If your love of bow ties is as big as this preggo's baby shower then the details in this party are a must see!
From the day she was old enough to have an opinion this sassy lady had to be involved in every party planned for her, however for this event everything was kept a surprise! From the handmade bow-ties given as pins when guests walked in to the exquisite place settings.
The "Little Man" baby shower took place under a gorgeous royal poinciana tree, which as you can tell from the photos was the perfect spot for 80+ guests inclusive only of ladies. Food included a yummy warm paella followed by a variety of cake pops and vanilla cake.
You truly felt as if you were sitting in a modern style Alice of Wonderland tea party minus the team.

Special thanks
to a very talented crew of planners (Mom, Tata, Mel & Bibi),
which not only setup party but divided task to make this shower extra special!
When the news hit the stands that Melissa was expecting twins the ideas were endless. Her love for animals and burlap made this party planning simple. We grabbed all of her favorite things and came up with this chic Safari theme shower. Shower was held at the adorable Peacock Garden Cafe in Coconut Grove, Florida, which has a few private areas to host parties. Key pieces in the shower were handmade such as the table cloths, wooden dessert stands and mason jar animal cracker filled party favors.

Special thanks
to a very talented crew of planners (Susy, Wela, Tata & Julie), which not only setup party but divided task such as finding and ordering invites, shopping for party decor and making dessert stands.
For Victoria and Mason's first birthday we wanted to create something
fun and spectacular with a Vintage theme. It was decided a Vintage Carnival would be a
great way to celebrate their first year. It took several months to
plan but definitely worth the endless hours and preparation!
We
created the party around a metal Ferris wheel Melissa had purchased
while she was pregnant. At the time she had fallen in love with it with
nowhere
to put it or no use for it at the time (as most purchases) but she knew
she would find its purpose
someday. There were many unique elements with a lot of personal touches.
Once the invitation was completed everything fell into place...
There
was everything from homemade pound cake, drink stand, sweets of every
kind, face painter, live animal show, ice cream truck and burlap
galore.
It
truly was an amazing way to celebrate the twins first birthday, which
ended with a cupcake feast. We cannot wait to celebrate their second
birthday!
