There is something quite intoxicating to me about the sounds of clinking flatware and stemware; the low, happy sounds of friends (old and new) relaxing and chatting; mood-setting music softly strumming in the background; the smells of delicious food being served, mixed with candles burning, the scent of a season in the air; the vision of soft light, smiles; the visual of beautifully...almost artfully, presented settings and food. A dinner party is an all-encompassing sense-provoking experience.
I wanted these young adults to know that this evening was unique, special and just for them!
My friend and I identified a general look she identified with most, discussed a budget and I was off to the races! I wanted to make it on the more formal side of things but still maintain some whimsy and youthfulness.
I think they enjoyed it and it was a delight to see them all decked out and listen to their party as we helped to serve them their courses!
