There are many milestone birthdays to celebrate but why not celebrate any birthday - in particular your 23rd!  Emily is a med student and soon her education and career will limit time with family and friends so her family planned an amazing night for this very special young woman.  The inspiration for Emily’s party  - she is elegant and natural.  The elegant linens were “Nu Silk Forest Green” and “Birch Tree White”.  The natural elements were wooden chargers on the dining tables, magnolia leaves, and an abundance of flowers (roses, white gerber daisies, and Cabernet ranunculus) placed in a variety of small glass vases.  Guests enjoyed wonderful passed appetizers and cocktails at their family home.  When it was time for dinner, guests walked a path lit with fairy lights in glass bottles to the house next door!  You felt as if you were dining in the trees.

​

Emily was surrounded by people near and dear to her at a beautifully dressed estate table with each guest's name hand written on a magnolia leaf.  The menu reflected her elegance and natural side as well - grilled beef tenderloin, Mediterranean chicken breast, grilled vegetables, basil olive potatoes, steamed green beans and a watermelon heirloom tomato salad.  After dinner guests took the lit path back to her home to sing Happy Birthday, enjoy a special toast from her Dad, eat cake and celebrate with lots of love.
