It’s not just this fabulous ikat printed cake that made us smile throughout this post. Or the gorg tablescape or bright space at Archetype Napa (just wait!). It’s all that, sure, but more importantly, it’s the fact that Jacqueline of Finding Lovely dreamt the whole thing up to surprise her mama for her birthday. Dear friends traveled from far and wide, Tulips & Toadstools styled it to perfection, and Ruth Eileen documented the day to remember for years to come. Srsly, just so sweet.

Surprise party invites! Wouldn’t they be so fun to receive"

All the details were navy and coral, AKA mom’s fave colors.

Jacqueline tells it, Handmade Ikat linen runners graced each table top and set the foundation for wicker chargers and the beautiful airy floral arrangements by Morgan and her team at Tulips & Toadstools. Vintage brass candlestick holders and navy blue tapers added height and elegance to the tablescape. The simple charger and navy linen napkin were topped with a favor box filled with my mother?s favorite chocolate, wrapped in silk and velvet ribbons and topped with a handmade paper flower.
Christine Paper Design was behind the darling paper flowers.
