30th Birthday Party Prom

30 Balloons: Amazon // Backdrop: Amazon

I turned 30 this May! I love getting dressed up, let's face it, I'm extra! So for my birthday party I rented a banquet room at our local Elks Lodge and threw a prom!

Dress: Nordstrom Rack // Belt: Amazon // Blazer: Amazon // Backdrop: Amazon

My husband & I met in college and we weren't even in high school at the same time, so it was fun to get to have "prom" together! He even indulged me and wore an outrageous blazer to match my dress and color theme for the party. And crazy story about my dress: I got it at Nordstrom Rack, for 1 penny!! I thought they were joking when they rang me up, but I guess that's a thing at Nordstrom Rack??

Funny story about the above pictures: The first time I met all of my husband's family, back when we were first dating, was at his birthday gathering. His oldest brother made me carry out Joel's cake to him while everyone sang and I remember being so embarrassed, because 1) I just met them all and 2) I just kept thinking "what if we break up & I'll be in all of these birthday photos now!" Well good think it worked out! 10 years later and he's holding my cake for me while everyone sang happy birthday!




 I had such a blast! I am so thankful to my family and friends that came and celebrated with me and helped me pull everything together.
30's going to be a party! :)
Cheers!
