As a mother, events centered around celebrating the journey of motherhood resonate deeply with me. The "Inspired by Motherhood" event that was hosted by Be Inspired PR, beautifully captured the essence of motherhood in all its facets. From the heartfelt connections forged between fellow mothers to the creative and inspiring displays that adorned the venue, every detail was a testament to the power and beauty of motherhood. As I reflect on my own journey as a mother, events like these serve as reminders of the strength, love, and joy that define the experience of motherhood and I was grateful to have been apart of such a beautiful and special event.

At the helm of this heartfelt celebration were a group of incredibly talented women who poured their passion and expertise into every detail. Leading the charge was Leila from Be Inspired PR, known for her knack for crafting unforgettable experiences that touch the soul. Providing the enchanting backdrop was The Revery a sanctuary of elegance and warmth where the special guest mothers gathered to connect and celebrate. Orchestrating the magic was Gianna San Filippo, whose creativity and attention to detail transformed the space into a colorful haven, adorned with delicate touches and thoughtful arrangements. Behind the lens was Lisette Gatliff, whose amazing ability to capture emotion and beauty in every frame, perfectly summarized the day.

The event's ambiance was a symphony of vibrant colors and warm detailed touches, thanks to the meticulous attention to detail in the decor. Hello Pretty Events provided the space with a gorgeous backdrop that served as the perfect canvas for the center of the event. Hidden Garden's exquisite floral arrangements added the showcase of the day with their color blocking arrangements down the tables, infusing the venue with fragrant charm. Balloon Avenue's whimsical balloon installations added a playful yet sophisticated element to the decor. Complementing these enchanting elements were the chic rentals provided by Collective Rentals and La Pinata.

Colette's Catering curated a culinary experience that was as delightful as it was delectable, serving up a vibrant and sumptuous multicourse brunch. To kick off the event in style, guests were treated to welcome mocktail drinks served from Hoddebros‘s charming Airstream. These refreshing beverages were adorned with tags and stir sticks provided by yours truly, Delovely Details, adding a stylish flair to each sip. Additionally, we provided place cards guiding guests to their seats, and tags adorning every swag bag, ensuring a cohesive and visually stunning experience from start to finish. As they walked in with a mocktail in hand, they were greeted also with the beautiful music of On The Beat Music Agency.

I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for Spring!

We are beyond excited to share a dreamy styled photo shoot at the brand new venue hosted by our wonderful pals at Pretty Little Events.

With Pretty Little Events at the helm, every corner of the venue was transformed into a haven of springtime elegance and warmth.

So grab your favorite drink, cozy up, and join us as we take you behind the scenes of this magical collaboration—it's a journey you won't want to miss!

Let's talk about this stunning venue— The Anerton Warehouse. It's an absolute gem with endless possibilities! Picture clean white walls that serve as a blank canvas, just waiting to be adorned with your unique vision. And let's not forget the practical perks—it comes equipped with bathrooms and a kitchenette, ensuring convenience and comfort for you and your guests throughout your event. With such a versatile and well-appointed space, the possibilities are truly limitless. Whether you're hosting a birthday party, bridal or baby shower, intimate wedding, or just a special gathering, this venue sets the stage for unforgettable moments.

Walking into the space, you are immediately greeted by a stylish setup that ticks all the boxes for both functionality and aesthetics. From the elegant wooden dining table, adorned with sleek black and rattan chairs, to the chic bar setup that beckons guests to gather 'round and raise a toast, every piece is thoughtfully curated to elevate your event experience. Not to mention the exquisite dishware rentals, adding an extra touch of sophistication to your dining experience. Lastly, the charming shelving unit, seamlessly matching the chairs to create a cohesive look that ties the whole space together. Thanks to Create A Party, every detail is meticulously planned and executed, ensuring that your event is nothing short of extraordinary

We’ve worked with Create A Party many times and they always just astound us with their talents and rental pieces.

There were enchanting floral arrangements adorning every corner of the venue! Sprays of peach, pink, and white blooms intertwined with lush greens create a breathtaking tapestry of color and texture. From the favor display to the bar, the tables, and even around the bubble house, these gorgeous floral creations by Linda at LV Floral Events add a touch of natural beauty and elegance to every nook and cranny of the venue. Linda's talent and expertise shine through in every petal, showcasing her incredible skill in bringing floral dreams to life. She’s also just one of the sweetest people ever!

Adding a whimsical touch to our styled shoot is the enchanting bubble house by Bubble House LA. Nestled in one corner of the venue, the air currents within the dome gently push the balls, creating a magical dance of color and movement that captivates the imagination.

Can we all raise a glass to the stylish bar setup that added a touch of flair to this shoot?

Crafted with care and attention to detail, our bar menu, featuring an array of delectable drinks, was a true labor of love. The menu was engraved onto Baltic birch wood, adorned with delicate floral accents and elegant script font, adding a touch of sophistication.

The talented team at Stir Up Events Trailer brought their expert setup and delicious libations. From signature cocktails to classic favorites, the bar set ups offer a delightful selection for guests to enjoy throughout the festivities.

Of course, no cocktail would be complete without some garnishment. I love the stir sticks we designed for this event. They helped tie in the floral theme together at the bar and I am so happy with how they turned out.

Guests were treated to a sweet surprise at the favor shelf, where thoughtful tokens awaited to express gratitude for their presence. Fresh jars of golden honey from Hapa Honey Farm accompanied by personalized gift bags, each adorned with personalized engraved tags, courtesy of yours truly.

The pièce de résistance of our celebration was undoubtedly the stunning cake, a true work of art that captured the essence of springtime beauty. Designed by the talented Sweet Deetails, this confectionary masterpiece looked like it belonged amidst a lush floral centerpiece, adorned with an array of realistic edible flowers that mirrored the blooms scattered throughout the party. With meticulous attention to detail and expert craftsmanship, the cake served as a feast for the eyes, showcasing the skillful artistry of Sweet Deetails in capturing the essence of springtime beauty.

And last but certainly not least, a special acknowledgment to Erin J Saldana Photography for capturing every breathtaking moment of our event with such grace and artistry.

Alright, is it even a new year without a quick rewind of the previous one? I get it, it might seem a tad cheesy and like the latest trend. But you know what? A decade down the road, I'll cherish having that snapshot, a little peek into where life was at this very moment.

Looking back on 2023, it was a year of rekindling passions and setting intentions.

In mid 2023 the girls were both in school which allowed me to reclaim dedicated hours for my business. This was a heartfelt return to nurturing my entrepreneurial flame. It filled me in ways I really missed.

For 2024, I aim to fine-tune rather than expand my business, streamlining processes to amplify the quality of my craft. Professionally, it's about harnessing precision and improving product and customer experience.

Last year, I learned something pretty important: taking care of myself matters. So, this year, I'm stepping up that game. It's not just a fancy treat; it's what keeps me going strong in every part of life. Making time for myself isn't just about being there; it's about rocking it in every part of life.

Here's to a year dedicated to nurturing my business, fostering meaningful connections, and prioritizing self-care—a harmonious blend that defines the path I walk. Excited for the journey ahead!
