A Gatsby Affair

I’m finally getting around to posting my 30th Birthday Bash from this past summer. I wanted a real Gatsby affair, but on a budget. My friends Jen & John deserve the most credit for letting me borrow their gorgeous home to host the event. Jen also spent countless hours helping me plan and set up. She is the most selfless and generous person I’ve ever met and I am so lucky to know her. My other friend Deana spent hours helping us set up and introduced me to Jody who served at the event. Thank you, ladies!!!

Visit my birthday bash Pinterest board to see where I got most of of my inspiration.

It was a dreamy evening and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to enter my thirties!

One of my favorite elements at the party was a blow up movie screen projecting the Baz Luhrmann remake of Gatsby in the background.
