A Vintage Couple Shower

Together with the Maid-of-Honor and her hubby, Janice Lopez (of EIP), Alan  Mercado, and the venue sponsors,  we planned and organized a surprise party for the soon-to-be-newlyweds, Gelo and Grace.

The concept is "A Walk in the Park" with a classic vintage feel. The party colors were golden yellow and orange.

I am happy to share the party details.

Chocolate lollipops by Louella Jamolod

Table decors and labels

I downloaded free vintage round borders from Just Something I Made and edited the design using MS word. I used empty glass bottles as flower vases and accented with a ribbon. Tealight candles were sponsored by Chic Ypanto ^-^ Bait talaga

Photobooth decor 

This was Chic Ypanto's idea, from "Everything In Place", she used a regular ladder that we accented with tealight candles and ribbons.

Messages for the couples

I printed out blank round labels for the messages which were strung in a ribbon. These were then passed on the attendees to fill-up and then hanged on the ladder.

I will be posting more pics soon.

My first official client

Made a dozen red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for my first client Ms. Cha Ngo. Thank you and enjoy!
