OVERVIEW
My sister and I decided to do something special for our mom's 57th birthday, which happened to be our parents' 35th wedding anniversary as well. We managed to put the party together with the help of our brothers and our husbands, of course. And we were so grateful for everyone who showed up to share such a special day, and our parents' reaction was priceless. It was just wonderful, and definitely worth all the work planning and putting the party together. This is actually a late post. I should've posted this almost a year ago :)
Anyways, we thought a rustic and vintage themed party would be appropriate and just beautiful. We love how soft laces are and how beautiful they look, and mixing it with some roughness details of rustic elements, such as wood or logs, would be just perfect. To set the tone and theme of the party, we sent out simple invitations printed on kraft paper, and the invitation wordings in a typewriter font.
DECOR, FOOD & FAVORS
We wanted a simple sit-down dinner and a little bit of dancing after. So, we decided to hold the party at a nearby hotel's ballroom. We had round tables with white linens and burlap table runners, and white wooden chairs set up. A dance floor can be found in the center of the ballroom as well. For the centerpieces, we had treated cut-up logs, and mason jars. We used baby's breaths and hydrangea flowers because of how soft they look. We also used laces and burlaps to add details on the centerpieces.
We also incorporated the color scheme and theme in the dessert table, the main food table, and the drink station, and the favor table. For the dessert table, we had a few candies and some of my mom's favorite Filipino desserts. We placed the cake on a log cake stand, and also placed a vintage suitcase and more burlap table runners to add details. The main food table had Filipino dishes, fruits, and of course, the lechon. We also set up mason jar beverage dispensers and mason jar mugs for the drink station.
The guests took home small potted succulents wrapped in burlap, which we set up on a table with a vintage suitcase and more cut up logs and mason jars.
