Please enjoy this Masquerade Carnevil theme party that Jacquelyn Pages and her husband Charles Pages owners of Pages Photography put together for her birthday this November.
Jacqueline and Charles asked me to meet with them regarding a birthday party they were planning and the idea was to go all out since they did not have a wedding party when they got married and had never had a big party before this was super important and very exiting. They used wedding vendors they have work with before to assist them with this. To be honest it was a complete pleasure to work with this adorable couple and look forward to working with them again.
I wanted to know what inspired Jacquelyn and she tells me that all this came down when searching for Halloween ideas. Her and her sister as little girls have always loved Halloween so when searching for ideas is when the dark-circus theme came roaring to life.
This was not a kids carnival theme, so the party was carefully pieced together using themes of dark, spooky and sexy. It was decided that her husband was going to be the knife thrower and she was going to be his assistant, and more ideas kept unraveling for the rest of the party. Jacquelyn loves masks, and they were a huge part of the theme as they added so much drama and in turn provided the name, Masquerade Carnevil.
There was red and white lights stringing from the roof to the back fence creating a tent feel, three hand made carnival games, and hand painted circus themed signs were hung. Their dog became the lion and was trained to jump through a hula hoop, which was truly exciting for their guests. Of course there was a variety of circus themed food and beverages to choose from. Invitations were created from scratch adding an old carnival ticket look. Everything was carefully thought out and detailed was important to amazed friends and family as soon as they walked in.
Jacquelyn said than even though it was a ton of work to pull this off, the end result was absolutely worth it. She plans to make an even larger, more extravagant Carnevil next year.
We are looking forward to it
