30th Birthday Surprise: Part II
August 3rd, 2010
I’m back today with a few more photos from my husband’s 3oth Birthday Surprise. Sadly I was so busy the day of the event that I wasn’t able to snap any pictures of the party but I was able to shoot some of the details afterwards. I really went all out with the decorations too so I’m bummed that I don’t have any pics to share.
To coordinate with the “meat tooth” theme, I made meat inspired buttons that people could wear as they saw fit. It was a nice ice breaker for people that didn’t know each other and a fun token from the party. We can all use a little flare now and then!
I knew that people would be dressing up, so I wanted to make sure Tula was properly accessorized . I’d seen this tutorial in Martha Stewart Weddings on how to make flowers from silk and tulle so I sewed one and attached it to a matching homemade dog collar. Tula was quite the trooper and looked perfectly adorable in her oversized corsage!

Aww! Tula looks fabulous. You could totally sell these dog collar flowers on your etsy page! Hint hint! Love this post!

That is the cutest dog I have ever seen and I love the collar!

Love the flare and it is such a reminder, that no matter how old we get, we’re all still kids @ heart (who love to go to themed parties and wear cute little buttons:)).
And that flower——– ADORABLE!!! I just saved the link so that I can make one for myself! Oh, and my daughter too:).

Oh all the details are so thoughtful and cute! And your dog looks so sweet. Maybe your friends have some photos of the decorations? I would love to see those as well. You’re so talented, you have a very lucky husband =)

Sounds like it was a fun party and the invites are gorgeous and so unique! Can’t help but do a little “awww” looking at Tula’s flower. Looks like I’ll need to try one too for my dachshunds….a little too girly for my Newf though. Congratulations on a successful party!

Thanks, I actually made them myself with a borrowed button maker!

Tula & my cavalier Willow would be best friends! She also wears a flower on her collar. You can see photos of her helping me around the design studio here:

Oh heavens – I already re-posted this on my site because I fell in love with the pics of the collar that you made for your spaniel – I only JUST read that her name is Tula, though!!!
I am getting ready to make one for MY Toula – I think I am going to use some turquoise/peacock taffeta remnants… Beautiful, beautiful blog!!!
