This month friends and family gathered at my cousins’ girlfriends baby shower to celebrate their little girl on the way. I helped out by designing the invites as well as most of the event stationery. The dessert table was beautifully laid out by the talented Christine from Coco’s Customs, a friend (and relative of my cousin’s side of the family), that I have had the pleasure of working with before. Everything came out so nice and the mother to be, again, was super excited and thankful. Needless to say, they received everything they will need for the new addition and I wish them tons of amazing years ahead as a family of four. Here are some shots from the day. Enjoy!

This past weekend, my friend Chrissy at Coco’s Customs threw a spectacular event filled with nature goodies, rustic touches, and nautical flair. I had the pleasure of helping her out with a few details and designed some signs and paper goods for the event. The special day was held at the The Southward Ho Country Club in Bayshore NY and celebrated the wedding of Sara and Buddy, a couple who have already tied the knot months earlier, and were now partying it up with all their family and friends. It was a true success to say the least.

Ten23 Designs also helped out and designed the various decals and wood signs. Here are some photos from the event. Hope they bring inspiration your way. Enjoy!

Recently, I teamed up with Christine from Coco’s Customs in Queens, NY and designed some party decor for a girls first birthday party she was coordinating. The theme was shabby chic, so bright florals and pretty textures were the foundation and Christine incorporated lots of lace and pearls to bring it all together. Needless to say, the party was a big hit!

The birthday girl was smiling with glee and everyone loved how it all came together. There was plenty to drink and eat, desserts galore!, and all the guests took home a cute favor box filled with treats. I am happy Avalon had a great first birthday celebration and everyone had a great time. Christine did a great job at setting it all up and showcasing all the pretty little paper products I designed and all the vendors who played a part did awesome as well. Here is a look into the event. Enjoy!
