George and Laura Bush Had a Truly Pinterest-Worthy 70th Birthday Party
The co-party is often a compromise for friends, family, and couples whose birthdays are in close proximity to one another. But there is one couple who got it right: None other than President George W. Bush and Laura Bush, who recently celebrated their 70th birthday together at their Prarie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas. (President George W. Bush's birthday was July 6, while Laura's birthday is coming up on November 4.)
You can see the influence of both honorees at the event, from the flawless table settings that reflected Laura's classic style, to the private tours President Bush gave of Studio 43, his art studio.
The ranch created a lovely backdrop for the event, which was held in an outdoor tent that didn't obstruct the views. We can also see how the location might have inspired the centerpieces, which combined rustic wood and white bouquets that had a slightly-casual country feel ... that also felt very on-point for Pinterest. The star of the night was country legend George Strait, who also took the stage with President Bush.
The country chic vibe did somewhat remind us of another famous Texas couple, Chip and Joanna Gaines. While we didn't see if they were in attendance, Laura Bush's Instagram account revealed that she and President Bush were recently at Magnolia Silos for an event that honored wounded veterans:
Perhaps we'll see one of President Bush's paintings in one of Joanna's projects? Hmm.
