Since my work schedule is hectic, my planning starts a month before the date of the event, as I shop in bits and peices, quite the jig-saw puzzle... (LOL!!!)
And I am quite finicky about the finesse with which the ultimate scenerio is presented. This often makes me go to great lengths to find 'The Perfect thing'.
- I chose a mix of pink and mauve this year for My Parent's anniversary celebrations.
- The card I created echoed the same color-mix
Creating the card:
- I chose a mauve colour for the card paper.
- Pulled out a leaf of self adhesive, solid golden polkas from my sticker file.
- Scouted for the perfect faux Orchids to be inserted into the card (which I managed to find at last at Nik-Nish!!)
- Used self adhesive silver alphabets for the lettering on the card.
The Set up:
- I ordered a special bouquet from the florist at New Market with a mix of mauve Orchids, baby-pink Lilies & Gerberas.
- On one of the shopping sprees, I bought a big, baby-pink spiral candle.
- And strangely on one of my official trips to Duragpur, I actually found a bottle of pink cider. Perfect for my theme... I carried it back home!!
- I raided New Market again to find a perfect set of champagne flutes...
- Last but not the least... the fresh cream- pinnaple cake from Cakes... (yummmm...) completed the table.
