Super sweet 50th .

Bank holidays have never really been that exciting to me in the past, mainly because during my years at University you don't get the same buzz at having a 3 day weekend as you do in a 9-5 job. This August bank holiday so many different things were going on I had so many options to choose from!

I kicked off the bank holiday weekend with a 50th birthday party on the Saturday, this wasnt any ordinary 50th birthday - MTV could of filmed for Super sweet 50th. My mums boyfriend turned 50 in February but due to his busy work schedule he decided to wait until the bank holiday to celebrate. He put up a large marquee on the land behind his house, and asked everyone to come in black tie. The party began around 2pm.. I may have been upstairs until around 2.30pm because a piece of my hair had a mind of its own, and of course, selfies had to be taken.

The marquee was kitted out just like a wedding, numbered tables and place cards. I had put my order in for my food months in advance, I went for the parma ham, chutney & melon starter, vegetarian lasagne for main and cheesecake for dessert. It was all amazinggg.

I had purchased a dress from the House of Fraser occasion wear section for an absolute steal - £175.00 down to £68.00. It was the last one on the rack and in my size - to my boyfriends delight who was shopping with me it was also the first dress I liked, picked up, tried on and purchased all within 5 minutes.

I bought some gold jewellery from ASOS, some pearl drop down earings and an Aldo layered necklace . My sister was to thank for my hair, I didnt want an up do so she plaited the front of my hair and I left the rest down and wavy.

As the event moved onto the evening the dj and dancefloor were opened, the bar was filled and a photobooth box was put up. For anyone that know me I love photos and therefore took full advantage of the photobooth!

It was such a great day/evening and ended with the most amazing firework display!

Did anyone get up to anything intersting this bank holiday?
