We recently had the pleasure of designing and planning a 50th birthday party at a grand estate in the Kentwoodlands Hills. The woman of the hour had a short wishlist for the festivities...she wanted to feel like she was stepping into the pages of a coffee table book featuring the iconic photography of Slim Aarons complete with glamorous 1970s fashion and cocktails a plenty!
We're not gonna lie, we nailed this one with a vibrant and stylish affair that captured the glamorous lifestyle of the 1960s and 1970s. We curated an evening that transported guests into a world of retro chic reminiscent of Palm Springs in its heyday.
When we met our clients, about five weeks before the party, they had JUST completed a remodel of their pool deck & yard and wanted to show off the space while they celebrated. So we worked our QUICK MAGIC and sourced some retro-inspired rentals giving the party space a mid-century vibe including rattan furniture, colorful umbrellas and potted palms. We designed and styled a custom welcome drink experience as well as a poolside Bungalow Bar.
Dressed in the epitome of 70s Poolside Glam attire, each guest added their own flair to the glamorous theme. The entrance was festively styled to mimic the grandeur of a palm tree-lined hotel driveway, complete with a whimsical golf cart ride up the hill to a welcoming + refreshing Lemon Drop Martini Shot.
As the sunset painted the sky in hues of pink and orange, DJ Ryan Lucero set the perfect tone and had everyone grooving poolside. The ambiance was alive with laughter and chatter, mingling with the nostalgic beats of the 70s.
Of course, no memorable party is without a touch of unexpected fun. As the night progressed, a playful chaos ensued with some guests taking an impromptu dip in the pool, much to the amusement of everyone present.
Culinary Eye and Bar Cart catered to every culinary indulgence, serving up delicious bites that tantalized taste buds and perfectly crafted cocktails that added a touch of sophistication to the celebration.
This 50th birthday party encapsulated the essence of an era where style, elegance, and revelry converged seamlessly. It was a night to remember, where the spirit of Slim Aarons' timeless photography and the allure of 1970s fashion came to life in a celebration fit for a queen.
