Tea Time for Baby


Mint Julep Social Events was excited to coordinate yet another co-ed baby shower, this time at the posh London Hotel in West Hollywood. The parents-to-be are expecting a girl, so all shades of pink were accented with black. Guests were greeted with champagne and strawberries and asked to write their advice for the new parents. The ever-popular baby food tasting game was set up and tried by a group of brave guests (Meatloaf? Yes, that was one of them). Baby Bingo (with custom made bingo cards from Lucky Penny Designs) and Baby Trivia were played while guests enjoyed afternoon tea, scones, and sandwiches. The pleasant shower ended with strawberries and cream flavored cake in the baby's honor and Seda France candles as favors. Melinda Dahl of Dahlhouse Productions was there to capture the moment!

They Say It's Your Birthday - Part 2


After an adventurous group scavenger hunt around Santa Barbara, a black tie dinner was held in honor of the birthday girl. A Spanish guitarist greeted guests, decked out in their finest, no less. Letterpress menus by Milkfed Press detailed the multi-course wine pairing experience and touched on our traveler's theme with an old world compass icon. Our theme appeared again on the cake which featured a vintage map motif from Vanilla Bakeshop and in the photo booth we designed using antique props from Found. Exotic florals from Fiore Designs rounded out the aesthetic and made for a beautiful evening! Photography by Caleab Noh.
