Go behind the scenes of sweet table of 2010 with Susana from Citrus And Orange (Portugal).

This is the dessert table that I did for my birthday. My car broke down, I lost my camera in the middle of the boxes, the ceiling decorations started falling apart a few minutes after I hanged them and the iron stained the tablecloth – so this is the final result! Not the final one, actually, as by the time the photos were taken, some sweets were still on their way to the venue. In the evening, my feet were killing me, as I spent almost 10 hours having the whole place decorated – unfortunately, I don’t have pictures of the other decoration details.

I have always loved green and lilac – lilac is a color that is part of my home decor for many years now. I wanted to give the table a little touch of Autumn, the season of my birthday. Otherwise, it would be a flowery Spring table, so that was the reason why I chose my favorite flowers – hydrangeas – in lilac and purple. And because this was my birthday table, I decided to give it another personal touch by adding some of the vintage milk glass vases that belong to my small collection.

I have to thank my sister and brother as well as my husband for all their help. I also thank Francisca, who did the cakes and cupcakes, for interpreting and turning my ideas into reality. My friends, who had the time to be there with me, thank you so much.

Well, this is my imagination. I hope you like it!
