Yellow + Gray 1st Holy Communion

May 10, 2016 · 1 Comment

Yellow + Gray 1st Holy CommunionApril is usually a busy month for events, whether it’s bridal and baby showers, and then religious holidays and milestones. Today’s party, was the third styled event in April for The Dreamery, a 1st Holy Communion for a special brother and sister. It can be a challenge to decorate children parties for both genders. It’s about choosing colors that please both a young boy and girl, and forgoing patterns and textures, like glitter or swirls, that may come off too-girly. My client knew she wanted bright yellow tulips to highlight Spring, mixed with neutral hints of gray, and the rest was all up to me. The final look, a sweet and happy yellow 1st communion celebration as bright as the sunshine outdoors…Yellow + Gray 1st Holy CommunionI wanted to keep things whimsical and detailed, yet very simple, like my client. The focal point of this intimate family gathering, was the dessert buffet set up just for the kids. Fun polka dot balloons with tassel garlands drew your eyes immediately to an array of cookies, colored M&M’s and brownie pops. The sweet spread was simply adorned with bright yellow tulip and craspedia arrangements to mimic the centerpieces.

The centerpieces were an interpretation of this whimsical yellow floral arrangement in rustic wooden boxes. I admit, my favorite part were the often overlooked mums, which become beautiful eye catchers in these modern inspired pieces. Yellow + Gray 1st Holy Communion

The kids stuffed their favor bags with candies and sweet treats, while the adults were gifted with bottles of lemon essential oil adorned miniature rosary beads and a custom prayer tag.  Yellow + Gray 1st Holy Communion Yellow + Gray 1st Holy CommunionYellow + Gray 1st Holy CommunionYellow + Gray 1st Holy Communion

Yellow + Gray 1st Holy Communion 1st Holy Communions are often quite basic lunches held at a restaurant, but the kids deserve a little something extra to make their milestone special too. It doesn’t require grand decorations, just a bright color and thoughtful details the kids will love and appreciate, just as much as the adults will. Yellow + Gray 1st Holy CommunionYellow + Gray 1st Holy Communion

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
