y t r Pa TIME Time for Tea ALICE IN WONDERLAND -INSPIRED PARTY TAKES GUESTS ON AN ADVENTURE WRITTEN BY LAURA ADAMS STIANSEN PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF JOSH LYNN PHOTOGRAPHY J enny Orsini of Jenny Orsini Events in Berkeley Heights worked with the Pereira family of Upper Saddle River for the past two years, so when it was time to plan their daughter Liliana’s communion party, she was full of ideas. “They have three beautiful daughters and I’ve been fortunate enough to be hired to plan all of their communion parties,” Orsini says happily. Since Liliana loves Alice in Wonderland, Orsini tried to incorporate that theme into her communion party, but instead of using the typical decor she made it a bit more whimsical and elegant. 38 SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2017 | (201) FAMILY “By using a pastel color palette along with garden- inspired florals, and adding slight touches of some of the more well-known story points – rabbit, watches, clocks and keys – we were able to create the perfect themed party for Liliana,” says Orsini. “The party came together easily with the help of Jenny,” mom Christine says. “She brought our vision to life. It was a beautiful party for our beautiful daughter.” Liliana “loved her party,” adds Christine. “Her favorite parts were the face painter, candy bar and cake.” ●
