{ All White Surprise Party } Events | St. Helena
What do you get when you have amazing friends with style & flair…an all-white surprise party complete with a stylized photo shoot with all of your best friends as models. This event had all the best Napa Valley has to offer on a beautiful late summer evening. The birthday girl was beyond amazed!
Huge Kudos to Robb Smith | Laurels Events for the dream and for all of Kirsten’s friends for making it happen!
The group gathered in the vineyards behind the birthday girl’s house. 
As soon as they knew she was out of her house, the re-design took effect. In 10 minutes flat!
The pose was set and ready for her surprise.
