Surprise 50th Birthday Bash

Surpriiiiiise Doc!!  Who doesn't love a surprise?  This lucky gent had his leading lady plan this fabulous surprise celebration in honor of his 50th birthday.  Although it wasn't difficult to lure him to Slates Restaurant, she told a little white lie about a wine dinner she'd like to attend... 

The private room was bountifully draped in tropical flowers. Some of our favorite features of this event:  the incandescent lighting in the dining room, specialty black crushed table linens with large purple chargers which resembled a tropical flower, leather heart paperweights {a gift paying homage to his profession of a heart surgeon} and, of course, his fabulous birthday cake!

B is for: Blissful, Baby Shower, Brunch & BOY!

Breakfast in the Garden was the perfect setting for this family celebration. In the comfort of their home, this mommy-to-be was showered with love!  Considering "Daddy's" love of sports, this celebration was a whimsical blend of game time & baby time...

The table decor had a rustic touch with the blue denim linens & burlap table runners while the parasols in the french flower tins tied into the garden venue.  Also notice the cute vases suspended from the black chivarri chairs - these were special herbs for the baby shower favor {intended to be planted & grown, like the baby boy on the way}!  The flower arrangements added the perfect pop of color to the tables, buffet & home decor.

In the perfect setting, with the perfect people, you ask what else could possibly put this event over-the-top? Well, the menu, of course!  This decadent buffet was all home-made by the Mom and sisters of the guest of honor - I don't know about you, but my mouth waters when I peruse these pictures!  Everything from lox pops and bagels, to strawberry crepes, chocolate chip coffee cake, banana foster french toast, cucumber Mediterranean salads, crab tartlets, caesar & caprese salads.... need I say more? 

Wonderful compliments to the chef; Credit to Stems at the Palatine for the beautiful event design & flowers, RSVP Please for invitations; Frosted Cakery for the beautiful sports tiered cake.
