Carnival Baby Shower

On September 13, in Mission Hills at Adobe Pico Park, My husband and I celebrated the upcoming arrival of our baby at our Carnival Baby Shower.

Baby on the way...very soon actually

Event Coordinator and Designer, Lina Wallace of A Stunning Affair took our theme to the next level. Her and her team executed what was a flawless and very detailed event.  We were actually able to enjoy ourselves and our guests since we weren’t runnng around trying to get everything done.  Hiring Lina from the begining was the best choice we made.  Both of us work full time and with the baby to plan for, we just didn’t want the added stress of planning a party for 85 guests. 

To capture the event was Michael of Forever True Photography.  Michael always impressess with his attention to detail shots.  Working with Michael is so refreshing…he knows how important the detail shots are which is why referring him to clients is so easy.

Yummy treats at the dessert station were a huge hit.  Ofcourse I had to make sure there were donuts..my favorite bad food of all time.  Lina set up a fabulous station using different sized jars and stands.  All were labeled and wrapped in ribbon (Lina did that ofcourse).  We purchased cute boxes from the Oriental Trading Company for guests to take snacks home in…I didn’t even get one piece!!!

Miguel surprised me with an amazing Noahs Ark Baby Shower cake with handmade animals…two by two ofcourse. Inside was delicious vanilla cake, raspberry jam and chocolate buttercream….my favorite. 

Noahs Ark

Now it’s just a matter of days before our little bundle of joy is out with us.  The sooner baby is here…the sooner baby can get to work on helping at the bakery..just kidding. 

The Knot Magazine at Dodger Stadium

Nothing makes you feel more like a star than seeing your company logo on the Jumbo Screen at Dodger Stadium.  Thanks to Mary Sushinski of Occasions, Lina Wallace of A Stunning Affair and Monique Matlock of The Knot, A Sweet Design provided pastries to over 300 guests. Capturing the event was no other than Red Loft Studios. I can’t wait until they post pictures.

Brittni and I had a great time eating the yummy crab legs provided by The Dodger Stadium Catering Company.  Then it was off to Shutter Booth for some great snap shots.  To cap the evening off…and rest my sore feet, I had a steaming hot latte from The Cappuccino Connection (who had an amazing display of all their fancy machines) along with a just-from-the-fryer-donut from The Fry Girl Inc.  I was secretly craving those donuts since I found out they would be there.

I had a great time and am really glad to have participated in the event with The Knot.  Thank you!!!!
