Planning A Super Teen Party



This is my favorite event to plan.... Whether its a super sweet sixteen a quincetera, or a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, it's always fun to brainstorm with a teen and create a fabulous event.
We love to find a detail that is important to the parents and the teen. We spend hours listening to the guest of honor, we scope out their room, we ask about favorite foods,music, favorite movies,activities and more. We listen even when they don't think that we are. Every teen wants a theme or look for their party and we try to find a thread that will be different and have the guests be blown away. Color always works... choosing colors that pop along with good lighting make the room come alive,generate energy and make the guests want to party.
When I was asked to plan a fabulous Sweet 16,the meeting included the beautiful popular Sweet 16 to be, her mom and her grammy. Everyone came from a different point of view but all wanted something exciting and colorful. We decided on the look- bo-chic meets Morroco meets Bollywood. The favorite colors were hot pink,orange and plum.  To complete the look the guest of honor wore a recreation of a cleopatra dress... she was breathtaking. The cake of harem pillows followed our vision.





The hot pink invitation adorned w an orange crystal set the tone. We found a paisley design that we converted to these colors and laminated the back. The look wascompleted with a paisley stamp. FABULOUS!
The decor was wonderful, but the hilight for this teen was a dj who played her dance music, a break dancer and a famous teen heart throb to take her breath away.
