Soirée by Ria

Who’s ready for a Magnolia themed Baby Sprinkle?! This theme came from our client’s love of Magnolia Market + all things Joanna Gaines.  The Soirée team did a modern approach to the theme by popping shades of blue + gold to compliment the natural beauty of greenery.  Accents included wood stands, farm tables, and simple farmhouse decor.  On the modern side, we used the Malibu collection of tableware which glammed our family style guest table.  Such a cute take on a trending theme!

We’re heading into spring and one of our favorite events that kicks off the season is none other than, Coachella. A fun music festival full of wildflowers, bright decor, and who can forget that Ferris wheel! Here we created a baby girl shower which we like to call, Babychella.

It’s a Jungle out there – Welcome to our Safari Chic baby shower! Hosted at a private estate in San Diego, it was our goal to turn this beautiful backyard into a safari oasis.  Sticking with a modern color palette that included: green, white, and touches of gold, this baby shower was a mixture of tropical, jungle and chic.  The Soirée team created custom signs that were sprinkled throughout the house including a grand welcome sign upon walking in.  This design was carried on from the invitation for all the guests.  We wanted to make the experience of walking to the backyard much like being on a safari, there were various stops on your way with plenty to look at!  Upon walking in, you were greeted by Jamie (day of coordinator) and asked to shake it like a Polaroid picture + sign the guestbook.  From there, you were given a clothes pin to not say…well you know the word!  Next, drop off a gift for the guest of honor and fill out a diaper raffle ticket if you brought some.  As you turned the corner, there were 2 fun activities you could participate in:  Baby’s 1st ABC book, where you chose a letter, colored + signed it.  There was also a onsie making station with fun graphics all in safari theme style with a custom “made with love” sign!  If that wasn’t enough, you were also greeted by the dessert table full of amazing sweets + treats from the greatest vendors!  After that, it was out to the back where tables were decorated with safari animals, balloons and you picked up a glass of Sangria.  The guest of honor had a chair in the middle of all her guest which also worked as a photo booth.  This event was as precious as the cargo it was intended for, Baby Bennett!

Surf’s Up! We LOVED this surf themed destination baby shower in gorgeous Santa Barbara!  Hosted at one of the best beach front restaurants, The Padaro Grill, this baby shower was held in their “backyard” area with breathtaking views of the beach.  Our client and guest of honor chose our Blue Confetti collection for her dessert table which was a perfect pairing for the celebration.  The Soirée team accented with hues of blue + turquoise balloons, scrapbook paper for the center pieces, custom popcorn favors and welcome sign, a onsie garland in the same color palette and of course topped it off with Barefoot wine bottles.  Since the venue was so rich in decor already, adding some of these simple touches is what brought the theme all together.  Truly an amazing place to celebrate something so dear as the anticipated arrival of a new baby!

Pink kisses & confetti dreams are happening in this baby shower brunch we styled!  Set for a shower around the day of hearts, we wanted to add a modern flair to celebrating the birth of Olivia, over waffles the besties.

We designed and styled a birthday party for our dear friend’s daughter, Alice.  The theme was Doc McStuffins and included a head table with treats from all the characters in the cartoon.
