A neutral color palette and a koala themed baby shower is everything right now! We just can’t get over all the cuteness. We were so excited to be part of this adorable event for Kat and the talented planners at Beijos Events. We had a great time working with them. Corrie Lynn Photography captured all the beautiful details and the gorgeous parents-to-be beautifully!

This party just goes to show you that neutrals aren’t boring! They can be just as vibrate and interesting as any other color palette. My favorite is how they used multiple types of textures to create depth in this gorgeous display. The rentals are from Create a Party and Crowned Rentals.

No party is complete without balloons nowadays and we are loving these inflated accents from The Pop Shop. They tie in perfectly with the floral palette to make the transitions just seamless! The florals are soft and luscious but I love how Love Struck Blooms included some dry palms to help create that “wild animal” and “koala” theme.

The super talented Pirouette Paper did all of these cute stationary details. They turned out so cute and flawlessly fit into the whole theme without shouting it in your face. She killed it with the light shades she used and the fonts! I just always love her work.

Obviously, one of my favorite parts of this party are the stir sticks we did for her. To say I’m obsessed with these koala stir sticks, is a complete understatement. I had so much fun with these and I think they turned out so cute! Any drink is automatically elevated when you have a little koala hanging off a branch in your drink right? Of course, our traditional hashtag stir sticks are still as popular as ever. They are legible, trendy, and always a hit with guests. We are always honored to be part of someone’s special occasion, but we really had a great time working with Kat on this event. I hope she loves them as much as we did!

The desserts you guys, lets talk about these adorable desserts! These amazing goodies come from Really Cute Sweets and she just knocks it out of the park. The cake is still in those neutral colors but full of texture to keep it within theme and eye catching. I’m sure it was just as delicious as it looks! And then there are these ridiculously precious koala cookies. I can’t handle the cuteness! She’s so talented!

The delicious catering is from the always amazing, Taylor Made Catering. They had such a yummy display for the party guests. I can’t look at the pictures for too long or my stomach will start to growl.

We are so excited for this couple to embark on this new parenthood journey. It’s such a blessing and we know they are going to be head over heels for their new bundle as soon as they arrive. We wish them the absolute best!

Spring is just a few weeks away and we couldn’t be more ready for it! I’m ready for the flowers, the warmer temperatures, and more daylight!

We are so excited to be launching a new product this week.

Our personalized wooden eggs are perfect for any Easter basket, hostess gift, or place card for your holiday table. Since this is our first year selling these, we’ve limited our availability. There is a possibility of a restock but we wouldn’t count on it.

So don’t wait if you want one, get your order in as soon as you can!

I know most people consider Valentine’s Day to be the holiday for lovers but I love when we can celebrate how love shows up in all forms; especially in friendships. I’m 1000% behind any type of Galentine’s Day celebration. I was so grateful when I was asked to join this adorable shoot with Amy from White Blossom Events. I was even more excited when she asked Evelyn to join in the fun! Evelyn and Amy’s daughter Faith had hit it off the last time we got to have tea at our favorite tea house, Morning Lavender. I knew Evelyn would have a great time.

Look how adorable these girls are?! The dresses are from Alice and Ames and I’m in love with them. They are so well made and the material is so soft and swingy. They are perfect for dancing, jumping, and playing. The color palettes for each season are always right on the mark too. I’m anxiously awaiting for the next release! The bows, purses, and other accessories on the girls are from My Little Precious Co. Evelyn was super into all the little accessories and what is a girl day without accessorizing?! As a wise lady once said, “The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize!”

The whole set up is just to die for. When we walked into the patio at the gorgeous Morning Lavender, Evelyn and I both sighed with all the prettiness. The planning, designing, and styling by these three talented ladies, Amy from White Blossom Events, Sally from Pretty Little Events, and Cindy from Sweetlee Made is just unmatched in perfection and attention to detail.

Anytime we get an opportunity to head over to Morning Lavender, we take it! I can’t say enough things about all the clothes, the teas, the tea service. In my mind, Morning Lavender is synonymous with “girls day”. It’s woman and BIPOC owned and Kim Le is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet! She’s just a big hearted, smart woman and one of my role models.

The curation of talented vendors is what makes any party, big or small, successful. Amy has definitely currated her group incredibly well. The sweets were the center of all the little girls’ attention. Sweetlee Made and Sweets by Keeks really out did themselves! We got those girls to pose and smile just as much as we wanted with the promise that they’d eventually be able to dig into those treats! I might’ve snuck a cookie for myself too and they were so yummy!!

Rentals can be a bit of a budget breaker but you really only need a few pieces to make a space pop. Finding cute kid size table and chair rentals can be challenging too, but Sweet Salvage Rentals has the most adorable kid party rentals. These were a perfect match for our Galentine’s Day Tea Party. I’ve been stalking their site since I’ll be planning a party soon myself, they have so many cute things!

The tea set is actually from Amazon and I’m totally getting myself my own set. You can order it here.

The beautiful and absolutely perfect florals were by Jovial Floral Co. She took that palette and matched it to complete perfection. The roses were such the perfect shade of pink and creams. It smelled heavenly. Let’s be real, no tea party is complete without beautiful florals! Jovial Floral Co. did not fail!

I love any opportunity to work with an amazing group of vendors. For this event we did heart shaped white acrylic stir sticks for the little girls to stir their sugar into their tea. They were so cute swirling them around. For place cards we did wooden pink painted heart place cards with names in white acrylic. Nothing elevates an event quicker than a place card right? Lastly, we did a wood “galentine’s” sign that was painted gold for the backdrops. I love being able to see our products in real life, I don’t usually get to. I ship them off or drop them off to a planner or client and I get pictures back. However, seeing everyone’s reactions, the little girls’ excitement, it was so fun! My favorite part though was the little bit of pride in Evelyn’s voice when she said “my mommy made them”.

The girls were given these adorable Hello Kitty masks from My Little Precious Co. and it immediately became one of Evelyn’s favorite masks. They are so light and comfortable for her to wear. They fit her little face just right with a great snug fit around her sides. I’ve ordered some more for her because they are so cute and comfortable for her. Anything to make it easier on her!

Of course, give a group of little girls accessories and they went crazy! Evelyn is still talking about the adorable purse she got to model. My Little Precious Co. has so many adorable high end accessories for little girls. We also have their placemats and when we go out to restaurants, they are always a huge hit. My girls love them!

Paper and Ink Designs did a fantastic job pulling everything together to create this gorgeous invitation for a flowery Galentine’s Day tea party. Go see her work when you have a chance, she’s amazing!

The amazing talent behind the camera is none other than the sweet Joy from Joy Theory Photography. She is so great with kids and capturing all the moments quickly and putting the kids at ease. The things she sees in the camera lenses versus what I see, just goes to show how talented she is. I was so excited to collaborate with her again. I was even more grateful to her when she offered to snap a couple of pictures of me with my girls. Hazel wasn’t the best model, but I will always cherish these moments that she captured. I can’t wait to work with her again professionally and personally!

I love a good Galentine’s Day celebration and I’m excited to make this a tradition for my girls.

Do you celebrate Galentine’s Day?
