Dinner For 8

Dinner For 8 Please....

Surprising your wife with a dinner with her closest family and friends for her birthday is quite the gift. 



So having the pleasure of making it all come to life for Sasha was an enjoyment. 

Of course chooses a simple color and he chose to do everything in black. However, I convinced him adding the color blue would be all the wow. 



For the decor I opted for two similar but a bit different centerpieces. 




Along custom hand painted lettering on each table, on top of each charger was a patterned napkin under glitter take out containers. 










In this design I again used paper flowers, very budget friendly. Candles let up the table as guests also got to enjoy some sweets before their meal as candy was on each table. 









The cake also tied in very well with the theme. It was a red velvet cake had hints of blue and black which went perfect. 



Let's just say Sasha was very pleased with what her husband had done, and when she walked in the door it was no surprise the party was for her. 






Thanks to Cakes 2 Envy for the dessert. 

Creating a Henri Bendel Inspired Celebration...

Let's face it some of us girls are just material girls who love fun fabulous things.
 
Henri Bendel is fabulous boutique known for its signature brown and white strips. 

We thought how cute would it be to create a Henri Bendel Inspired Bridal Shower!!!



Invitations of course would be the start to letting guests know the fabulousness in store. 










Decorate a beverage tray with brown and white striped fabric and serve champagne. 

No event is complete without a fabulous dessert table. 




Adding a pop of color to the table decor will really wow your guests. 
Lastly, guests will leave with their own mini faux Henri Bendel Bag!!! 












Columbus Bridal Cafe Launch Event

     Columbus Bridal Cafe - Launch Event 

Having a business idea is some many people have. Having a business idea and putting the wheels in motion is something totally different. 
So, when I decided to create Columbus Bridal Cafe I went round and round with the thought of having a resource for brides and the would they visit the site and what have yous.Then I started asking myself; Do you see yourself doing  anything else besides events and wedding in the next five years? The answer was no. 



So the choice was simple, create a local wedding resource website and advertise other business as I would like my own wedding business to be advertised. This launch event was very important to me because it not only represented a new business venture but a new chapter in my own life. 
So everyone who took the time to come out and show their support was very much appreciated.

Welcome To Hollywood.....

WHERE STARS ARE MADE!!!

Celebrity Style Events & an Hollywood themed party hand in hand right, so we super delighted to plan an 8th birthday party for the Taylor family. 

A week before the event is when all the magic began to happen. 

Custom "junk" centerpieces were made. This is a new centerpiece style we have been trying here at Celebrity Style Events. We take several ideas of the events theme & put them all in one fabulous centerpiece. 


The finished product turned out fabulous & it added a great element to the tables. We wanted to focus on the birthday girl; Asiah being a star. So lots of stars were used during this event. 

A trend in events this year is sequin. So we were very excited to use sequin tablecloths. 

Five different centerpieces were used including stars, our custom Hollywood "centerpieces", balloon bouquets, feathers & vintage cameras. 

The vintage cameras added a old hollywood touch to the event. 


Another special touch that was added to this event was custom lettering. Including the birthday girls name: Asiah, and "Hollywood" for the candy buffet which were both custom painted. 

Lastly, no Hollywood event is complete without a red carpet & photo backdrop. 




Thanks to Jameelah - Event Assistant. Driving Park Rec Center & The Taylor Family!! 

Pretty Girls Really Do Rock!!!

Pretty Girls Rock!!!! 


We had the pleasure of planning a 3rd Birthday Party for the White Family. Which was
 "Pretty Girls Rock" Themed 


We wanted to keep the event trendy yet for the younger crowd but still with a fabulous touch. 


Sequin tablecloths were the base for the table design. Followed by black and pink fun shaped square chargers. Napkins were customized by adding pink and black ribbon around them. Another cool touch was instead of a traditional candy buffet - cases with with candy were lined on the tables.  


A thicker tulle with sparkles in it was laid in the center. I love this tulle it really adds a great touch to kid birthday parties. Custom "Pretty Girl Rock" signs and black letter "C" on pink pillars added another fabulous touch as well as balloon bouquet centerpieces. 


A Pretty Girl cant Rock without a glam fairy who was on hand to powder all the little girls noses, and tattoos for the boys. 

At the end glam bags were given to each guest thanking them for attending. 

It was very fun and loved the creativity it brought to create this event. 




Thanks to The White Family. Event assistant Jameelah & Columbus Parks & Recreation.

Lakeside Rustic Styled Shoot

It was a hot yet fabulous Sunday morning on the lake as we began shooting.
During our first styled shoot a rustic theme was decided and the lake as a backdrop was such a fabulous touch.
Our Bride; Brandi we wanted her to be a studding yet casual bride that would inspire brides to be to have fun on their wedding day.
The decor was rustic and eco friendly with simple touches that added a amazing touch. Like chalkboard placecards in leaf place card holders, keylime creme soda, pears and more...

A Fabulous Graduation Celebration!!!

I had the pleasure of planning a graduation celebration for the Ruffin Family. 
They spared no expense to make sure the graduate knew just how proud of them they were!!! 

Graduating from Pickerington High School the client wanted to keep the theme within the school colors. However, they wanted to add a fabulous touch to the celebration. 













Client also wanted a head table so that the graduates top influences would be celebrated as well. Each of them were greeted with custom gift boxes filled with lots of goodies as a way of showing his thanks.

 
Each table included a custom favor box, and inspiration cards



The cake table was a sight to see with two custom cakes and large photos of the graduate.
