For an end of summer soiree, reality star of Leave it to Llamas, Shayne Llamas called on ‘yours truly’ to design a fun, flirty and fabulous night of champagne and cupcakes with her best girlfriends and immediate family.  Calling for an all-out glamorous gathering, Valentine called on Rrivreworks to complement the hot pink color palette with just the right amount of glamour using his custom chandelier buffet to flaunt the summer treats.

When Shayne shared with me her favorite color of hot pink, my ‘Aha’ moment occurred immediately as I recalled my gorgeous beaded pair of Mui Mui heels in my shoe closet.  They echoed her spunky little personality wonderfully and became my inspiration for the simple summer fete.

We filled her backyard pool deck with custom covered ottomans, gorgeous blush pink garden roses floating in the pool, tons of candlelight and an extraordinary floral top hat and jeweled collar on an elephant topiary to serve as the core conversation piece of the evening.

In the end, Shayne had a blast and hated to see it all leave the next morning.  Happy client = next client!

So what will be your inspiration for the next summer rendezvous on your design calendar?

Keep spreading the love,
