Nautical blue meets green:: Karsten Kiel's Baptism

A dash of green to blues and whites made Kiel's nautical party notches lovelier. Clean with just the right dose of playful don't you think? I'm loving the anchors, steers, buoys, those wooden things beside KIEL's name which don't know what you call them. And those starfishes, shells, and corals inside our metal lanterns complemented by fresh hydrangeas and roses... Sigh!

 

Welcome to the Christian world dear darling Kiel. So the adventure begins.

Nautical meets the Hamptons:: Simon Gavin's baptism

I have been cautioned not to post too much for the risk of being too exposed. After so much thought, I disagree. And I hope it is not going to end up in regret. We started everything at first for the little one and when we expanded doing other things, it was to please ourselves. I always tell the mister and the staff, if we get to please ourselves with what we do, then it will follow that we please others. And it has to be providential that the heavens has blessed us with this gifts so we can make others happy as well. And every time we do a project, I couldn't help but still be in awe and super thankful that the handful of projects we have are so far, unique from each other and bears our signature - that is an extension of ourselves.

 

Forgive me for being overly sentimental on this post. It's just that I have been reminded one too many. And before I indulge sulking, I have to draw strength from the fact, that it is always a blessing to inspire others.

 

When Tin Alcid-Apostol asked us to style her son's baptismal party, she sent pegs our way. Truly lovely ones, but we certainly cannot replicate them like a photocopying machine. Hah! That would be a giveaway and I feel that we would have shortchanged her by not at least trying to come up with something novel for little Simon Gavin. She wanted to veer from the usual nautical reds and blues so she went blues and yellows instead. So we did that! Loving her sister in law's description of what we did that it was very Hamptons! I like that! A lot! And that reminder changes my mood totally. So how about, push lang ng push ng loveliness? Of course!

Nautical :: Xander's 1st

This is Xander's 1st and ours as well. Our first time to do a nautical party. Though its been done a lot of times, I think the team was able to pull off another version of a nautical party. I particularly like the chevron backdrop we used today. I didn't want waves so chevron is it.


We made a cutesy red, blue and white cake and cupcakes for the little one. Ms. Julse of Printnook did their cutesy invites.

















Whenever we work on parties, we try not to do a repeat of our past parties, more so it be a replica or quite too similar to someone else's. Ace and I really sit down and make sure the pieces we combine in a party is coherent. So I'm quite pleased when folks come up to me and tell me about a party they've been to and they know instantly that we did it. How swell!

So today's party is done... Have to finish some cakes, then off to another party I am looking forward to... that I hope you do too.

Happy birthday Xander!
