When Maryla told us we were going to have a Valentine\u2019s Day party, we were all excited to see the beautiful house that existed outside of the office walls.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When I walked into the dinning room, the beautiful flowers and tablescape made my jaw drop. The shimmery table clothed paired perfectly with the ombr\u00e9 pink water glasses and the vibrant array of colorful flowers. We even all had a personalized nametag at our seat at the table, giving us a feeling of specialized importance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2511 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artofperfectionevents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/table-xx.jpg\" alt=\"table xx\" width=\"576\" height=\"568\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2494 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artofperfectionevents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_6597.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6597\" width=\"578\" height=\"349\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2512 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artofperfectionevents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/table-one.jpg\" alt=\"Processed with VSCOcam with a4 preset\" width=\"574\" height=\"574\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2513 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artofperfectionevents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/table.jpg\" alt=\"table\" width=\"576\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2498 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artofperfectionevents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_9182-1-e1455241590521.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9182\" width=\"578\" height=\"433\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We began with a friendly competition, in the office, of creating a tablescape with any assortment of crafts that we could find throughout the house. We learned about hosting etiquette, how to properly set a table, and how to match color swatches to go with your clients theme.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2514 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artofperfectionevents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/meags.jpg\" alt=\"meags\" width=\"578\" height=\"433\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2515 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artofperfectionevents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/squad.jpg\" alt=\"squad\" width=\"577\" height=\"489\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2499 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artofperfectionevents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/xxx.png\" alt=\"xxx\" width=\"578\" height=\"297\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From there we moved back into the dinning room, were we were surprised to see heart shaped pizza and delicious insalata as the main meal. How cute?! We next went around the table discussing which areas of work we would like to challenge ourselves and grow in before we moved to the best part of any meal, dessert. We indulged ourselves with an assortment of fresh fruit, strawberries dipped in chocolate, and beautifully colored macaroons.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2516 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artofperfectionevents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/strawberries.jpg\" alt=\"strawberries\" width=\"578\" height=\"433\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2517 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artofperfectionevents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/macs.jpg\" alt=\"macs\" width=\"577\" height=\"732\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We are event planners, and we love what we do, so of course this party would not have been complete without a photoshoot!
