Bless this Nest Baby Shower 4.13.13

I am so excited to finally share our Bless this Nest baby shower on the blog. It was so much fun hunting for all the rustic/ vintage pieces that would help in the styling and creation of this concept for mama to be Lannie.

Since this is baby #2 for the gorgeous mama to be, I couldn't help but fall in love with this very fitting rustic wire bucket, it was such a great find! It served as an awesome styling prop, we included some baby onesies and a pair of vintage looking baby boots.

Table Top setting: for a delicate rustic concept, we dressed the tables in white linens and hand-laced burlap runners. For centerpieces white bird cages were nested on birch wood flat slabs, mason jars adorned with lace contained twine-tied bunches of jip (babysbreath) and mason jelly jars wrapped in twine contained floater candles. Round wood slabs were used as table numbers- numbers were stenciled with paint. White chair covers and hand-tied burlap sashes dressed the chairs.

Rustic Dessert Table: Vintage looking baby onesie cookies were nested on square birchwood slabs adorned with doilies. The cookies were so delicious!

Escort cards were printed on kraft stock and were displayed on birchwood logs.

A rustic baby bookshelf was displayed and was quickly filled with baby books brought in by guests.

The bookshelf was built from wine crates.

Some more escort cards, these were hanging from a moss frame.

They were attached to twine with baby clothespins.

70 Years Young - Frank Sinatra at The Graycliff 2.24.13

Start spreading the news...

A special celebration to celebrate a special man turning 70 years young.

How else do you celebrate 70 years of life? Well, we surrounded this special guy with all his favorite things; Family, Friends, Food and Frank Sinatra. Lot of F's there...we had a Fabulous time.

Details.

Looking through my storage, I found a few old Sinatra records and some of them turned out to be the perfect guestbook.

This silver microphone and Frank's oil painting were a perfect find and made awesome props for the escort card table.

Invitations consisted of 3 layer stack cards in black, silver and white.

Escort cards were adorned with the NYC skyline and a caricature of Frank Sinatra.

Guestbook Sign. I love this. So true. Perfect fit.

Tabletop.

We opted for a Hollywood Glam/50's concept and created Ostrich Feather centerpieces nested on trumpet vases filled with jelly fillers and lit via white foralytes to simulate soft spot lighting. The lit white feathers popped over the black tuxedo linens.
