A Nola-Themed Baby Shower Fit for Royalty
Events
By: Shenette Prevo
Teacup Planning & Events | Houston Wedding & Events Planner
Welcome to Teacup Planning & Events' blog! We had the pleasure of planning and coordinating a truly special baby shower for a family with New Orleans roots. Our team worked closely with the grandmother-to-be, who was located in DC, to bring their vision to life. The result was an enchanting celebration that perfectly captured the essence of Nola with a touch of Southern charm. Join us as we take you through the details of this memorable event held at the beautiful Vargos on the Lakes Club House.
Creating a Nola Feel:
Our clients wanted to infuse their baby shower with the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. To achieve this, we incorporated various elements that paid homage to the city's rich culture. The color palette of royal blue, gold, and ivory evoked a sense of regal elegance, reflecting the theme of royalty. Fleur de Lis embellishments adorned personalized handkerchiefs, adding a distinct Nola flair.
Décor Fit for a Prince:
At the heart of the event, we created a stunning backdrop featuring a throne chair accompanied by an oversized bear and a magnificent balloon garland. This picturesque scene served as the focal point, drawing attention and creating a sense of grandeur. The combination of the regal chair and the playful bear symbolized the joyous anticipation of welcoming the little prince.
A Heartwarming Tribute:
The grandmother-to-be prepared a heartfelt slideshow presentation that chronicled her daughter's journey through the years. This touching tribute not only commemorated her daughter's transition into motherhood but also allowed guests to share in the family's precious memories. The slideshow served as a reminder of the love and support surrounding the new addition to the family.
Indulgent Southern Brunch:
To satisfy guests' palates, we curated a mouthwatering Southern brunch menu. Drawing inspiration from New Orleans cuisine, the delectable spread featured classic favorites. Guests enjoyed an array of flavorful dishes, including shrimp and grits, Cajun-style eggs benedict, chicken and waffles, and traditional beignets. The southern brunch menu perfectly captured the essence of Nola's culinary delights.
Client Testimonial:
Kendra McClaine, the sister of the mom-to-be, shared her thoughts on Teacup Planning & Events' services. She said, "TPG planned and coordinated my sister's baby shower. They did everything from the decorations, food, music, and games. It was amazing and worth every dollar spent. Great job TPG!" We were thrilled to receive such positive feedback and are grateful for the opportunity to make Kendra's sister's baby shower a memorable experience.
Mimosa Bar and Pecan Praline Delights:
No brunch celebration is complete without a refreshing drink, and our mimosa bar delivered just that. Guests were treated to an assortment of fruit juices, champagne, and an array of garnishes to create their personalized mimosa concoctions. Additionally, we sourced authentic pecan praline candies from New Orleans, providing guests with a taste of the city's iconic sweet treat.
New Orleans-Style Second Line Dance:
To honor New Orleans' vibrant cultural heritage, we concluded the festivities with a lively second line dance. Guests were provided with colorful handkerchiefs and encouraged to join in the spirited celebration. The infectious rhythm of the music and the joyful procession captured the essence of a New Orleans street parade, leaving everyone with lasting memories of this special occasion.
The Nola-themed baby shower held at Vargos on the Lakes Club House was a truly remarkable event. From the royal blue, gold, and ivory color scheme to the Southern brunch menu and Nola-inspired décor, every detail was thoughtfully curated to create a sense of enchantment and celebration. Teacup Planning & Events was honored to bring this vision to life and to help the family celebrate the impending arrival of their little prince.
