This stunner of a baby shower took place at the beginning of the summer last year, just about this time. Camilla was due with a baby boy and since her wedding was a small affair her sister and mom wanted to go big for her baby shower. Ari, her sister, is a talented photographer who we have worked with and admired. She was even at my own wedding 13 years ago as a second shooter!!
For the shower they wanted an Amalfi inspired theme with blues, yellows, and greenery. An Italian menu was a must and boy did it look amazing! Speaking of amazing, the shower was held in the most beautiful location, Camilla and Ari’s parent’s home. Sitting on the water in Newport this Tuscan style home really was the perfect backdrop to all the pretty. So sit back, grab an Aperol spritz or limoncello and get ready for this beautiful shower!

Before guests entered this beautiful home they were greeted by a sweet sign and balloon moment. The scene is set for an Italian affair by the sign Chelcea Creative designed. Adding in The Pop Shop’s balloons was a fun little extra detail!
First thing’s first, how about that view? With a panoramic view of the bay and ocean this is quite the spot! To enjoy said view we set a few high tops and a lounge for guests. Thanks to Sweet Salvage Rentals and Signature Party Rentals we mixed in wooden furniture with blue details. I wouldn’t mind enjoying a cocktail or two in this spot!
Second are our stunning tables! Second to none if you ask me… These are absolutely gorgeous!! Using that beautiful Amalfi blue in the tablecloths and mixing it with yellow florals is perfect. Of course Not Just in Novels created the breathtaking floral arrangements. In addition she added lemons for that Mediterranean touch.
Next the table was set with Signature Party’s chic tabletop and linens. The glassware mixed with the lemon colored napkins and simple china looked lovely together. Finally we added a menu designed by Chelcea Creative as a nice detail.
Truly such a stunning arrangement!!
Furthermore is this amazing backdrop by Goldie Crew Creative. It’s elegant and chic with beautiful texture, a gorgeous print, and stunning florals. Without a doubt this is the perfect photo op spot which the mama to be took advantage of. Isn’t she a stunner?!
Of course her beautiful Mama had to jump in as well!
Finally all three ladies, Mom and sisters, jumped in for one!
Along with all of the beauty you’ve seen, we had a few more tricks up our sleeves… It’s the little details, always! This little set up for words of wisdom was oh so cute. Custom cards from Chelcea Creative as per usual.
Additionally Chelcea designed our adorable bar menu, stir sticks and cocktail napkins! Cin Cin as they say!
Ari added these to the pool and we are obsessed!!!
Moreover, the menu was INSANE!!! Brandon Hall, chef and owner of Thyme Well Spent Catering created this scene. A create your own pasta bar of our dreams!! Not only a delicious set up but a beautiful one as well. My tummy is growling looking at this!
Finally, it’s party time!!! These guests came dressed to impress and ready to celebrate Camilla and her baby boy!
Definitely loving all of the aerial views Carolyn captured!!
Indeed it doesn’t get much lovelier!
Without question these two ladies have the right idea! Cheers!
Last but not least, dessert! We’d never let a party go by without it! A selection of bite sized Italian treats from Thyme Well Spent were laid out on display for guests to grab. Looks yummy!
To conclude are sweet photos of these sweet sisters. Truly there’s nothing better than sharing life’s moments with your loved ones and it makes us so happy to see them with these smiles!
Congrats Camilla!!! Thank you for having us on your special day!
