The invitation to Jaithan’s birthday soirée in the garden encouraged guests to dress in festive attire, inspired by a journey into India via Palm Beach. The celebration culminated with a layered lemon cream cake I prepared in the shape of a princely turban. Here are more images of the evening through the eyes of photographer Miki Duisterhof.
Amazing what love can do.
Only a loving husband could put on such a gorgeous spread. How wonderful! I love the photo of Jaithan and his mom! Happy belated birthday Jaithan! Looks like everyone had a magical evening.

Looks like so much fun!! Happy Birthday Jaithan! 🙂
India via Palm Beach? Anything is possible when you are turning 35!!! I love the orange and hot pink…and I’m pretty sure I saw your cake on someone’s head…must’ve been a swell soiree!
Looks like a fabulous bash! Love the hot pink! I’ve been away from blogland for a couple of months so I’ve been scarce visiting all of my faves due to moving home and studio and getting settled, but happy Autumn to you, Eddie!

I’d say it was a smashing success … and widly entertaining!
happy birthday dear friend J
I’ve got festive attire knocked, and am not one of those people who believe in tossing clothes that haven’t been worn in a year. Happy Birthday to Jaithan! I am a big fan of birthday celebrations and do not understand those who ignore the annual moment. I am one of 7 children, and my day is my day–every year.
Best,
Liz
Hi Eddie, Looks like everyone was having a great time. Love they dressed for the occassion. I noticed in the first photograph of the table and chairs if you look quickly then a way gives you the sight of plaid.. wonderful!!! By the look on his face, your cake was a huge hit!! Hope all is well.. hugs ~lynne~
FUN!!! I love all the attire and the oranges down the pink table too!!
Love it! Parties are somehow so much more fun when everyone dresses with the theme! I love how much pink people wore 🙂

What total fun! I love themed parties!

Belated Birthday Wishes!
Nice table setting! Festive celebration. Can not wait to see your festive touch for holiday decoration.

P.S. Thought I’d write for a good laugh…I’m trying out for Design Star and I had a dream about you last night…we were on the same team and you were being really bossy and not letting me get any of my ideas in…(so funny, right!) phew…glad we won’t be competing together, it could be a hot mess 😉
Will you be at highpoint this weekend?
This is so cute and looks like so much fun. Happy Birthday to Jaithan!

My daughter is getting married in 8 weeks. We are looking for gold pedestal bowls just like you have on the table (holding fruit). Would you mind telling me where we can purchase them? Thanks
