Baby, Baby, Baby: Baby Shower Feature

We have been so busy with our clients' events recently that we have not posted in quite a while, so here is a quick post just to keep you up to date! We did these invites for a repeat client a couple months back, and we got good reviews on them! The host wanted an orange and pink color scheme to match the linens and other decor and here is what we did (we were so happy that the honoree loved the invite - we just love our repeat customers)

And Baby Makes...: Baby Shower Feature

A few months back we advised that we would be temporarily halting client consultations, and alot of our Facebook friends wanted to know why. We promised that we would let you all know the reason in due time, so here it is:

On Sunday, September 5th at 4:11 a.m., we welcomed a beautiful baby boy into this world! Our son, born at 7lbs, 7 oz, is truly a blessing. We therefore took some time off to enjoy our new bundle of joy while working on various projects we had already committed to.

We are sharing one of the first (of hundreds :-) ) shots taken during a photo shoot with photographer Warren Grant, who we found out about after he did an engagement session for some friends. He also took some shots that will be included in our next wedding feature. You can visit his website HERE or his Facebook page HERE

For our SURPRISE baby shower I created the invites - Yes it was a surprise. Here were the instructions I received... "Design the invites and leave a space for the date/time/venue". My family insisted that I design the invites because that way they could ensure that the stationery would be to my liking - how cute :)

The invitation colors were mint and chocolate (which were incorporated in everything from the decorations to the oh so yummy cake!) The dot motif on the three layer invitation 'just happened', but strangely enough this season saw LOTS of baby items in green and brown with dot/circle motifs! Focus was placed on the fact that we were not finding out the baby's gender, and to reflect this, we used a boy/girl teddy bear graphic outlined with a question mark. The invitation also contained a matching outer seal.

Vendor Spotlight: Lullaby!

Over the past few months we have been featuring various wedding vendors in our "vendor spotlight" section. The company we decided to feature this time is not a "wedding vendor", but since the demand for our baby shower and kiddie party invites has been increasing steadily, many of our blog readers can no doubt benefit from what this company has to offer.

We stumbled across this store, and fell in love with it instantly! We don't know if it's the decor, awesome selection, reasonable prices, or friendly staff that keeps us coming back...or perhaps it's just the perfect combination :-). Located on Mackey Street, in Nassau, Bahamas, Lullaby carries the cutest line of kid's casual and formal clothing, accessories, christening gowns, hair care products, etc. They also stock chic mommy-must-have's such as diaper bags and changing pads.
