In keeping with true 'Susan tradition', this party was elegant and oh so fun! It was great to see all the KC blondes and the Colorado brunettes that flew in for the event.
Initially, it was supposed to be a surprise party. Susan's husband Johnny tried so hard to keep it a surprise but in the end, I'm glad that she figured us out because it would have been a nightmare to try to coordinate. So when Susan and I spoke party, she said she really didn't want a specific theme, just for it to be a gender friendly, red and aqua cocktail party.
Antipasti Island: I used her full kitchen island as the 'cheese board display'. Since it was a cocktail party with hors d'oeuvres only, I wanted to try to make a big impact. |
goat cheese lollipop &, prosciutto wrapped asparagus |
Some of the other hors d'oeuvres that were catered in from a local restaurant...sooo yummy! |
tortellini skewers with pesto dipping sauce |
The cake made by a very beautiful & talented gal, Rachel Sexton... this girl can do it everything! I gave her the colors and style and she worked her magic! |
Susan & Johnny |
Happy 40th Suz! Love you always!
A special thank you to Melanie of Scout for taking all these magnificent pictures...if not for you, all I'd have is my iPhone pics! (I seriously need to learn how to operate my big fancy camera)
