Princess Party for the Young at Heart

Gowns, crowns, and castles too...

This event was planned to welcome our new Senior Officer's wife (also known as a SOW), who is a true princess at heart.  The challenge was planning a princess brunch while maintaining a sophisticated atmosphere. 
    I started with a palette of soft pastel pinks and yellows and added lots of sparkles, which is a necessity for any princess.  Upon arrival, guests visited the beautiful array of "Royal jewels" and dressed the part with glittering tiaras. The ladies mingled on a patio decorated with glistening diamond studded pennants and enjoyed an elegant brunch complete with a sparkling champagne bar, which included tropical fruit purees and garnishes to customize their own princess potion.  The dessert table featured whimsical strawberry mouse, chocolate covered fairy wands, fairy dusted cupcakes, and enchanted candy.

    However, the highlight of this event was the entertainment, a castle bounce house.  We truly embraced the princess at heart with this castle.  The guests still rave about the thrill of tossing their shoes aside and jumping the afternoon away in the adults only bounce house.
