Before the grass starts to turn green and the leaves start to turn, we wanted to post this adorable and nature inspired Woodland Baptism Celebration event.  We worked with Miles’ Mom, Stacy, to come up with a fun interactive Baptism celebration where the little guests would have something fun to look at and the overall design would still be elegant and sophisticated enough for the rest of the guests to enjoy:)  When we first started planing the design, we were going to use faux snow to create a wintery woodland scene but Chicago weather had another idea and it ended up being 60 degrees in February!!  Ixnay the snow and add a lot more green moss!

Miles’ Grandpa, made the custom favors of birch pole tea light holders and we wanted the welcome table to play off the perfect favors perfectly. We created a small forest surrounding the table, laid fresh green moss on the table and placed the cutest woodland creatures were throughout the table and trees.

There were four different looks throughout the room to create a small forest.  Each of the looks incorporated a fun woodland creature, either made from bottle brush or from actual wood cut outs.  The trees added height to the room but did not block the view of the guests at the tables. Our favorite look included the little woodland creatures found in glass jars nestled in moss!

The head table was made up of a continuous look of fresh greenery, tree cutouts, and woodland creatures placed on either side of long birch poles placed in the center.  The head table was placed in the center of the room so all the other looks played off this table perfectly!

We wish Miles and his family congratulations on his special day and we hope that Spring actually comes to Chicago (forecast shows for more snow this week!?!)

Have a wonderful Monday everyone!
