Gerri was reading "Oh, the Places You'll Go" to her young son at bed-time one night,
and realised it would make a beautiful inspired theme for her baby daughter, Lulu's
Christening. We thought a sweet, soft pastel version would suit the occasion very
well, so we focused on a colour palette of baby blush pink, baby sage, violet,
apricot, buttercream, and aqua-sky blue.
Based on the book, we included sky elements, soft fluffy-Dr-Seuss-y elements,
whimsical coloured rosette fans flowing across the sky backdrop and into a spiral,
fluffy tissue pom poms throughout the entertaining area, and theme stationery
inspired by the illustrations in the book.
We love our sky backdrop, created by Li-Ann from Ham&Pea Design&Paperie - it was a
great canvas for the dessert table.
Dr Seuss-esque "Ella" poms made by Samantha from Dunne with Style adorned the
delicious cake, a raspberry buttercream layer cake, made by Jocelyn's Provisions.
Jen from A Little Slice of Heaven made the gorgeous vanilla bean cupcakes with pink
sugar paste pom poms to coordinate with Dunne With Style's "Ella" poms. Jen also
made the vanilla bean balloon sugar cookies, as well as the gorgeous cloud-shaped
coconut ice.
Other sweet treats included peach-flavoured macarons by Cakes by Judy C, bon bons,
and the irresistible lemon delicious and fluffy passionfruit marshmallow made by
Jocelyn's Provisions.
We made the delicious Turkish Delight cheesecake and set it in mini glass jars.
The
jars were adorned with white poms by Dunne With Style. Delicious, and pretty!
Little Birdie Events designed the stationery suite - a more simplified pastel take
on the illustrations in the original Dr Seuss book, "Oh, the Places You'll Go".
- we loved putting it together for Lulu!
