Bat Mitzvah of Blue
Posted May 5, 2009 by Leah Puccio
Last week the lovely, Francisca celebrated her Bat Mitzvah with us aboard the RegentSea. The beautiful event was thrown by Francisca’s Aunt Ceclia and Uncle Don. I worked with Francisca and Cecilia planning the event and I was on board for the special occasion. They spared no expense. Francisca’s best friend had a Bat Mitzvah a few months ago and she dressed her event in all Pink, so Francisca decided to compliment that party by doing her party all in shades of Blue.
We rented custom linens in an ice blue crushed organza overlay with white chair covers and an ice blue chair sash; placing a fresh, single white rose in the back of each chair. The ceiling was draped with sheer white and blue fabric and the chandelier was decorated with white lilies and painted blue roses. They used Mr. Bill for the décor and he went all out, spray painting all the flowers blue and even dying the water in the vases blue to match. I arranged thru another vendor to have a stage brought in for Francisca’s dance floor and to had her name carved out of foam board; it was 8’ long and 3’ high sprinkled with glitter fading from light to dark.
All the young guests were transported on busses to the affair. The adults had a formal seated meal of filet mignon, and the teens were treated to chicken fingers and pasta (a huge hit!) Francisca had a chocolate fountain and a great DJ that really kept the party going. It was a fun event for all the guests and one I’m sure Francisca will never forget.
