40th Birthday for Nikeva Lawrence

Simply Perfect Peace Events was honored to plan and manage the Champagne and Chocolate's 40th Birthday Soirée for Nikeva Lawrence which was nothing short of amazing!  The honoree was stunning in her gown by Curvaceous Couture (Columbus, MD), Hair by Ebony Roberts and flawless makeup by Sheree Day Stroud, founder of Fog Cosmetics.

Theme, budget, a few must haves and GO was all she gave us to work with.  Although we hit a bump late in the planning process with our first venue selection the Main Street Diner at the Sapphire Room proved to be the perfect setting for this diva and her guests. A big shout out to my Partner who took time away from her new baby to do what we do and our team for making it memorable for all. Palette Pleasers Catering supplied the delicious cuisine, my business partners Sherhonda Atkins-Martin and Ronnie Martin from Candy Personified and the fabulous sweet table left the guests wanting more. Designs by Shay created a sexy elegant atmosphere with beautiful floral arrangements and the overall design elements. I certainly can't forget my sound and lighting team, saxophonist Rico Maatre and DJ Memphz who set the tone early and had the party rocking all night long. Last but not least, photographer, Marcus L Sanders for capturing the pure essence of this event. I'm looking forward  to the professional photos but in the meantime enjoy these taken with cell phones by myself and guests.

Raise Your Glasses - It's MY Birthday

It's no secret that I plan events - I celebrate the happy times of other people.  Well, in 1964 Dorothy and Luther Dillard received the greatest gift they could have imagined (that year) in a baby girl they decided to call Sharon Yvette!!!!!  Over these past 48 .. YES 48yrs, I have lost some battles and won more :)  When I say I am GRATEFUL... O...M...G.. I am grateful beyond words. 

Although Aquamarine is the birthstone for March, if I were to have a party today - here are a few things that I'd try and make happen  in my favorite color....

That's a lavender martini!

I like this tablescape.  I would certainly have a lot of candles!

Cake.... that is all!

 

Nobody does it better than Preston Bailey.  To all my event planning friends.. you have two years until my 50th :)

I don't know what I'd have on my body BUT I do know what I'd have on my feet!!!

...AND these would be in my ears!

Celebrate YOU without reservation or guilty conscious!!  To those that have celebrated ME.... woot woot!  LOL *smooches* and Thank you!
