Welcome To The World Baby Shower + Maternity Leave. Personal.

Hola, Ciao, Aloha…Come and take a peek at the “Welcome to the World” themed baby shower for my sweet baby girl. Simple and sweet was sort of my motto in the decoration aspect of things.  The color pallet I used included very girly pink hues, some coral, and even more glittery gold. I love any sort of arrow or chevron pattern so that was also another running them in the decor. Guests enjoyed food from around the world like, Japanese Sushi as an appetizer, Greek Salad, Italian Fetteccuni and Mexican Red Enchiladas. Desserts were also very worldly, which included sweet treats from Greece, France, the Philippines, and the good ole USA. You know how they say, “You are who you hang with?” Well, I’m so glad this is proving to be true in my case because I have some extremely talented, creative, and helpful friends that offered their services to help bring my baby shower ideas to life. My friends contributed with everything from baked goods, to the elaborate floral centerpieces. I adore anything handmade so for two of the games I had guest literally decorate over three dozen wooden baby hangers with printed fabric that I purchased at one of my favorite stores, Michael Levins in DTLA. Guests also competed to make the cutest and prettiest headbands. Yes, my daughter is going to wear a bow or headband everyday of her baby and toddler life (I’m a slave for fashion). As anyone knows it’s always a rush to the finish line when trying to set-up an event. I tried my best to photograph as many details as possible, but it was kinda impossible because I really wanted to be the hostess with the mostest instead of the “photographer” for my own shower. So, thank you Nea, for also helping out with some of the photography. I hope you do enjoy the little bits and pieces that I was able to capture.

Now it’s time for me to just wait…….and wait for the arrival of our baby girl. Pretty soon our party of three will become a family of four! Until then, I will be on maternity leave from now until late September.

I will still answer inquiries and send out contracts for this coming fall. Like always my October is already getting booked, but this year I am looking forward to taking lovely photos during the week as well!

Please keep my family and I in your prayers!

Hugs,

Evie
