Peachie's 50th Birthday Celebration

The remarkable creation curated by Shayla Hawkins Events is a true fusion of New Orleans' vibrant Mardi Gras spirit and the lively essence of Pittsburgh. This event was a sensory delight, featuring delectable cuisine, live portrait painting, a captivating jazz band, and even mesmerizing aerialists. We were incredibly blessed to contribute to this exceptional occasion by designing key elements, including invitations, a monogram, table signs, menus, hospitality bag tags, itineraries, a cake topper, a mirrored seating chart, and more.

On another note, Peachie and I share the same birthday, so I extend my heartfelt wishes for a joyful celebration on February 27th!

Peachie's event also served as a platform to raise funds for an incredible cause through crowdrise. Together with her son, Cameron "Wiz Khalifa" Thomaz, she supports an organization that focuses on giving back and raising funds for impactful initiatives while ensuring everyone has a great time. One cause close to Peachie and Cameron's hearts is Team Tassy, which is committed to running across Haiti to raise funds for their mission of providing job opportunities to Haitian families, helping them break free from the cycle of poverty. Their ambitious goal involves running 230 miles, equivalent to completing nearly nine marathons in just nine days. Along the way, they will traverse mountain ranges, urban landscapes, and share their unique perspective of Haiti. Their aim is to raise $75,000 for Team Tassy's noble cause.

Their wedding embraced an urban chic and sexy theme with a captivating color palette of black and gold. I had the pleasure of designing a stunning bar menu and seating chart that perfectly complemented this vision.

The designs incorporated sleek black elements and elegant gold accents, adding a touch of sophistication and glamour to the overall aesthetic. The combination of these colors created a striking and memorable ambiance for their special day. It was a pleasure to contribute to their wedding and bring their unique vision to life.

A Birthday fit for a Princess

Looking at the photos of this birthday celebration, I couldn't help but wish I was a 4-year-old again. Everything looked incredibly fun and magical! Emery's princess-themed party was an enchanting affair, with her donning a crown and surrounded by beloved Disney princesses.

To match the theme, I designed custom scroll invitations that were elegantly wrapped with purple satin ribbon, adding a touch of regal charm. Additionally, I created die-cut menus and signage that perfectly matched the theme, completing the overall enchanting atmosphere of the event. It was a joy to be a part of creating such a memorable and magical experience for Emery and her loved ones.
