We had our baby´s christening in the middle of April and I finally have time to share the gorgeous decor and food with you. I love to throw parties with a theme and still have some up my sleeve. A Spring christening has been the perfect ocassion for a white and yellow color theme.

Color Theme

Since our christening was in the middle of April I thought a colorful and flowery Spring theme would be amazing. I choose daisies cause I have had the theme in the back of my mind for a birthday of the girls but it worked out great for our christening as well.

Decor

I had three things to decorate. The food table, the beverage station and the bar tables.

Let´s start with the easiest. We have used these bar tables for several ocassions over many many years. I got napkins to put on like a table cloth and little vases for the flowers.

The beverage station was all about the daisies. I have gotten these cute tulle fabrics with the daisy print and also daisy ballons to go with the theme. 

For the cake table I went all out. Of course it had to be a sequins table cloth and a huge ballon arch. I have done so many of these but I still love it. I had two hues of yellow and white. The vases are left from Helena´s christening and were filled to the brim with gorgeous flower arrangements. My MIL always make the flowers and she has a real talent for it. Looks so pretty every time. The cupcake etagere is one  of the coolest things I have gotten in years.

Flowers

My MIL makes all of our flower arrangements cause she does them so well. I get the flowers at a local store normally a day before. 

Food

Since our christening was at 11 in the morning and we also had lots of sweet food cause of the gorgeous delicious cake and the cupcakes I decided to make a charcuterie board and my MIL made some puff pastry finger food filled with salmon and some filled with bacon.

The cake has been a two-tier fondant covered cake. The top layer was chocolate and nut and the bottom layer has been raspberry and pistacchio. Both have been so delicious I couldn´t decide for a favorite. The cupcake frosting was passion fruit. 

 

Candle

I have gotten all three of our candles on etsy. I always match them the color theme so the girls have little hints to remember their special day. There are hundreds of different ones and always so hard to choose from.

This has been another week that was over in the blink of an eye. To be honest I am sure times flies faster than ever this year and Fall is approaching soon. We had a national holiday on Thursday and made a BBQ for our little family. Other than that our week has been pretty much like every other but stuffed with appointments. We had dancing lessons on Monday and I had Line Dance on Monday and Tuesday. Needed to take the car to the shop on Wednesday to change out the tires and swimming lessons started on Friday. There is no time for boredom left since Summer has started !!

 

MEALS 

MONDAY – Pasta with meatballs – somehow Monday is always our pasta day. I really don´t know why. Maybe because it is quick to make inbetween appointments or it is something everyone likes.

TUESDAY – Asian Take-Out – IYKYK

WEDNESDAY – Snacks for dinner 

THURSDAY – BBQ – We made steaks, corn, sausage and cheese on the grill and I made some stuffed rolls and green asparagus as side dishes in the kitchen

FRIDAY – Turkey salad – After the swimming lessons we took advantage of the restaurant at the swimming pool and had dinner there. Going to do so for the next 9 lessons

SATURDAY – BBQ – Another BBQ this time with our closest friends and their kids. We made nearly the same but my friend brought an Italian noodle salad and a watermelon feta salad as well. We had so many leftovers that we will for sure be eating this until Monday next week 🙂

SUNDAY – Chicken stew at my in-laws house. This is my favorite dish. If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life THIS would be eat. She makes a mean stew with the most tender chicken meat. We eat it with nockerl which are  made from semolina, flour and butter.

 

FASHION

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this week until we had a huge thunderstorm Saturday night and since today it is quite cold. Not even cool, just cold. The weather forecast says it is going to stay like this until the end of next week. 

ACTIVITIES

Swimming lessons for our big girl started on Friday and I must say I wasn´t quite sure how she would do but I think she is going to manage this very well. There are 5 kids per teacher and she has mastered the first lessons great. We are taking all three girls with us cause the others can splish around with my husband and I am going to the lessons with her. I have packed just the must-haves and nothing special but with three kids going swimming the trunk was nearly full.

 

MISC 

I had two coffee dates this week. One on Wednesday with my adorable baby while we waited for our car and one on Friday with both little girls at Dunkin´s. I just love the excitement of my girl picking out a donut. It is always a pink one with sprinkles or marshmallows, but she is still so happy about it every time.

Forever hunting down all the Magnolia trees. Those magnificent trees with their huge blossoms make such a beautiful background for all kinds of pictures. 

The sun and warmth is finally here so I can finally wear dresses from now ´til September. I just love a pretty dress so much. It is also easy to get ready. Just throw on a pretty dress and you are good to go. It immediately elevates your daily look. You do not have to look for two pieces of clothing to go together. Super simple am I right!!

For me a denim jacket makes the perfect companion to every dress. I have never found that it wouldn´t match great. For some dresses you can take the edge off with an oversized denim jacket and add some casual vibes.
