Anniversary Dinner by Lisa Vorce and Aaron Delesie
This anniversary party is 10 times more gorgeous than my wedding. But that pretty much goes for everything Lisa Vorce of Oh How Charming gets her talented little hands on. Add to that some photography by Aaron Delesie and you basically have the recipe for a perfect event. So although I know you are going to love this little affair, I am warning you…jealousy may occur. From the insanely gorgeous white florals that R. Jack Balthazar crafted to the paper goods by Tiny Pine Press and Yellow Owl Workshop celebrating an around the world theme, every little detail tucked into this party is SO steal worthy.

From Lisa Vorce, of Oh How Charming!…
This was a 30th anniversary party for the parents of one of the bridesmaids of a former client. We had such a blast with her at the wedding, and were delighted to be called to produce the anniversary party for her parents. Tracy and her brother Teddy wanted to throw a “travel themed” soiree for their parents. We set the tone with an airline ticket inspired invitation by Tiny Pine Press where we asked the guests to “escape” for an evening of great food and great friends.
I ordered vintage luggage tags from eBay and used them to create the escort cards, table numbers, and details for our wraps for the evening. The menu was a global 9 course extravaganza created by Tracy, Teddy, and Jerry from The Food Matters. It was one of the most extraordinary menus I’ve seen!
For the decor — we paired La Tavola’s natural linens with some custom skirted linens I had sewn. I love the femininity of the skirted linens. They hang so beautifully. On the tables, we used vintage silver spoon napkin rings, hand painted stand-up menus from Yellow Owl Workshop, and mother of pearl flatware. R. Jack Balthazar did an amazing job of pairing fluffly white peonies with maiden hair fern, mercury glass, and grapewood. Was such a stunning combination. I asked them to do a “statement” piece on the center table of the dinner party, and they did the most amazing display of clear glass, mercury glass, and candlelight. It was so gorgeous! R. Jack also did stunning lounge set-ups for me complete with transfer ware vessels that had a magical glow. Barker Decor finished off the details by providing ambient lighting that mimicked a gorgeous candlelight glow. As guests dined under the stars, Supernova rocked contemporary tunes on their strings. It was a perfect evening!
