This past Thursday, I had the pleasure of planning a very special party for Jillian. Jillian just graduated from Rockford High School and was turning 18 and her dear mother contacted me to to plan something wonderful for her daughter.
This party was particularly fun to plan because Jillian's mom gave me freedom to design whatever I wanted. Since it was going to take place at the Egypt Valley Country Club pool, I decided to play off the turquoise of the pool and add pops of raspberry and tangerine to create something bright and summery. Here are the results:
Guests were greeted by a pathway lined with beautiful pomander balls. Aren't they so bright and cheery!
The low-tops were covered in Wineberry Bengaline linens from BBJ Linen. And the tangerine chair pads came from the Topaz collection at La Tavola Fine Linens. Special thanks to Special Events Rental for the great furniture collections as well as tables and chairs.
Guests were able to assemble little baggies of candy to take home. We even had a lollipop logo designed for the stickers.
Every graduation/birthday party at a pool needs beach towels as the party favor! What a hit these were!
We served yummy food to all of the guests. Mini burgers with the works for toppings. French fry cones. Ice cream sundaes. Signature drinks called, 'The Jillian.' Everything that 18 year olds love!
