A Golden Anniversary Celebration

Lustrous accents and lush white florals set the tone for a get-together that honors a beloved couple’s 50th wedding anniversary.

 The shimmer of a striped ecru linen underlines a parade of golden décor, from glass dinnerware with a filagree-style border to knotted napkin rings made of gold rope. Votives and pillar candles adorned with stylized vines further the setting’s warm glow. At a side table that features the pair on their special day, encourage guests to jot down sweet sentiments for the duo and place them in a decorative vessel. 

Keep the menu sophisticated by serving Elegant Pickled Shrimp and vol-au-vents filled with chicken and bacon, accompanied by a bubbly Elderflower Royale. A showstopping vanilla cake cloaked in buttercream and glimmering sprinkles rounds out the blissful occasion.
