my wishlistIf romance had a palette, this Dallas-Fort Worth soirée would be its masterpiece. A stunning Love Shack Fancy inspired party was drenched in 50 shades of pink and set the stage for an enchanting celebration that was nothing short of magical. Every detail paid homage to vintage and modern charm, exuding sophistication and whimsical femininity.
Dixie Does Vintage was thrilled when “Party’s By Erica” reached out and asked us to help be a part of this special Dallas birthday celebration. Huey Family Photography was there to beautifully capture all of the party highlights’.
The heartbeat of the party was the long table set for 36 guests featuring a gorgeous collection of vintage pink rosebud patterned china and delicate porcelain teacups in assorted patterns. The antique china was from our Dixie Does Vintage’s “50 Shades Of Pink Collection.” Each place setting felt like a journey into a bygone era, steeped in the charm of a refined English garden tea party. Custom scalloped menu cards at each place setting were designed by Magnolia Boone Paperie. The linens were from Love Shack Fancy’s home collection. Delicate pink etched glassware was provided by Posh Couture Rentals.
Nothing says Love Shack Fancy quite like garden roses, ranunculus, and peonies in shades of pale pink and white. Park City Petals designed and arranged the fragrant blooms in Dixie Does Vintage antique chintz china vessels which included charming teapots, greek goddess busts, and petit china egg cups and bowls that perfectly complemented the pink aesthetic. The florals were abundant but never overwhelming, creating a soft, natural garden vibe that elevated every corner of the party.
A giant pale pink balloon bow greeted guests, and a large custom pink velvet bow was mounted on the wall of the dining area. Both were designed by Party by Erica.
Dixie Does Vintage provided vintage style pink champagne flutes that sparkled like jewels beside a retro-inspired crystal punch bowl that served tasty mocktails and acted as both centerpiece and conversation starter for the arriving guests. The delicious brunch was provided by caterer The Food Company. The unusual Greek Goddess floral centerpieces in a shade of pink were inspired by Bridgerton and added a playful touch to Brunch.
The Dessert Bar was a confectionery dreamland. Pale pink macarons by Macs By Seya sat alongside meticulously frosted cookies shaped like bows, hearts, and vintage-inspired designs from East Dallas Cookies. Pink chocolate-covered strawberries from Strawberries by Ali and thumbprint cookies from One Pink Cookie were displayed. A gorgeous vintage-style cake from Daisy Cakes Dallas perched proudly atop a peony-pink cake stand, and was a vision of edible art. The vintage rosebud china made another appearance on the dessert bar, presenting treats on large, exquisite platters. Tiered trays and Plate Stands from Dixie Does Vintage in cut crystal, gold, white-and-pink china, and floral chintz patterns added layers of beauty, as if each dessert was a jewel displayed in an heirloom showcase.
This 50-shades-of-pink celebration captured the essence of Love Shack Fancy with vintage elements, sophisticated details, and an overarching sense of whimsy. From the Dixie Does Vintage’s carefully designed dessert bar and tablescapes to the stunning floral arrangements, every aspect of this Dallas-Fort Worth gathering felt like a page from a storybook or a setting from Bridgerton.
