Getting Ready for a Masquerade!


Here is what we have been working on the past few weeks.....We have a Masquerade party coming up. Raina's brother designed the invitations - don't they look great!!

The Manzanita branches are probably one of my favorite things...they look so cute.

Vases we will be putting candles in and using to line the stage and piano.


Here are the masks we will be using for the pew ends with some
fabric, pearls, and a peacock feather.

Large Vase we will use at the entrance table.

A close up of the vase and Raina showing you her wedding ring :)

Amanda's Masquerade

Amanda's Sweet Sixteen Masquerade Party was on Saturday. This party was a Christian based party and they had a purity ceremony at a church to present her with her purity ring and share what that meant. It was a very sweet ceremony. Below are some photos of the ceremony decorations. They had a dinner reception after at a different venue and everyone came dressed fancy with really fun masks.

The piano was one of our favorite things...Raina did a great job setting it up with
fabric, pearls, and tiered candles. It looked so good with the lights dimmed.


Happy Sweet 16th Amanda!
