Being the ripe old age of 41 years old, I have startling little wisdom to share but I do have a few tidbits. One of those is celebrating a birthday with gusto. I celebrated all month long doing a variety of things but last year I decided to do something a little different with a flower arranging class party. I threw it together a bit last minute but it was perfectly laid back and fun.
When I stumbled into Rebecca Shepard's floral studio, I was so smitten with the gorgeous wall mural (painted by Gaia Street art), I knew it would be the perfect spot. Of course I had no idea how talented and just down right cool Rebecca Shepard herself would be until that day but I can assure you she is all that and more.

Naturally we needed some refreshments! I brought some bellini bar fixings, champagne, snacks. Rounding out the nibbles were these beautiful flower cupcakes made by Nikki Berry.

A couple hours and a couple of bottles of champagne later, we all went home with some gorgeous arrangements and a head full of tips to create new ones in the future. Happy Birthday to me!
This looks like my dream birthday party! How fun!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I had a great time plus I learned so much from Rebecca. I won't be opening up a floral shop anytime soon but I feel so much better educated on how to create something lovely on my own now.
DeleteStunning arrangements and such a unique way to celebrate your special day with girlfriends!! Belated "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! This was right up my alley. The joys of being a grown up is you do things like this!
