What a great time I had planning this party! The graduate's high school and college colors went well together: black, white, red. His extracurricular activities included soccer and music. With that inspiration I got to work making pennants, windsocks, tablecloths, and centerpieces.
The party was to be set on the small island connected to the client's property by a dock. Strings of pennants were to line the dock as the guests walked out to the island. Metallic red windsocks were to blow in the breeze and shine in the sun. Pots painted red and planted with red gerber daisies and white dahlias were going to be so summery on the red and black gingham tablecloths.
April and May gave us almost no rain and lots of sun, but then on June 6th there was no sun to be found and it RAINED ALL DAY. What can you do? We moved some things around and had a lovely party despite the weather. The graduates even snuck in a muddy game of volleyball when the rain let up a bit.
Cocoa & Fig catered the party. Their food was wonderful! Great wraps, pulled pork sandwiches, and salads. Country Cake Cupboard made the cakes. They were so cute and really good!
Thanks Sue and Phil for the opportunity to plan Casey's graduation party.
Congrats Casey! Enjoy college!
