✨ SHE WAS SO SURPRISED!!! ✨🥹🎉
Now that the secret is officially OUT, I can finally show you what we traveled to South Carolina to create! 😍
After celebrating JaFonda’s 50th Birthday with dinner at Ruth’s Chris, her family had one more surprise waiting for her — a beautiful Dessert & Drinks Celebration! 🥂🧁✨
Her husband, sisters, and mom reached out to me to help bring it all together, and y’all…this one was extra special. 🥹❤️
This is another of multiple celebrations we have been a part of for this family, and along the journey, we went from client and decorator to FAMILY. 🥰 They told me I’m officially their “family planner & decorator” now, and I will gladly accept that title! 🤗❤️
There is something so special about being invited back into a family’s milestone moments again and again. The birthdays, celebrations, surprises…to know that when it’s time to celebrate, they trust me to help make it beautiful means more than they know. 🥹🥰
And seeing JaFonda walk in completely surprised made the trip, the planning, the balloons and every single detail worth it! 😍
A huge shoutout to For The Love of Cake for the beautiful cupcakes and custom cookies! 🧁🍪 LaShawn understood the assignment and helped us carry the theme right down to the dessert table! 👏🏽✨
Happy 50th Birthday, JaFonda! 🥂🖤🤎✨ And thank you to the entire family for continuing to trust Events & Designs by Ashley Marie with your special moments.
At this point, I guess y’all are stuck with me. 😂🥰❤️
✨ As Always, Stay Blessed & Celebrate! ✨
