Baby Shower at La Valencia Hotel
In an all blue, sparkly silver and angelic theme, Lounge Appeal designs an amazing baby shower in honor of Kristy Griggs, who is expecting her first son in January 2012. It took place at the gorgeous Veranda Terrace at the La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla, CA. The invitations, menus, place cards and all paper goods were designed by Alchemy Fine Events & Invitations
.
We used the 8ft. long by 4ft. wide King’s dining tables from the Royal Collection. They are white, high-gloss lacquer and fabulous when put together to create a long, dramatic table for a large number of guests. This shower was attended by 30 of Kristy’s favorite ladies, all instructed to wear a shade of blue in honor of the baby boy, Forrest Clinton Griggs V (Jack). We then paired them with crystal clear chivari chairs for the guests, and capped the head of the table with the Couple’s Throne. for the Mom-to-be.
FloralWorks, the floral and event design division of Raphael’s created the 32 foot long center floral arrangement, made from fresh hydrangeas, in a white to deep blue graduation on top of a long, shiny silver table runner to give the tablescape a very posh, ombré look and fit within the white and blue angelic theme.
The signature drink was the “Baby Blue Bubbly”, served from the white tufted patio bar. The corner lounge was cobalt blue suede, with mirrored table accents from the Royal Collection. Sparkly photo frames and glitter on the cupcakes from CupCake Love gave that special touch!
Each place setting was adorned with specialty chocolate favors, with silver sparkle angels by SoBelle Chocolate Favors. Guests took them home as a special treat. The day was a gorgeous 75′F outside, and the veranda setting with the ocean in the background made guests feel like they were lunching together somewhere on the Italian Almafi coast. Towards the end of the shower, after presents were opened and enough champagne and cupcakes were consumed, little white and yellow butterflies fluttered above the floral centerpiece. It was one gorgeous day, and an honor to celebrate baby Jack!
