A Snowy Surprise

I've been working on a project for a few weeks that has been so fun, but since it was a surprise to the guest of honor I didn't want to give anything away. Its often so sad for me to say goodbye to a couple and family after working with them for nearly a year on their wedding. The father of one of my very special past weddings contacted me to help throw a Surprise 50th birthday for his lovely wife, and I jumped at the chance to be involved with the great family again. The task was daunting considering the 4 week lead time and printed invitations a "must", but together we worked to plan a grand fiesta at an upscale Mexican bistro. I was able to pull together a lot of the fantastic vendors that worked on the wedding to create a laid-back and fun event.

Then the snow came, the morning of the party Atlanta received buckets and buckets of snow. I usually take great delight in this being a Floridian but knowing how Atlantans generally freak out in the snow I was concerned about guests and vendors cancelling left and right. I was also worried that it may be difficult to lure the birthday girl out to dinner in the snow. However, despite a few canceled guests everyone made the trek and the birthday girl was totally floored. It was such a wonderful event I will share photos and vendor information with you soon.
