose a colour scheme of Silver, Black and White and wanted a stylish and sophisticated design. There were 25 adult guests and 6 children who attended this very intimate celebration at our client’s beautiful residence. 
 
The Inspired Occasion managed the event, organising finger food catering for both the adults and children, food service staff,  cocktail tables and stools, gas heaters, table, chair and linen hire.  In keeping with the client’s chosen theme the dessert station was styled using a uniquely crafted backdrop which  incorporated silver beading, with matching table runners, cake stands, risers and silver trays.
 
All dessert station edibles, stationery and themed items were made and designed in-house.
 
The guests were served a finger food menu with a substantial meal box, consisting of;
  
Marinated Lamb Cutlets, 
San Choi  Bow, 
Chicken and Camembert parcels, 
Stuffed Chillies, 
Falafel,

The client also requested a cake cutting table on which we placed the menu board, plates, forks and take home cake bags.
 
The dessert station was completed with two candy jars filled with Hershey’s Kisses and white chocolate raspberries with the large blackforest gateau,  which just happened to be the guest of honour’s favourite, taking centre stage.

A Dorothy the Dinosaur Tea Party - Part 1 Themeing

As featured on Les Enfants this week. The Inspired Occasion had the pleasure of styling and supplying baked item for a stylish Dorothy the Dinosaur tea party for a special little girls 3rd birthday party. With the colour pallet of yellow and green with splashes of pink and blue the designing began.

The client provided us with the invitation created by Surreal Creations who also provided the stationary items for the dessert station which included the bunting, menu cards and loot bags all of which worked well with the theme.

We choose crisp white table clothes with lemon table runners and used sage green risers for both the dessert and drinks station. 

Various risers where used on the table including cupcake stand, cake stand, various box's and cakepop tins to give the dessert station levels of interest. Along with a variety of decorative jars filled with candy adding to the overall feel of the dessert station. With table utensils wrapped in matching ribbon trimming. 

Pre Event Set-up by The Inspired Occasion

The Inspired Occasion arrived onsite the day before to commence the set up, so all that was needed the morning of the party was for us to plate up our melting moments, cake pops, macarons and cupcakes (to be featured in Part 2). Along with hanging some yellow lantern on the deck.

The miniature drink bottles again a huge hit with the children who enjoyed the novelty of filling them with Rosy Tea (Cordial) the vintage colour coordinated straws again adding to the overall theming.
