My Sweet17 Birthday Dinner

IMG_0471

My 17th birthday was on July 30th, but since it was during Eid holiday, I celebrated it on August 9th.
I honestly didn't prepare much about this birthday dinner. I didn't even decide about an exact theme for my birthday, so I just made it to match my dress' color, which was in Pink!
The pink's shade was hot pink. I like it more than baby pink because it shows femininity yet it's not as girly as baby pink. It also symbolizes a 'growth' of pink. I was once 'a baby pink', then on my 17th birthday I turned to be a 'maturer (hot) pink' ;p

From the first, I decided to celebrate my birthday with just a dinner and some simple funny games with my close friends, family, and relatives. I didn't want to make a too big party simply because I wanted it to make more meaningful with the people I feel comfortable with. I also didn't want to throw too much money only within a night too! Hehehe. But that doesn't mean I hate big parties, I enjoy those too but not for my own party ;D.

For those who asked, my dress is from Peggy Hartanto (I bought it at Galleries Lafayette, Pacific Place), my heels are from Aldo, and my headpiece is from @petitebellebow . I did the make up by myself (I didn't find any make up artist in my city that suits my preference, so I chose to do it myself :D), hair by a local salon in my city. Anndd fyi, for a clarification, my dress is not bolong (perforated?) ! There's a sheer fabric in NUDE colour. I laughed so hard when anons on my ask.fm thought so... lol *insert laugh-cry emoji here*

I made those heart-shaped cut outs together with my mom and my dad a few days before the d-day :'>. I didn't use EO by the way. It's just a simple party which didn't need help from eo at all.

My juniors at school who are also my close friends helped me to become the guest receptionists . Their dresscode was floral! So pretty!

  19. Pictures are saying it all. You had such a frolic and mesmerizing birthday dinner. Additional accents of mind blowing arrangements are lovely. Roses and daisy flowers used for decoration on my father's retirement were also beautiful. Everyone liked the location of event venue with great DJ and also professional photographer.
