A Steampunk Sweet 16 party...
The wait is over... Here are pictures from Brenna's Steampunk party commemorating her 16th birthday at the River Vale Country Club. It was a day enjoyed by everyone! All the terrific costumes, delicious food, and festive Steampunk theme details added to the spirit of the celebration. I invite you to experience the day through this visual recap... All decor and design by A little something... Photography by Christopher's Studio. Here are some favorite shots taken outside before guests arrived. Brenna's full skirt is printed with a novelty octopus design, matching the motif of her Kracken leather hat from Blonde Swan.
 |
| Welcoming guests as they arrive, this sign sets the mood before they ascend the stairs. |
 |
| Pennants, paper, and party-time, oh my! |
 |
| Welcome one and all... Sign in table where guests received a party badge and hat. |
 |
| Make a wish for the birthday girl. |
 |
| Brenna's Wish Box... like a box of chocolates. |
 |
| On the bar, Venus decked out with goggles and a Steampunk topper. |
 |
| Hand-made paper fans above the dining table. |
 |
| Amid the paper lantern and fans, a suspended airship flies. |
 |
| The dirigible is made with an oblong paper lantern, wood print and gear motifs. |
 |
| The long dining table set for the feast. |
 |
| Elegant sandstone and ivory linens with custom menus for each place setting. |
 |
| Ivory tapered candles in amber glass bottles wrapped in burlap and sealed with a wax stamp. |
 |
| Bronze cans filled with fresh white roses, vinca vine and grapes. The table runner is made of book pages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. |
 |
| Let the fete begin! |
 |
| Novelty themed drink choices were between a Sonic Screwdriver or Brass Goggles. |
 |
| For the dessert table, a hot air balloon centerpiece of white roses, vinca and grapes in a wicker basket adorned with antique pocket watch. |
 |
| Yes, cog cookies! Gears are melted chocolate, peanut butter and a mix atop thin shortbread wafers. |
 |
| Many enjoyed a cup of tea with their confections. |
 |
| Brenna wanted a naked cake, pure and simple... Three tiers of vanilla cake layered with home-made whipped cream and fresh berries. |
 |
| A teeny tiny birthday banner on the cake. |
 |
| Before she lit the candles, Brenna had a word of thanks for all her friends. |
 |
| So where is the photo booth? This way! |
 |
| Grab a prop and strike a pose! |
 |
| Frame is made completely of cardboard suspended from the ceiling. |
 |
| Antique cameras add to the vignettes. |
 |
| Alongside the props... |
 |
| More photo booth fun! |
 |
| The gallery filling up with photos taken and printed. Bronze painted PVC piping with wire and clothespins display the photos. |
 |
| Take home tokens for each guest. A specially wrapped parcel of goodies to enjoy. |
 |
| What a wonderful day! Everyone joined in the fun and made her birthday very special indeed! |
The next event is calling... This birthday girl is looking forward to the 2015 Steampunk World's Fair! Here we come! xoxo-Sonya
