LOVE IS THE BEST Themed Party

We aren’t sure who wrote this but the following totally captures our themed party celebrating love: “True passion is intoxicating and invigorating, soothing and sensuous, magical and mystical, I just thought you should know what you’re in for!”

We have all read articles about how to give a themed party – the themed invitations, the venue, the appropriate music, etc.

So, we all know the elements that makes for a very special party full of everything beautiful and romantic.  The fun is in making it happen!

 

Our themed party was inspired by our dear friend, Bethany and her fiancé Andrew.  You met Bethany in https://bigbiggerbiggest.life/blog/2022/5/29/women-supporting-women-interview-with-ms-luncheon-honoree-bethany-florek and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8jbdk05vAA and now you will meet Andrew!

Their love story inspired the Engagement Party we are sharing with you on our YouTube channel, “Dare to be Curious.”

 

We were thrilled that so many friends of “Dare to be Curious” made this party so amazing!

 

The venue was the sweet and sassy home of Chicago designer, Lauren Lein.  She also designed and hand painted Bethany’s extraordinary outfit for the evening.  You’ve met Lauren before at https://bigbiggerbiggest.life/blog/2021/12/8/holiday-galas-gowns-fabric-trunk-shows-holiday-make-overs-and-much-much-more and https://youtu.be/dGj3TSVhWFA

 

The outstanding floral arch was created by our beloved Harry from The Garden at Old Irving.  You’ve loved and viewed him many times (see https://bigbiggerbiggest.life/blog/2022/4/6/spring-is-springing-floral-segment-with-our-friend-harry-2 and https://youtu.be/EZHg8_qTNO4) He never ceases to amaze with his talent.

There was dancing, champagne toasts, delicious food from Chicago’s iconic Gene and Georgetti’s, yummy cake and of course, Debi’s Divine Biscotti!

 

All the elements on those lists of how to do a themed party were in place. Plus, there was that extra special something in the air which marks a night to remember – TRUE LOVE.
