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:

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!

I hope you’ve received some new boys Christening inspiration! If you’re looking for a Melbourne event stylist for your child’s Christening, first birthday or other celebration – then be sure to contact Style by Luxe for an elegant setup!

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!

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:

Reuben’s Christening: real party feature

Today we are sharing a gorgeous and fresh Christening dessert table setup by Vivien of LETORE for her son! We love the crisp white and green colour scheme and on trend items such as the mesh backdrop and custom sign as well as the unique setup with various settings for the cake, mini desserts and favour boxes

!

Vivien shares more about her inspiration below:

“For Reuben’s Christening we decided to go for something gender neutral and fresh and our graphic designer came up with the concept of using palm leaves with a watermark pattern. A bonus was that it was a bit on trend too!

All vendors were briefed on the theme which allowed the theme, in both colour and style, to be carried through from the invitations to the reception after the Church service. Elle from delleicious.by.elle did a great interpretation of the brief and customised the cake and desserts with elements of the palm leaf design with splashes of green and white throughout individual pieces. The makers for the acrylic elements also pulled out the details from the invitation to create the cake topper and name signage.

Finally, guests were sent home with sweet gifts from LETORE who styled their lolly cubes with green and white peppermint chocolate balls and created a personalised label which matched the invitation.”

We love this unique and fresh look for a Christening and the colour scheme of white and green! Find the links to all the vendors below so you can source similar items for your own child’s Christening or party!:

Swan themed Baptism

I was excited to share my daughters Swan themed Baptism in the first issue of “Celebrating Little Ones” magazine which you can view here

I always knew if this little 4th child of ours was a little girl then a “Swan” theme was what I would pick for her Baptism theme as well as her Nursery theme. It was a lot of fun finding and sourcing various pieces to incorporate into the decorations and of course I used the vendors listed on the LLC children’s party directory!

For our family the Baptism day of our children is quite important and special and so even though our guest list was small I still wanted to create something beautiful to celebrate the occasion.

All the beautiful photos were by Captured by Kirri

This gorgeous invitation from Emma Smith Event Stationery set the scene for the Swan theme and included beautiful gold foil lettering!:

I wanted everything to be very soft and pretty and the backdrop from Dream a little Dream Events along with the feather garlands from Ruby Rabbit Partyware helped incorporate the feather look which was also framed so beautifully with the balloon garland with tassels from Party Splendour

I like keeping my setups uncomplicated as far as the layout of desserts – as you can see the table is quite uncluttered and symmetrical. When you have young kids you want your dessert table setup to be easy because it definitely is not the only thing you will be getting ready on the morning!

The grey marble and pink cake stands I just loved from Petite Events Hire so I really wanted to include them in this setup along with their pretty white console table.

I also carried the softness of the feathers down to the floor with the sheepskin rug and all the decor filling under the table from Ruby Rabbit Partyware:

Personal touches are important for me when planning a dessert table for one of my children and this gorgeous gold mirror sign from Communicake It added that personalised touch and I knew I could also display it and keep it in Leah’s nursery which I have now done. It was also easily blutacked onto the backdrop and nice and light weight!:

Party Splendour managed to incorporate some soft feathers into the balloons:

For the cake by Macaron Delights – I wanted to keep things simple and elegant and topped with a sweet Swan topper from Poppies for Grace:

For the rest of the desserts I aimed to carry on the colour schemes of pinks, whites, and golds and these meringue kisses from Quincy Lane honestly tasted as good as they looked. They are SO easy to devour it is hard not to eat 5…or 10 !

The macarons by Macaron Delights were also oh so delicious!!

The elegant swan cookies from Frosted by Nicci were inspired by the invitations and were just gorgeous and Nicci did a beautiful job matching them to the invitations!! Kids love cookies so I always ensure to have some on my kids dessert tables:

Using a swan mould from Confectionately Yours I created some white chocolate swans to add to the table. I’m no baker at all and these chocolates are not perfect – but it was a bit fun making these and reminded me of my childhood when we use to make chocolates.

I love fairy floss from Fluffy Crunch any day of the week so I loved incorporating this soft dessert on the table! Fairy floss can only be served and displayed just before the guests are ready to eat it – so I did have more in tubs ready to serve as guests ate – which was handy as the fairy floss went FAST!

The Poppes for Grace feather garlands which I sourced from Ruby Rabbit Partyware added such a pretty touch and I now have the pink one displayed in Leah’s room:

The pretty white and gold plates and take home bags were also from Ruby Rabbit Partyware. They were so gorgeous to use for dessert plates and to fill with desserts for guests to take home to enjoy later!
