Lemon Yellow, George’s Baptism Celebration

Lemons in the event design? Yes, please!! This Lemon Yellow event was put together for baby George’s Baptism Celebration and we can’t even begin to tell you how much fun we had using all the natural elements like tall fresh branches, pretty yellow and white floral arrangements, and lots and lots of lemons provided by George’s wonderful Mom, Michelle.  We’ve had the pleasure of working with Michelle before, Engagement Party and Bridal Shower, and we were beyond honored to design and work on this event for her adorable and sweet baby boy!!

We kicked off the event with bright yellow custom invitations with a layer of blue and a natural looking wood backing.  For the envelope liners we went with a lemon print and of course coordinated the table number frames to match. The welcome table was made up a beautiful tall arrangement with lots of different green textures and pops of yellow.  The place cards were shaped like a lemon leaf and attached to a fresh lemon making it for a fun and unexpected entrance piece.

The tall pieces throughout the room added great height, while the long rectangular tables had a very linear design with tall white lanterns, adorned with blue and yellow ribbons, cylinders filled with lemons and lots and lots of candles going down the center of the table. The cutest little kids table was made up of adorable tiny chairs and simple floral pieces in the center.

The head table was made up of fresh greenery, hanging candles and beautiful yellow garden roses.  Our signature look of smaller, continuous pieces down the center of the table were made up of floral arrangements, lemon filled glass cylinders and candles, of course, making it for a full table design while not obstructing the view of the guests.

The celebration also included a gorgeous cake by The Baking Institute, we absolutely love their designs and their natural & delicious ingredients, for George’s lovely Grandmother!  How sweet is that?? Happy Birthday Vaso xoxoxo!

We wish baby George and his family congratulations on his special day!! We love you guys! Here’s to the wonderful ‘heat wave’ we are having here in Chicago:)

Chevron Bow Tie Cutie, Charbel’s Christening Celebration

Chevron print details AND bow ties?? Yes, that sounds perfect for a little guy’s Baptism celebration.  When we talked to Rita, we only had a few weeks to put together her son’s Baptism.  We love a good challenge but we also loved working with her idea of incorporating chevron and bow ties to the decor.

Maggiano’s at Old Orchard has wonderful banquet rooms found in their lower level.  The room is pretty dark with a lot of wood detail so we wanted to make sure we brighten up everything with a playful yet elegant design.

We used different shades of blue and greys throughout the decor pieces and only used different types of white flowers with a pop of blue hydrangeas.  We hung silver lanterns from the ceiling and used lots of fun paper lanterns and pinwheels to create a fun display over the dessert tables.

Little bow tie details were found throughout the glass cylinders and chevron covered risers, ribbon details and runners were placed throughout the tables.  The overall event felt very fun, festive and modern.

Baby Charbel and his older sister had a beautiful photo session and the little guy was wrapped in a pretty chevron print blanket (how adorable are they?!?) so we couldn’t resist but use a chevron print tote bin for his well wishes cards.

The sweet table was made up of beautiful pastries and adorable cookies by Evon’s Sweet Creations  and we used pretty ribbon and paper flower details, provided by Rita, to create a fun blue and white candy bar.

Wishing Charbel and his family congratulations on his special day.  Rita, it was so much fun working with you!

Have a great weekend everyone,
