Stonehaven hosted its first ever formal dance for the rhetoric students at the start of the year too. They called it The Starlit Ball. Lily had a fantastic idea to host a "Brunch & Bouquet" party that morning. This was a brunch to spend time together and then putting flower bouquets together for pictures later on in the evening. All the girls from the class as well as the girls from other schools who were coming as dates of some of the guys were invited. Most of them RSVP'ed they could make it. Lily put so much work and effort into getting everything ready. I was so impressed with how creative she was!
Way to go Lily!
She bought so many beautiful flowers from Trader Joes to use for the bouquets and found some pretty ribbons to tie them up.
I made the food for the party (sausage casserole, pigs in a blanket, bacon, cheese grits, and fruit with dip), and Lily put together a very impressive charcuterie board. She had carafes of orange juice, sweet tea, and water out as well. She hand decorated around each of the items and each place setting. It came together perfectly and looked absolutely beautiful!
I am proud of her for putting this together!
Look how pretty all their bouquets turned out!
Mia looked absolutely beautiful in her purple gown!
Mia was excited to invite her friend, Judson, to attend with her. He used to attend Stonehaven but transferred to Pebblebrook for their magnet performing arts program. They've remained friends with a shared love of theater. How cool that he matched with a purple shirt!
Lily was absolutely beautiful in her navy dress; look how great the bouquet looks with it!
Lily's classmate, Nate Grote, asked her to go to the ball with him. His mom made a gorgeous wrist corsage for Lily which she loved.
Lily and Nate left a little early to head to the Marietta Square where the seniors were meeting up for a photo shoot together. Don't these kids look great?
Lots of Stonehaven kids in this picture! Lily and Mia are both right in the front.
The girls left home at different times, so I wasn't able to get any pictures of them together all dressed up beforehand. I was so excited they took a picture for me at the dance!
It was fun to see several pictures from the evening!
The classes had all choreographed dance routines to perform. Way to go Mia and the sophomore class for taking home the trophy!
The Miley family hosted an after party for the 12th and 10th graders since they have Raegan and Hudson in both classes. I didn't see a class picture for Mia, but Lily's class all changed into comfy pajamas to hang out and snap this one. I love these kids!
Overall, I'd say this night was quite a success!
