{birthdays | amber's french inspired 16th birthday celebration | pomona}

During the early part of 2014, I was very fortunate to have spent a lot of quality time with some special families who were planning different birthday celebrations for their loved ones in the summer. Connie and her family was one of those families that I really enjoyed working with in preparation for Amber's french inspired 16th birthday celebration. Connie wanted to to make sure to take time and celebrate Amber with all of their family and friends in tow.

The backdrop for this fun event was at the Mountain Meadows Golf Club in Pomona and it's lush grounds make the perfect background for photos with Amber and her family. We created tablescapes for each of the guests' tables that included a small floral arrangements, table names, white lanterns and candles. For the table names, we asked Connie to choose words that would suit Amber best - intelligent, beautiful, creative were a few of the ones we translated in french.

Some of our favorites from Amber’s party included:

- The almost 20 foot dessert station filled with over a dozen different mini desserts from Merengue Bakery and 16 of Amber's favorite candy.
- Mini dainty favor boxes filled with sour patch watermelon candies (the birthday girl's favorite)
- The ribbon garland that served as the backdrop for our yummy dessert station
- Table centerpieces that included roses, ranunculus and dahlias.

Thank you again to Connie and Amber for choosing us to be a part of this special event and for the trust they gave us to create a vision for Amber's party.

{events | an ombre pink baptism for charlotte | brea}

I feel like I have so much to blog about and share since I have neglected the blog during the early part of 2014. Staying consistent with the blog has definitely been a challenge for me but now that I have some time to catch up and I’m glad to be back.

We were very honored to have been asked to plan this very pretty in pink baptismal celebration for a sweet little girl, Charlotte Belle. Charlottte’s parents contacted us for help in planning and designing for their little girl’s first celebration. Our inspiration for Charlotte’s party was really focused on a piece of fabric – in fact it was a shower curtain I found while window shopping at Kohl’s. Yes, it’s true that you can find party inspiration everywhere even with your shower curtains. I really like the ruffle detailing on the curtain that offered so much feminine details along with the ombre pink color palette -- I knew it was the perfect backdrop for Charlotte’s dessert set up.

Some of our favorites from Charlotte’s party included:

-          Dainty floral centerpieces in mason jars filled with ranunculus and dahlias.

-          Giant pink balloons (I’m obsessed with these!!) with an ombre pink tassel garlands as accent provided the perfect whimsy for this event

-          The wishing tree where guests got to write their prayers, blessings and hopes for Charlotte as she gets older.

-          Dessert table filled with some yummy treats from French macarons courtesy of Merely Sweets, mini fruit tarts and cheese rolls from Porto’s and some yummy s’mores and Oreo cookies handcrafted by one of Charlotte's family member.

Our special thank you to the Quitangon family for choosing us to be a part of Charlotte’s baptismal celebration. She is such a blessed little girl that is loved by many.
