Pearl white balloons & white roses

There is no greater feeling than seeing the happiness on a friends face that has a beam of excitement. Saturday was just this: A surprise birthday party with white balloons, white roses & tiny bites to eat in great company. My brother and I planned the menu and I’d say, we successfully pulled it off and was perfect for the occasion. The atmosphere was perfect- not too stiff, totally relaxed but still very chic.

A great day and evening where our day began at a lounge bar with a few bottles of bubbly and a surprised birthday girl who had no idea we were there. Laughter and good times was then moved to our place where the party continued in the midst of finger foods and white decorations. Ps. I will also share the recipes soon. I hope this post will inspire you with dinner party decor and ways to serve different foods.
