Party like Gatsby

This is another post from late late year that I'm just finding time to post today. We were approched to set up a ball for the UKZN final year optometry students based around the movie, The Great Gatsby. Having done the 1925 novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald as a school book review, I was all too trilled to take on the challenge. 

We alternated these glitzy napkin bands with the black bow tie ones below. 

Together with stocks & chrysanthemums, more than a dozen roses were used for each of these all white centre pieces. 

We created these fun photo props together with a photo shoot backdrop and some gold tiffany chairs for the students to have fun with.

All dressed up in B & W

After a month long of fasting, the day of Eid was finally here. We dressed our Eid Dinner table in Black and White patterns and stripes. This year, my sister and I decided to create an unconventional look using colours that are not common at Eid. Glass drink bottles, chalkboard signs and blooming white rose centrepieces. Have a look...

We used this trusted Birdcage as the sign for the Treats table. Loooves this!

Glass drink bottles all prettied up with labels and black satin ribbon.

B & W paper straws! We just had to. See our blog for purchase details of these and other colours too.

Snacks in glass jars on the Treats table

We used a lace patterned paper napkin and tied it with a white stitched edge ribbon and a little 'Eid Mubarak' sign.

Chalkboard menu!

The centrepiece- fluted glasses with white roses under each and  white candles tied with ribbon on top.

  We moved our drinks station to this sweet little table by Custom Carpentry for a photoshoot.
