Baby Anthoula’s Adorable Baptism Celebration took place in  the gorgeous ballroom at Cafe La Cave in Des Plaines. Connie, Anthoula’s Mom, wanted an elegant event with pretty girly details including lace and pearls but with natural elements of branches and burlap touches.  We used a lot of gold accents to work with the lovely room and fresh florals made up of pretty white hydrangeas, mini pink garden roses, fresh eucalyptus, berries and rice flower to add wonderful textures to the arrangements.  Connie also provided the runners that added another layer to the table decor and the lovely favors were brought in from Greece.

The welcome table included our pretty place cards with deep gold backing attached to the favors and Anthoula’s beautiful cake on a gold riser.  A cluster of floral arrangements were placed on the table along with some Jordan Almonds in a darling milk glass bowl.

The tables were divided into three looks.  We used our favorite manzanita trees to add height and adorned them with hanging pearls, lace, glass domes with mini garden roses nestled in fresh moss  and hanging candles.  The gold bowl arrangements were full and were accompanied by three candle holders with burlap, lace and pearl details.  The last look included a cluster of different vases, including milk glass, mason jars and gold vessels.  Some of the vases had burlap, lace and pearl details and together they created a beautiful eclectic mix on the table.  The candles found throughout the room added a marvelous glow in the early fall evening celebration.

Our favorite part included the baby grand piano in the room, the perfect showpiece to place Anthoula’s delightful name on.  Angie makes the prettiest custom lace and burlap flowers so a few were found on her name as well as on the gold well wishes vase.  The small eclectic mix of florals placed on the gold mirror on the piano completed this look and made for a great focal part of the room.

We wish Anthoula and her family congratulations on her special day!

Have a wonderful day everyone!
