Well designed events: Fall 2009

My dear friend Keli is expecting her first child in the spring and her baby shower was amazing! Shocking for me to refer to a shower as amazing because I generally have negative feelings towards them. A gathering solely focused on the alien looking human being inside a friend is less than entertaining.. especially when there is no wine involved! This shower however, set a standard that has forever changed my opinon about them. I think it was the thoughtfulness of design that earned my appreciation for this type of event. Friends, take note...!


Our friend Liz was the mastermind and host of the shower. She opened up her home in Long Beach, CA and transformed her patio into a place out of a fairytale; butterflies and flowers will forever be a girls dream. Our inner child was really joyful :)


The pink chairs were rented from Baker party rentals in Costa Mesa and a portion of the cost was donated to the Susan G. Koman breast cancer society!

Lovely!

This is one of my favorite things...the candy table! Such a fun way to utilize something so inexpensive to create a stunning presentation.

Tea and cookies anyone? Yes, please!

I wanted us all to have the chance to create something special for Keli and baby Kenzie so I put together these little takeout boxes filled with fabric and paint to design onesies!
