We baptized Baby Max on 3/24. I’m not going to preach faith don’t worry. I am, however, going to schmooze over some photos of our Italian dessert table and him in a white tux ala P. Diddy.
I whipped up a chalkboard mural for the occasion. I was nervous to attempt a portrait because if the slightest thing is off, the picture ends up being a total bust. I taped up the photo I wanted to use and got bizzay. It’s a little baby Elvis!
Next, I added a cutesy quote and some religious embellishments. The end result was a little more graffiti than chalkboard lettering. I kept it up anyway.
I jazzed up our sideboard into a beverage station. To see how I made those edible decorations click here.
I turned our Ikea buffet console into a flash of tissue and crepe paper.
All of our Italian aunts brought their baked cookies, pies, cakes, etc. There was another full table but I didn’t snap a shot. You get the idea. We have a lot of aunts 🙂
Max got suited up and his crazy mother threw some hairspray in his mop then had a photo shoot.
At casa FSL, necks are overrated 😉
The ceremony was beautiful. I actually welled up with tears. My son has turned me into a big softie. The baptism was on Palm Sunday, so apparently the church covers the saint statues with purple veils. Here is Max with my husband & I, our parents, and the god parents. This is the same church we got married at (see our wedding pics here).
Mindy, it was a beautiful celebration! I love all the pictures, too!
Aww, looks like it was a great day! Where did you buy your dress – it’s so pretty!
It really was a great day. The dress is from H&M. It also came in black which was verrrry tempting, but I have a sea of black dresses in my closet, so I went with the cream.
Cool, thanks 🙂
Absolutely beautiful! The dessert table layout looks amazing!! Little Max couldn’t get any handsome-er (?!) if he tried!! 😉
Aw thanks April 🙂 Yes, Max was looking quite dapper.
Wow you did an awesome job with that side board!!
