Surprise birthday dinner party - need ideas!

therickson

Hi ladies -

We are throwing a surprise birthday dinner party for my Mom at a restaurant in my hometown. We are going to be in this private room here.

I want to have a couple flower arrangements and old pictures around the room. How would mason jars full of flowers look? If ok - should I spray paint them? We will have a glass cupcake stand and varied frames. Any other ideas for decorations?

Mason jars say country/outdoor spring party.  This room is none of that.  I like the low centerpieces in this picture so I'd go for a low clear glass, but not a mason jar.  I'm thinking a set of stemless red wineglasses might be better.

Ditto on the feel of the room.

Another "simple" option would be a row of bud vases with single roses.

Googe luck!  It's a very pretty room.

The room is already decorated, so you don't need to add much.  I'd do like they did in the photo and run flowers down the middle of the table and intersperse framed photos there.

I'd head to Hobby Lobby and look for little, low containers.  I agree that Mason jars don't feel quite right.
