Spring Soiree: Blooms, Bubbly, and Beauty and a New Venue Premiere

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. Through her lens, the beauty and essence of the shoot were immortalized, allowing us to relive the magic time and time again. Erin has such a keen eye for details and her shots are always breathtaking. Plus she’s an amazing human and mama.

We must extend our heartfelt appreciation to all the talented vendors who came together to bring this vision to life at the stunning Anerton Warehouse. From the enchanting floral arrangements to the delectable treats, every detail was meticulously planned and executed, creating a truly gorgeous springtime party.

It's a testament to the power of collaboration and community, as each vendor brought their unique talents and expertise to the table, resulting in a celebration that exceeded all expectations.

Together, we turned dreams into reality, and for that, we are immensely grateful.

Please take time to look at all the wonderful work of these fellow vendors:

Everybody Loves A Ginger

It’s the holiday season so the calendar is filled up with tree decorating, Christmas light gazing, and of course, gingerbread house decorating!

I was so excited when Sally from Pretty Little Events invited me to be apart of this ADORABLE shoot for a gingerbread house decorating party! Everything she does is always just stunning and gorgeous and I knew she was going to slam this one out of the park as well! And boy did she deliver!

Sally did an amazing job of layering all the details to make this whimsical, lush, and cohesive look that just challenges you to find every single little detail. The placement, colors, textures, they are all so deliberate and intentional. All of these details were gorgeously captured by the ever talented Erin J Saldana Photography. She is so amazing at capturing those smaller details while showing how they all pull together as a whole to create a vibe.

LV Floral Events did all the florals that instantly gave me those “Sugar Plum Fairy” vibes. The pinks and purples just tie in the back drop and the table top perfectly. I love how many textures she uses in her florals too, they are so rich and exquisite. The rentals from Sweet Salvage Rentals just hit everything perfectly as well, like a perfect storm. They have some of the cutest vintage rentals for kid parties I’ve ever seen.

Sweet Deetails created this yummy cake. I love clean cakes like this, that can be such a statement piece. This cake just takes it’s place among all the bright decor and takes command of the scene. I love it! It looks absolutely delicious too!

We were so excited to have a part of this shoot and when we heard the theme, I was even more excited. We did stir sticks, gingerbread tags, name tags, a cake topper, and a personalized hanger. I am ridiculously obsessed with this little gingerbread mascot we’ve got now. I’ve already got ideas for him next year. Do we name him?

It’s been proven by research that a hot chocolate with a gingerbread man stir stick actually tastes better. Come at me.

Sally styled some of our products for gifting. I love how they turned out! Its a nice way to kick up your gift without going crazy. She used the stir sticks with a mug, some ornament hot chocolate bombs, these delicious meringues from Little Meringue and Co and a few of our stir sticks for one gift. Such a cute idea! She also used the gingerbread tags as gift tags and our new Blair gift tags with beautiful ribbon on some simple packages.

Of course, no styled shoot involving Delovely Details would be complete without some hangers, right? I did two hangers for Sally, one with her own logo on it and the other personalized for the star of the party. When you have party dresses as pretty as this one, you have to display it properly. They make great favors as well!

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait till I can plan a gingerbread house decorating party at this level. This party just gets you in that magical Christmas mood and I am here for it.

Sally once again, knocks it out of the park and does an amazing job of bringing in a range of vendors and making it all cohesive and tied together in a brilliant way.

And with that, here is a gingerbread joke to leave with:

What did the doctor tell the gingerbread man with a sore knee?

Did you try icing it?

Every single detail of this first birthday is just ::chef’s kiss:: perfect! The florals and balloon garlands keep it elegant yet fun. The sweets and treats look mouthwatering.

We were so grateful to have been able to help celebrate this little beauty with our personalized stir sticks for their guests. It is just a small way to elevate the whole party and customize it for the birthday girl! The exquisite rice cakes from Sweet Florie Cakes are more of a piece of art than a treat! All of the details were gorgeously captured by Erin J Saldana Photography.

We loved getting to work with this amazing group of vendors to help celebrate this pretty little girl and wish her all the best in her life. There are those who say a first birthday is a waste of time, money, and energy…however I see absolutely no waste in celebrating a beautiful soul and getting together to wish them all the best in life.

Isn’t she just precious! The world better be ready for Harper James! Sally did an amazing job styling and planning this beautiful event for such a deserving little girl.

Speaking of first birthdays, we are at the half way mark for Hazel’s first birthday! We’ve played around with some ideas…but still have no clue what direction to go in! Any suggestions?
