30th Anniversary Party

I have been such a lazy blogger this summer! But I do have to share a very special tablescape with you that was for my 30th Anniversary Party. The party was extra special because it was given by my two daughters!
There were several inspirations for the tablescape. First, the traditional gift for the 30th anniversary is Pearls, so naturally there were lots of pearls. Then because my fine china looks like this
and my dining room wallpaper has cherry blossoms on it, my daughters decided to go with a pink blossom theme.
Here is the invitation, which has pink quince blossoms on it.

They made customized cherry blossom monogrammed party picks, which were almost too pretty to use!

The Fine Line Market had the cutest monogrammed cake topper and napkins!

My daughter got a cake covered with cherry blossoms and put pearls all around as well as pictures of our wedding. See the cherry blossoms on the wallpaper, too?


The table was covered in a new pink tablecloth with a lace topper from our reception 30 years ago! The centerpiece was a vase filled with pearls, gold marbles and pink acrylic jewels holding cherry blossoms.


The mantle was decorated with more pearls and pictures.
We had a wonderful time and I was very proud of my daughters! I will be sharing this with

    Happy Belated (very) Anniversary! All the cherry blossoms are beautiful. You are very blessed to have your daughters. They did a great job.

    I'm sorry it took me so long, but I am following now. Going back to see what else I missed.

Thank you so much for all your comments! I really do treasure them all. If I don't respond to all of them immediately, it is because I work full time and share a computer at home. Thanks again!!!
