When everything comes together perfectly to celebrate our little one arriving in less than 2 months! 😅 Oh how time has flown 🌞☁️ Ideal weather, thrifted and handmade decor, gorgeous blooms, delicious food, surrounded by close to 50 of our friends and family. I keep replaying the most beautiful day back in my mind, flipping through the photos. 📷
@bchampla thank you for capturing this candid!
Pizzas by
@thepizzaprof! Couldn’t rave about Matt’s delicious pizza, hospitality and setup more.
Personal fave flavors (currently not eating red sauce cause it flares up my heartburn 😭) : Sausage, Ricotta & Hot Honey (White Pie) + BBQ Chicken
The most beautiful cake from
@pistachiofocacceria 🥹 I lost count of how many people asked about where we got the cake.
The handsomest bartender!
@walteregonajourney made cocktails and poured wines from his work • D’Aquino Imports! Look at the cutest handwritten labels. Spritz! Bellini!
Grandma-to-be was such a good host, she almost forgot to try the pizza! Don’t worry, we reminded her 😜
A snapshot of some of the lovely humans who surrounded us with love 💗🥹
Grabbed a beautiful assortment of flowers from
@traderjoes and made the arrangements for the tables. 🌻
I am proud to say all of the decor was thrifted or handmade! I wanted a nice balance of California and Italian vibes!
The vessels for the flowers were thrifted, from our collection at home, or from Italy — brought back empty
@crodinoitalia bottles,
@ilanawintour found this beautiful tin.
I made a fabric scrap garland from scraps I’d been saving from sewing projects. Good thing I love blue 💙 And Ilana made the sweetest “ciao, bambino” banner 🥹 wish I’d gotten a better photo of them hanging!
When I told
@ameliaweinstock I didn’t really want any activities, she suggested a calendar where people can guess the date baby arrives & to have our guests create an ABC book for him, illustrating each letter. I’m so excited to put it together 💗
Another suggestion from @ameliaweinstock, request books with a note inside instead of cards. Her sweet mama bought us this Montessori bookshelf from
@ecr4kids off of our
@zolababy registry and it became the perfect spot for guests
