💫Last night I hosted a 25th Birthday Dinner for my daughter Victoria.
🇫🇷I planned a French bistro style dinner at home with all the details she would love.
Some of my favourite details.
🥖Fresh baguettes and eclairs from our local French bakery …
🌸The birthday girl carefully arranged the prettiest florals for the table but in a dramatic turn of events, we woke up to some of the hydrangeas wilted, enter a YouTube video that showed me ways of resuscitating life back into the said hydrangeas… it was truly worthy of an episode of the Pitt!
I did molds of butter in French cameo shapes and they turned out so cute. 👩🏼🍳
I lined the gift boxes with a Chinoiserie design paper (food safe) wrapped with cute ribbon. 💙
Ginormous candles from Crate and Barrel for those dinner parties that go into the night!
