A City Garden 30th Birthday in California
Friday, June 3rd, 2016 | By Rosalie Iannelli
To celebrate turning 30, Anna planned something a little more elaborate than the usual restaurant outing. She gathered her nearest and dearest to dine by candlelight in a gorgeous city garden venue where guests feasted on a custom-made gilded cake, lavender and honey-infused macarons and sipped on Blackberry Whiskey Smashes.
It was an amazing way to ring in a new decade for the photographer and birthday girl. Anna imagined a moody colour palette for her birthday bash that perfectly captured winter in California. Deep purples were used, anchoring some greys and dusty mauves highlighted with accents of gold.
‘It was wintry and elegant in a way that wasn’t too stark or organic,’ said Anna.
