Backyard Birthday

Last night, Grant (my amazing boyfriend!), threw me an intimate backyard birthday celebration with some of our closest friends. The Hoboken BBQ-style soiree was such a memorable night, because it was filled with some of my favorite things!


{Great friends (and atmosphere - notice the wall of roses in the background!)}

{A cute chef!}

{A 70's-inspired cake from none other than, Hoboken's renowned Carlos Bakery (aka 'The Cake Boss')}

{Cupcake Vinyards wine (I admit, 99.9% of the reason I buy this wine is because I love the label!)}

{Hydrangea (thank you Ashley!) displayed in a mason jar for shabby-chic look}

{Candles (the easiest way to add instant ambiance to a party)}

{Good music (Stay tuned! My 2011 summer playlist is coming soon...)}
