Here’s a little peek at an intimate gathering we hosted at Bligh St. Bistro earlier this year, a very special Birthday dinner.
We decided to go with a Scandinavian theme for the occasion since the birthday girl had spent a lot of time in Denmark and her partner is Swedish. We sensed a running theme in her life that we wanted to reflect in the scrumptious food.
As a little appetiser on arrival we served this yummy pepita dip with golden orange seeded crackers.
Dinner included this fabulously pink, fennel seed roasted beetroot salad with orange and tarragon.
These sage and fennel roast potatoes w. horseradish dressing were a firm favourite of the night.
We couldn’t resist making our own Gravadlax but we also couldn’t resist making it hot pink so we made a beetroot & horseradish cured salmon w. marinated fennel salad.
I made personalised party crowns for each guest with a hand painted, Scandi-inspired leaf pattern inside. The crowns doubled up as place cards and were a fun addition to the dinner table.
In the event that you would like to make some for your next party I’ve included a freebie printable template here, happy days!
And last but not least, for dessert we served individual elderflower jellies w. raspberry iced cream & vanilla meringues. Plates were shiny at the end.
It was so nice to meet such a lovely family and it was a real treat to hear that they enjoyed their evening as much as we did. If you have a special birthday coming up definitely get in touch. We’d love to create something special for you too.
