blanco |ˈblaŋkəʊ| The Spanish Word for White. Ex: Un Noche en Blanco : A Night in White 

My 36th birthday was incredible in every way, and I’ve continued to extend the celebration through my sweet husband’s gift: a trip to Paris Fashion Week! (Eee!!! Thank you babe!)

I enjoyed Paris, but just got the photos back from my party, and I wanted to share them with you. As I look through the photos, I am so grateful for all the people who came to celebrate with me. The music, food and decor were all perfect–but having YOU there made the night perfect for me!

This year, I wanted to do something special, so I planned a Noche en Blanco, all white-themed birthday celebration. All guests were required to wear white, and we carried the theme from the cake to the flowers, and from the balloons to the white wine sangria.

I planned the party with the best of the best, Priscilla Trevino, from Perfectly Timed Events. We decided on Mediterranean style catering for the evening, and enjoyed taste-testing together at Cafe Izmir (my local Dallas favorite). I love all of their choices, but we decided on the Russian chicken salad, salmon kabobs, hummus, veggies, peta, and the caprisi salad skewers. Yum!

For sweets, we decided on a cotton candy booth from Haywood Cotton Candy with peach, rose, sangria and strawberry flavors. I love Haywood because they are a local company (run by a mother and her son) and they pride themselves on being all-organic and natural (plus, they are as sweet as the cane-sugar they use!). My Italian Creme and Caramel Chocolate birthday cake was BEAUTIFUL, made by Cakes by Alicia. It looked so incredible, I didn’t want to cut into it–but I was glad we did… *grin*

My all-white decor was fabulous, with balloons and greenery hanging from the ceilings. Biel Events is phenomenal at what they do. They absolutely created the perfect atmosphere for this party! I walked in as they were decorating on Friday afternoon and all I could say was how perfect it looked. It was better than anything I could have imagined. Thank you!!

We also provided white henna from Henna by Zohra for our guests and of course, DJ Clipp was there with the best mixes and music! Our Photo Booth team was wonderful! They had a mirror set up so you can see yourself as you are taking the picture. If you are looking for an amazing photo booth experience, I highly recommend Plush Photo Booth! We have had a lot of parties before, and this photo booth is my favorite!

And we even had Mediterranean costumed greeters at the door–I love these small touches that make parties so memorable and fun!

Thank you to each of you for your kind messages, birthday greetings and wonderful gifts. Family and friendship are the greatest gifts! You have made this birthday so special for me, and I couldn’t be more excited for the year to come!

Love –and cheers to 36!
