Ohhh, friends! We have a treat for you today!!
If you remember Makena’s flamingo-themed two-year-old birthday party that was featured on Style Me Pretty Living this summer, then you already know what happens when an amazing creative team of Arizona wedding industry professionals gets together to throw one of their own a special event! It might not be a wedding, but the result is just as much of a swoon-worthy explosion of prettiness! And that was CERTAINLY the case for this weekend’s southwest inspired baby shower at The Montelucia!
In the past year, to give our brides and grooms the best possible experience and still leave enough room in our schedule for teaching workshops, speaking at conferences, running coaching sessions, serving as education directors on the WIPA board (and, you know, little inconveniences that slow productivity, like sleeping!) we’ve had to be really disciplined when it comes to photos and stick to only weddings, engagements, and a limited number of anniversaries.
But… when our sweet, sweet friend Rachel (who owns one of our favorite wedding planning and design teams in town, Outstanding Occasions) asked us to be part of her baby shower, we just couldn’t miss it! Her friendship means the world to us, and we are so excited to meet her first baby boy, Asher, in just a few months! Plus, Jordan heard two of the sweetest two words in the English language when strung together in this order: crepe station.
And oh my goodness. It was even more beautiful than we imagines! With one of our favorite local planners and designers (Danielle) collaborating with some of our favorite local vendors, like Petal Pusher on out-of-this world floral design, IdiehDeisgn on one-of-a-kind paper products, and Ruze Cake House on beautiful handmade desserts at one of our favorite iconic Arizona venues (Omni Montelucia), it was, to say the least, breathtaking! We’re so excited to share a few of our favorites with you today!
p.s. Can we talk about how STUNNING Rachel is as a mother-to-be? Goodness. Gracious, girl! You are glowing!
