Dark and moody birthday party

I do love planning parties for my kids, but recently I had the great privilege to throw a much more grown up party for my husband! Sean turned the big 5-0 this month so we had to have an extra special celebration for him. I decided on a moody black and gold theme with tons of candles. I had so much fun putting it together with the help of my mom and sister-in-law. Mood Board These were some pictures that caught my eye when I was thinking about what Sean would like and what would be special…

This unique blackberry margarita smash is made with smoky mezcal mixed with sweet blackberries, tart pomegranate juice and a subtle hint of earthy sage. These dark and moody cocktails are perfect for spooky season. Garnish with fresh sage before serving.

An Autumn Love Affair! Candle-lit tables and the rustling of leaves set the stage for love as timeless as the changing seasons. Are you considering incorporating the season's colors for anyone planning a Fall wedding? 🤍 (@sammblake)
