I am always in creative mode. It seems that I am constantly digging through the thousands of photos that fill my computers and other technology devices. Once in a while, I find photos that I have never published before. These flowers and party setting were inspired by the bouquet being thrown into the air. I used antique bouquet holders and filled them with lush mounds of Hydrangea, roses, lisianthus and my favorite, sweet pea. I then hung these bouquets over the cake and the table top arrangements which were showstoppers in an of themselves with five french tulips, one for each decade of celebration, springing from the lush mound at the center of the table.

I adore tonal and nuances of color, so it was totally appropriate that gold filled the rest of the room. It was lovely. I was an invited guest to this party. One of the 50 honored guests to celebrate with this incredible family. The party was a while ago at the Bay Club in Mattapoisett, but the photos of these details bring me right back to it. I can almost smell the sweet pea.
