Celebrations for Mum’s Special Birthday – A Pop-Up Picnic Celebration Commemorating 6 Decades of Debbie xo Saturday, March 2nd, 2019
Mum’s 60th Birthday weekend was a really special one. I know that it’s one which I will always remember and I’m sure that it’s also one which my Mum, Dad husband and two boys (with their age not too sure) will remember also!
Anyone that knows me personally, or for those who follow the blog, will know just how much I love and adore styling and party planning! It’s totally, “my thing”. I don’t know what it is, but it’s in my blood. I get so excited (and sometimes for bigger events, a wee bit stressed, eek!), but this one was so perfect in every way. It was stress free, minus a tiny bit of spilt vase water and a quick dash to the dryer (thank goodness for events at home I say!) The colour scheme of pink and white was just perfection and Mum loved it so much! She was super surprised. There were most definitely tears, but happy tears of course as she walked in!
Should You Invest in a Professional Photographer to Capture Your Events?
My answer to that question is most definitely, a big fat “YES!” Even though we only captured the styling, my trusty iPhone and older Sony camera just won’t do the styling the justice that it needs.. not to mention my back luck with technology! I took some photos today actually to try and msg them to myself. I should have clicked send first as no sooner did I minimise the msg for a second, they flashed up before my very eyes and deleted once again! Technology and I do not mix, hence, I love a photographer who I know that I can trust. My dear friend Lacee, who I had the pleasure of meeting second time around at uni, she has captured a number of special occasions since the middle of last year, and mum’s birthday styling was no exception!

The most beautiful styling set up with rose gold and pink tones. <3 xo
Pretty in Pink
This was the gorgeous place setting. Dad’s is displayed here. We purchased our personalised sugar cookies from 2Chefsandacupcake. We opted for the white and pink and purchased six cookies in total, one for each place setting. <3 xo
The pretty set-up was done in conjunction with the beautiful Alana of Grounded Picnics. I received the two tables, one picnic table and a cake table, as well as the beautiful white peacock chair, which was an absolute hit with my “Queen” – my mum, Debbie. She loved the whole set up. Her reaction was so beautiful. She burst in to happy tears walking in to see everything, which was so wonderful.
