Party Recap

Peace, Love, and Party prevailed as Isabella’s friends were transported back in time to the Sixties for a groovy birthday celebration and sleepover.
The birthday girl greeted her guests wearing hippie style floral bell-bottom pants and pink halter blouse. A flower garland in her hair and a peace sign necklace completed her outfit!
Party goers were also encouraged to dress in Sixties attire.
Colorful balloon bouquets decorated the front porch bannisters, and Peace Sign yarn wreaths hung on the front doors.
Flower power was in bloom with overhead paper blossoms suspended from the vaulted ceiling.
Round tables were dressed with green fabric over bright pink table cloths. Table settings included blue and green metallic place mats, as well as turquoise napkins wrapped with candy dots and a lollipop.
Beverages were served in old-fashioned glass bottles with pink and white striped straws.
Peace signs hung from the chair backs.
Vintage Volkswagen Beetles served as centerpieces for over-flowing floral arrangements.
Tent Style Food labels were also in keeping with the party theme.
Mesmerizing Lava lamps and a yarn curtain were among the many decorations to set the mood.
Brightly colored and flowered pillows decorated the sofa and chairs. A flower picture rested on the mantle with smiley faces mounted in flower covered buckets on either side.
A “Happy Birthday Isabella” sign featured a likeness of the birthday girl sporting sunglasses and standing next to a camper van.
