- The dessert & cocktail table was styled with layers of authentic Sari’s, a painted pedestal from India (held the drinks), a backdrop that matched our table runner, and hanging lanterns embellished with gold trim.
- Jessie of Fairytail Frosting decorated cookies to coordinate with the signs & candy wrappers that Jordan of Polkadot Prints had designed. The cookies were delicious – I personally LOVED the brown sugar & spice flavor!
- The hostess also made Red Velvet Cupcakes & Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes, which we topped with tiny plastic pacifiers.
- Our signature cocktail was named, “Pear o’ Monkeys” Mimosas, as it was a mixture of pear nectar and champagne – and soooo refreshing!
