I love candy and so does a client of mine. When she called and said that she was moving into her summer house, christening her daughter and that same daughter was celebrating her first birthday party all in one weekend, I knew that it was time to throw a soiree and candy was the perfect inspiration.

We started with modern inspiration and the bold colorway of my favorite candies, "Good and Plenty". I chose pucci' esque linens and clear chairs for the guest to sit and mingle. I chose gorgeous flowers from the Boston Flower Market in shades of pink, purple, lavender and fuscia. I knew that they would pop against the bold black and white linens and modern furniture. I layed out a fabulous candy bar filled with some of my favorites, including both "Good and Plenty" and "Pop Rocks". I got all of the details done just as the first guests started to arrive. Perfect timing.

Happy Birthday Coco. I hope that you had a heck of a time.
