colour the better.
I carefully pull the shiny glass flutes out of the box for each table centrepiece. I fill them with multi-coloured tissue paper and silver tinsel and finish them off with a silver mirror ball to the top as a feature.
Looks awesome so far.
“ Roxy what in the hell would I do without you girlfriend?” Jem asks rhetorically and kisses my cheek while admiring the tables so far.
An older looking black haired lady in a skirt suit comes over to where I am busily working.
“Lovely to see you again Jemma. Come into my office and we will take care of the paperwork,” she tells her and proceeds to lead her through a navy blue door.
I smile at her and give her the nod. “I’ll have all this done before you know it.”
My main job is to finish the tables and make the room come to life for her special night, and challenge accepted. Oh I do love a good challenge…
Onto each circular table I sprinkle a bright pattern of glittered confetti and arrange four more mirror balls evenly around the centrepiece. Lastly I finish off the tables with black napkins that I folded into fans the night before, and each place setting has a little jar of bubbles for later on.
The rectangular catering table is my next project where I have already placed a large shiny purple tablecloth on it. To liven up the blank wall I stick a bright orange disco poster behind it.
The larger circle table is for the cake and desserts that the caterers will be bringing. God I hope the cake looks the way it did in the book.
I remove the lustrous large glass bowls I brought and place them on the table. I will be using them to display marshmallows, liquorice of all sorts and other lollies. I arrange two on either side of the cake display I made earlier in the week by embellishing a cardboard shoe box in hot pink cellophane paper for that shimmery look.
Using my tape again I stick up the numerous posters of seventies pictures for the backdrop of the walls, making sure the word DISCO is in the middle.
I secretly had a banner made that says JEMMA ’S DISCO PARTY, so I tape it up on the blank wall.
“ Delivery order for a Miss Thorne,” I hear a young male voice state from behind me.
I turn to see the most beautiful clusters of balloons. I had them ordered perfect to match the bright colours and seventies theme.
“Oh they are just perfect,” I tell the delivery man as I take the six clusters from him. Two are groups of ten multi coloured balloons on weights to go on either side of the dance floor and the others I will have floating up to the ceiling and tied to the main table for an extra feature.
“ Thanks so much,” I tell him as he hands me the invoice, knowing it’s all been paid for I fold it up and tuck it away.
“ Enjoy your night,” he tells me smiling and heads out the door.
“ Right,” I say out loud and I busy myself to finish the balloons, feature tables and the rest of the decorations that need arranging. I’m hoping to surprise Jemma by the time she gets back.
Thirty minutes later the masterpiece is almost complete.
“Oh my god Roxy, are you trying to make me cry?” I hear Jemma’s voice coming up behind me. “You truly are amazing, this looks fucking fantastic,” she tells me as she crash tackles me into a bear hug.
“ Yay I am so glad you love it. Just wait till the DJ has the lights flashing, smoke machine, and strobe lights going, girlfriend. This will be the best seventies party the world has ever seen,” I tell her and I make a mental note to take photos for my graphic design portfolio before I leave.
“ Jemma how many do you think are coming?” I ask her to make sure the settings are right, as I know Jem has a lot of friends being the party girl that she is.
“ Like eighty last count with around five maybes,” she tells me.
Jemma has worked in the local Veterinary clinic for four years, after completing her degree and has won three awards so far for Valuable Employee, mostly due to her bubbly
