This past weekend I got the privilege of designing and setting up my dear friend Liz's daughter Sweet 16. I've known Leslie since she was a baby and it is such a pleasure to see her blossom into such a beautiful young lady. Leslie wanted an elegant Masquerade ball. Her color choices was Black, Gold and White. I knew that with those colors it had to be something glamorous! I chose to keep the masks subtle (notice little masks in the flowers and table) not loud and obvious. It added a nice touch of elegance and simplicity, sometimes less is more like they say! Here are the photos to her glam masquerade sweet 16. ...
