Tropical Lunch

These are the pics from the Tropical Lunch I hosted for my group of friends last Sunday. To see invite pics and the full story on the event go here. 

Earthy hessian and glittery golds- The perfect mix to create an afternoon of tropical glamour!

A bright pink flamingo was the star of the show. We used the flamingo clipart on all the artwork for this event.

We had a great afternoon catching up and munching on good food. 

We made these place cards with the help of some bright yellow lemons.

Little fruit bowls for guests to snack on.

We made these flamingo straw flags for the barber striped straws. 

Coconuts and a pineapple added just the right touch to the tropical theme.

We added bright pink and white flowers to this hessian bunting. We loooved the result.
