I Love the look of mismatched dining chairs as above.

Later this year I will be celebrating my 30th Birthday - scary - where did all those years go??!! I have finally decided on the location and type of party I will be having which will be a weekend long Birthday celebration with 28 of my closest friends at Peppers Spicers Peak Lodge. Peppers is located in the country - approximately 2 hours from where I live in Brisbane. I am planning a special lunch on the Saturday which will be held outside on the grass just in front of the lodge with a long table with custom made tablecloth and napkins, beautiful chairs and dinner plates and lots and lots of beautiful flowers. I thought I would share with you some of the images I have been starting to collect which will eventually inspire me to create my special birthday lunch.

Thanks for all the inspiring pictures that are really useful for me as I am planning my husband's 30th birtday. Since it is in January we won't be able to dine outside, as we live in Sweden and that is the coldest time of year here... However, your pictures made me realize that you can create a summery feeling inside as well!
Thanks Cecilia - so glad to have inspired you today!!!

I know it will be beautiful. I still think you should moonlight as a party planner!
How exciting Anna, the long table with lots of flowers look divine, and I like the sound of a weekend long celebration and lunch held outside :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA! My Birthday is this Friday, so I will be celebrating with you in spirit! All the best.
wow, these pictures are just beautiful. Great inspiration for my backyard that I am getting ready to fix up!!
Anything 'Al fresco' sounds like heaven to me. Also, it will be summer there, right?
Sounds amazing Anna! Love your ideas.
These are beautiful images Anna!!! If this is your inspiration for your birthday party...there's no doubt it will be fabulous :)
Hi Anna,

Cheers!

Anonymous - If you have a problem with me you should speak to me about it instead of leaving me a gutless anonymous comment on my blog.
Happy Birthday! My 30th is coming up as well although It will not be as chic of a party as yours! Love your inspiration pictures!
hey anna :) thought i'd mention more about the last picture you posted... it's from a martha stewart issue and martha's got a copper tabletop sheet thing made for one of her tables... so when you put candles on the copper and put crystal and dim the overhead lights, the whole table glows! (this pic and idea have been in my inspiration files forever!)
happy 30th!
Happy Birthday!
I wish I was a friend of yours....Wish to attend your B-day partt with all beautiful napkins, tablecloth, chiars and lots more...
I just had my 30th birthday party on March 5th with my bf in a fantastic Japanese restaurant.
I love hearing about party plans! I have already started thinking about my 30th B-day celebration for next year. Can't wait to see what you come up with!!
I love the look of mismatched dining chairs.
Happy 30Th birthday! I'm 31 now and I have to say life just feels like it gets better and better as you get older.

Your birthday will be quite a feast. But beware that you will have to top it up at 40. Have fun organizing your 30th.
Request for help: If someone knows who manufactures the dinnerware set on the third picture from the top (the unknown source one), can you let me know on my blog?
