The rose-themed sweet16, hosted in the grand ballroom of the HiltonWoodcliff Lake, seemed fittingly perfect for Ridgewood resident Victoria Donatacci, whose favorite flower and middlename also happen to be Rose. The birthday girl, an honors student at Immaculate Heart Academy, swapped out her uniform and appeared radiant in an elegant red gownfrom Gattinolli in Ridgewood. The 175 guests enjoyedthe rose-themed affair that included apetal perfectcake providedby ALittle Cake / Le Petit GateauinPark Ridge and table arrangements created by Perry’ s Florist in Glen Rock. Adding to energetic event was music, courtesy of DJ Anthony from Bud Maltin Metropolitan Music, who had everyone on the dance floor. Videographer Greg Riccardi of Greg Riccardi Productions in Allendale captured“ rose-coloredmoments” on camera, creating alasting memory for Victoria and her family. ●
