Party Recap
For those that know me, know that I’m in love with Kate Spade and her use of bold colours and patterns. She’s my hero and “inspiration” when I style a lot of my tables.
So I asked my sister in law if I can use her and het friends for my Kate Spade Inspired shoot. It was perfect as she was turning 30 and her friends just opened up their own boutique salon in the heart of Ottawa. These girls have been friends forever, so it was truly fitting to style a shoot that embodies class, style and women entrepreneurship.
The salon is beautiful. With its crisp white walls and great lighting, I didn’t have to do much to bring out the uniqueness of the salon. I kept the colour pallet bold: Fuchsia, Black, White and Gold with the stripes and polka dot patterns. I set up a dinner table for 4, using their colour station. The DJ was perfectly placed just down the table, spinning music creating a welcoming atmosphere. And the sweet table was placed on their mantel, that hung beautiful and inspiring sayings for their customers.
My most excited moment is when I rounded up my team along with the girls of Rinaldo’s. I was looking for fresh, newcomers, women entrepreneurs, that had the same spirit and drive that I do. It was a great collaboration between Montreal and Ottawa, gaining experience and creating new friendships. All these women inspiring each other was just the icing on the cake!
Speaking of cake, Cynthia from Joli Gateau did a beautiful job combining the bold colours and patterns that I love. The cupcakes from Kiki’s Creations went perfectly together, with their fuchsia icing. I created the rest of the desserts, adding patterns to the sugar cookies but keeping the cake pops on the lighter side.
The table setting was my “piece de resistance”: the flowers, the table cloth and the boxed macarons as the favors, the black candles and the DJ that was set up just down the table, spinning some music to put us in the party mood.
Grace from Grace De Castro Photography captured everything so perfectly! I’m so happy with the way this shoot turned out. I hope that my sister in law and her friends are as well.
