Winter Woodland Themed Baby Shower

December 20, 2017

I can’t believe in just 2 short months, our baby boy will be arriving!

Although the nursery is far from done, it’s clear to see that Baby Jackson Danny is already loved and spoiled by so many. Starting with a Winter Woodland themed baby shower my sister threw me earlier this month, complete with a chili bar, hot cocoa bar, and a ridiculously delicious dessert bar. Family and friends gathered and showered me and Jackson with so much love, gifts and diapers! 🙂

Here are a few pics from the beautiful event…

29 Weeks Blessed

I highly recommend having a diaper raffle! We got so many diapers ranging in size from newborn to stage 4. It’s one less expense for us to worry about as new parents.

Tables were decorated with tree trimmings, baby’s breath and little woodland creatures.

Doooooooonuuuuuts!!!

My favorite, hands down, were the Blueberry Glaze and the Peanut Butter & Jelly donuts. Yum!

All desserts, including the amazing vanilla cake with berries, was homemade by my sister. And yes, the cake tasted exactly the way it looks! Amazingly delicious!

The lucky winner got to take home a prize as well as the jar of 314 gummy bears.

I love the idea of a creative activity to entertain guests with. It’s a nice change to the over played baby shower games. After the blocks were decorated, we put them all in a bag and I randomly drew a block for a winning prize.

Decorate a Block

Please lend your creativity to decorate a block for Jackson Danny.
So while he is playing he will know he is loved by many.
Feel free to use a stencil or draw freely.
Just don’t forget to sign your name on the block.

What party isn’t complete without a party favor?

These all natural Rosemary Lavender soaps were the perfect size to package up and gift to all the guests.

From Irena’s Shower to Yours! Thank you

We are beyond blessed and grateful to have the support system that is our family & friends.

jane austen inspired bridal shower tea party

December 8, 2015

Here are some pics from a recent Jane Austen inspired bridal shower tea party my sister hosted for our cousin. I helped create the invitations, party favors, and the decor used throughout the party.

A custom silhouette of the bride-to-be was used on the invite as well as the party favors, which were lavender scented sachets.

Small tea cup floral arrangments, Jane Austen books and quotes were used as decoration throughout the house.

daddy’s little girl

June 21, 2015

while some girls dream of what dress they will wear as they walk down the aisle on their wedding day. i dreamed of taking that walk down the aisle with my dad as he proudly gives me away to a man he respects and loves. probably the main reason i chose to have a full wedding ceremony, instead of just settling for city hall.

thank you Dad for always being by my side since i was little, to catch me when i fall, to somehow always knowing how to fix what is broken and to help guide and support me through all of life’s lessons.

happy father’s day!

xo, ina

January 19, 2015

this past weekend my mom and sister threw me a bridal shower and to describe it in one word… PERFECTION!

it was a kate spade inspired theme, from the black, white, and pink colors, to the dots, stripes and quotes scattered throughout the house. the bubbly was flowing, the ladies laughing, and my heart bursting with so much joy!

my clients jana, from Jana Williams Photography and bess, from Celadon & Celery did a youtube video last year on how to make flower rings and i suggested this idea to my sister as a great little activity for each guest to do when they arrived. it was such a huge hit with all the ladies and definitely something i recommend if you want to offer a fun activity for your guests, but you’re not into the typical bridal shower games.

i chose a pink ranunculus flower for my ring, which matched oh-so perfectly with my pink heels. 🙂
