Juli Labrecque Photography

This past month I celebrated my 40th birthday! For months in advance I wasn’t sure how I wanted to celebrate but then I landed on a tea party idea. I love tea parties..I used to host them pre kids… SO I thought this was the best idea.

Prior to photography I used to plan events with RSVP Event Design.. I had this idea that I would LOVE planning events for other people (because I loved planning events for myself).. Slowly but surely I discovered it is FAR more stressful planning for others… and I loved taking the photos at events, rather then being the planner (funny how things worked out) haha… so I LOVED planning this for myself.. Putting all the goodies together felt like an art piece. Once all the guests arrived no one wanted to touch it.. it just looked soooo pretty!

Tea was from Macbeeners (Kusmi)

The cake, macaroons & Cake pops – Lardass Cakes

Cookies – Jessie Virginia

Flowers Costco

I made up goodie bags because I mean who doesn’t want to leave a party with goodies!.. They each had a Cult Chocolate, seeds from my garden last year, Tea from Macbeeners (Kusmi Tea), a cookie and a little facial toner from Green Tree beauty.
