Captured beautifully by Bekah Kay Creative, today’s anniversary celebration comes straight to us from to A. Griffin Events and J’Adorn Designs. It’s a dreamy fete full of glamour and sophistication and we can’t wait to show you all the gorgeousness that this dream team whipped up at Old Westminster Winery.
From the team, “We wanted to share this blue editorial with you that uses sapphires as inspiration for a jeweler’s 5th anniversary celebration. Alison Jefferies, a custom jeweler and owner of J’Adorn Designs, wanted an Old World dinner party to celebrate the fifth anniversary of her and her husband.”
“Sapphires reflect many shades of blue when they catch the light: warm cobalt, jubilant turquoise, peaceful hydrangea blue, and elegant indigo. To keep the party from looking like Picasso’s Blue Period, we brought in other colors.”
“We paired sapphire blue with copper and gold metals in honor of Ali’s jewelry. And we looked to nature for other hues, specifically the crimsons and deep greens which abound in a fall vineyard.”
“To further keep the tone celebratory, rather than moody, we used a light background and sparse dark blue (like navy and indigo) elements.”
“Ali’s navy dress coordinated with the hand-dyed indigo invitations, menus and place cards by Every Little Letter.”
She also refashioned a pair of vintage clip-on earrings into rhinestone hairpins to accent her retro-inspired hairstyle.
Cobalt wine glasses and a copper candelabra with ink-blue candles brought in more sapphire touches.
Crate and Barrel cobalt plates and copper flatware along with high ball glasses from Anthropologie created an intimate feel while remaining sophisticated.

Guests were greeted with an Old World French 75 and after dinner they enjoyed the sunset and a starlit sapphire sky at a lounge area provided by Honeydew Vintage.
