Boy Christening Styling by Style By Luxe

I’ve recently shared some girl Christening supplies and ideas on the blog and now it is time to share a gorgeous boys Baptism by Melbourne stylist Style by Luxe!

There are some favourite boys Christening themes but it is wonderful to create a modern and new take on these themes!

Yiota from Style by Luxe created this modern take on the nautical theme!

Modernising traditional themes is another way to create new styles and concepts.  Their modern take on the nautical theme using a beautiful silver boat as the central attraction for this baptism of twin boys, ended up being such a beautiful display.

The theme was brought through from invite to personalised lollipops and to the final end product which of course was the dessert display.

 

 

 

Vendors:

  • Event styling, set up, design and custom stationery by Style by Luxe
  • Florals and Props by The Event Rental Company
  • Balloons by The Little Balloon Bar
  • Cakes, cupcakes and donuts by LaManna
  • Custom lollipops by Petal and Pop
  • Light up number 1 by Anastasia’s Cake Story
  • Name decal by Katrinah’s Kreations
  • Cake toppers by Glistening Occasions

Its not easy coming up with new themes and styles for every event, however Style by Luxe loves creating custom events to suit everyone’s theme, colour and concept.   At times, minimal items can still make a real impact when designing and styling a space.  Their “Angelo” blue and gold baptism with the cake being the main display is one such example.  With a beautiful floral arrangement, great props and balloons they were able to make a real impact!

Girls Christening Party Supplies

The Christening of your child is a significant event for many families, and a wonderful celebration to bring people together. I remember fondly the Christening day of each of our children…here is a photo from our youngest child’s Christening in 2017. I believe it is a milestone to be celebrated!

 

 

We’ve seen a big trend in recent years for this special occasion to have as much style as a themed birthday party, with one of the most popular trends being a pink and gold colour scheme for girls.

So here’s our finds from our clever LLC Members to help you plan your upcoming Christening for your little girl.

Isaiahs Christening Feature

 

A Christening is such a joy and special occasion to celebrate and we’re delighted to showcase this amazing Christening in blues, gold and  rose gold styled by the team at Sweet Heavenly Events in Sydney – also using their gorgeous range of props!

You can view the full range of credits at the end of this post to find all the amazing vendors involved! For now – enjoy the images!

 

 

I just love the plinths and the design used on them. Plinths and decal wraps are one of the latest trends in styling and you can see what an impact they can have on a setup:

 

A milestone chart such as this is such a gorgeous way to capture important details and upon on this easel from Sweet Heavenly Events is the perfect way to display it:

 

This Christening cake is just spectacular!

 

 

Don’t you just love these rose gold cake stands from Sweet Heavenly Events?

 

 

 

You can never underestimate the impact amazing balloon decor will have to a whole room. The mix of garlands and jumbos creates such a gorgeous effect:

 

 

As you can see – the whole room and setup was styled so elegantly by Sweet Heavenly Events to create an elegant Christening celebration:

 

 

 

The little touches and details of this Christening also help guests to know how much thought has gone into hosting them for this celebration:

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Christening celebration is *amazing*..am I right?

I hope these photos have inspired your own celebration – whether it’s a first birthday or Christening or even an adult celebration! Sweet Heavenly Events in Sydney can create something just as amazing for your own celebration or you can use their gorgeous range of props to style your own event.
