Vintage Pink Baby Shower

I am in love with this VINTAGE PINK BABY SHOWER submitted by Lima Limão! Oh how I adore the soft colors and vintage touches. That hutch is to die for, too.

Here is what Lima Limao had to say about the party- “Lima Limão is Portuguese party design company. We created this Vintage Baby Shower for a girl. The baby’s room was already done and it was perfect for the celebration. The room has vintage furniture that was painted in white, the display cabinet was meant to be used for the babies wardrobe. We used it, along with some of the other furniture, for the set up of the dessert/sweet tables. We used pastel shades of pink and green for the main color palette with lovely vintage illustrations, doilies for the decoration in the banners, and tags (all customized for this theme). Everything turned out very beautiful, delicate, and charming.” Party Styling- Lima Limão

Jewelry Themed Surprise Birthday Luncheon Party

This beautiful JEWELRY THEMED SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY LUNCHEON was submitted by Alexandra Doudian of Enchanted Events & Design. Alexandra was asked to design an event for her client’s mother, who unfortunately, was robbed 2 weeks before her birthday and 4 generations of jewelry was stolen! Her client decided to throw a jewelry themed surprise luncheon for her mom. She asked all of the guests to bring one pair of earrings as a gift for the birthday girl. What a tender idea!

Alexandra said- “I was very inspired by this story and pulled together a simple design with hints of vintage jewelry. The color palette for the party was pink, cream and white with lots of wood accents. The party had a combination of modern colors with rustic accent pieces. For the dessert table I ordered some fabulous custom cookies with beautiful cameos featured on each one. This was huge hit as it closely resembled one of the birthday girl’s favorite broaches which was lost. I also included strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, strawberry parfaits, mini donut rings, strawberry whoppers and a lovely strawberry cake. I used cherry blossoms in white bottles as the backdrop of the table so the beautiful wallpaper could still be visible. For the lunch the ladies were served a variety of salads and roasted vegetables, a mixed juice spritzer, white wine sangria and lemon water. All the tables had fresh flowers which were purchased the day before in the LA flower district and at a farmer’s market by myself and the hostess. At the end of the event all the ladies took home strawberry bath salt favors.” Vendor Credits- Event Design: Enchanted Events & Design Printables: Enchanted Events & Design Photography: Next Exit Photography Cookies: Denise’s Creations
