A Night of Style & Celebration for Jackie & Simi's 40th Birthday

This 40th birthday was nothing short of spectacular! The whole night was a perfect mix of modern elegance, bold design, and warm, intimate vibes. From the moment guests walked in, they were greeted by a space that felt both glamorous and inviting—think rich gold accents, dark greens, candlelit tables, specialty seating vignettes and a stunning ceiling full of cascading metallic balloons glitter & sequins.

For this event, I designed a monogram, It was a simple, modern design, and added a chic touch. It was used on stickers for the charcuterie appetizers and on the napkins, giving everything a polished, personalized feel and carrying the theme throughout the event.

The bar sign I designed, featured a layered acrylic sign with gold cutout accents that really popped. Even the food signage was carefully designed to blend into the elegant atmosphere with a clean design and a splash of gold shimmer.

The décor was pure magic. The black-and-white chevron patterned floor set a bold foundation, while the mix of soft candlelight, sleek gold lamps, and lush greenery made everything feel warm and intimate. The marbled table linens added texture and depth, tying the whole look together effortlessly.

A Surprise 80th Birthday Celebration for Sava

When it comes to honoring a life full of love, laughter, and cherished memories, Sava’s 80th Surprise Birthday Party was as special as they come! Designed to be both elegant and heartfelt, this celebration brought together family and friends to shower Sava with joy and admiration — all while keeping the big surprise under wraps!

The Design Details

The party’s aesthetic was inspired by an intricate floral pattern featuring rich hues of dark teal, green, purple, and pink. This theme wove through every detail, starting with the custom-designed invitation suite. I created which included a patterned envelope liner, invitation wrap with "Shhh!" indicating the surprise, a details card and QR Response card.

To add a personal touch, I designed a custom monogram that appeared on the dance floor, along with a 24 x 36 sign titled “80 Things We Love About Sava”, which became a centerpiece of love and admiration from her guests.
