it's not often that i am rendered speechless, but when i walked into my friend renay's baby shower today, i certainly was. i had been asked to attend and assist with the desserts a few weeks back, but then covid threw a spanner in the works and the shower was cancelled. yet as luck would be on our side, not a single further case was reported during our week of lockdown, so renay's family decided they would make the shower happen. oh and did they make it happen.
an entry hall full of dried and strung citrus, along with huge while helium balloons and lights...
and then exquisite decorations throughout the house
no detail was left untouched, with beautiful florals
greenery and wooden pieces
and crisp whites to set it off
renay herself was a vision, also in white, absolutely glowing. she is so deserving of a beautiful day like today and i felt truly blessed to be a part of it and to be able to capture some memories for her.
i'd been asked to make all the desserts for the party, banoffee pie, carrot cake,
brownies
chocolate chip cookies and lemon pie bars.
plus the drinks, watermelon & mint water and strawberry, cucumber & lemon water
honestly, check out these details, so simple, but effective. glass bottles with greenery, water and a long white candle to complete the look
and the foodwas amazing. renay's mother and sisters had spent hours setting up a grazing style feast for the guests. delicious!
we had a diy pamper section, where guests were able to make themselves a soak/scrub to use at home, led by the lovely dom
and a few games that left guests roaring with laughter
before renay settled in underneath her little arbor to open her gifts. baby honda is definitely very loved already!
the rouse girls
and one with their mum. truly a wonderful family. so lucky to know them. ❤
and this girl? she is going to be the best mum.
she's amazing.
and for once i actually appeared in a photo. ❤
today was a good day!
