Backyard Boho Baby Shower

January 30, 2023

Back in the summer of 2021, I had the pleasure of throwing and hosting a baby shower for Heather, our very own wedding day assistant (and one of my best friends)! It was the perfect July day to celebrate baby Ashton on the way. Heather’s parents’ backyard provided an idyllic outdoor setting for the event, and we had Miranda Stewart Photography there to capture all of the details and fun.

It also seemed like the perfect time to (finally) share this shower because Heather is expecting, again!! So excited for their sweet fam. We absolutely love baby showers — if you have an upcoming shower to plan, we’d love to hear from you!

Guest favors were bath bombs with a cute tag reading “boys are the BOMB!”

Guests used art supplies to create beautiful birth affirmations for Heather to display around the room while she was in labor. I love this personal and practical idea!

The subtle nautical and watercolor details were a nod to where Heather & Josh got engaged — Heceta Head Lighthouse! Sugar Pie Bakeshop always does such an incredible job with her custom cookie designs.

One of my favorite details were these DIY charcuterie cups filled with yummy nuts, meats, cheese, and crackers.

I love looking back on these photos from this special day… I guess now it’s time to get started planning the next shower! 😉

Hey friend! Thanks for stopping by.

This is the place where you’ll find my past weddings and events, planning tips and advice, ideas and inspiration for your wedding, and a glimpse into my own life here in Eugene, Oregon. I hope you enjoy my little slice of the web. Happy planning!

Return clients aren’t all that common in the wedding industry (for good reason!) but it’s so fun whenever I get to work with a client for another event!

Jinous hired me to help plan her anniversary celebration on the coast back in 2021, and it was such a treat when her sister in law reached out to me to help plan Jinous’ baby shower! 🥰

We absolutely loved being a part of this beautiful shower for such a wonderful family. 🤍

All of the fun details from this special bat mitzvah are on the blog today! The theme was so unique — it was just before Halloween, so we incorporated masquerade details as well as woodland decor/details to suit the honoree, Leila. We had an incredible team of many of my faves and @amandamegphoto captured everything perfectly! Click the link in bio for all of the beautiful photos 💛

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m currently at the salon getting my hair done 💁🏻‍♀️
And later tonight we have our first official gig with @sugarcrusheugene! 🥳
Me and Andrew will celebrate another day lol. ❤️ What about you? Any big plans?

These days I wake up and start working somewhere between 4:30 -5:30 am 5 mornings out of the week. I’ve become a lot more accustomed to it over time but some days I would love to be able to crawl back into bed. 😂🙈

However, it’s really not so bad! I work for 2-3 hours, then we homeschool our kids for a couple hours, have lunch, and then I usually come back and do another hour or two of work in the afternoon. Totally not your normal 8 hour workday but it works for us. 😜

What about you? Are you an early riser or not so much?

There’s something about fresh spun cotton candy that just makes you smile! ☺️

I haven’t done an intro in a hot minute, so if you’re new here, here’s a bit about the gal behind Event Crush 💖

1️⃣ me and my husband both work from home (Andrew runs a bookkeeping business @hartsystemsbookkeeping) and we homeschool our two girls together. I’m so thankful for our flexible lifestyle!
2️⃣ I love gardening and our little backyard flock of chickens 🐓🌸
3️⃣ I haven’t had a sip of soda since March 2022! I spent the majority of my life fighting a soda addiction — literally since 6th grade. So kicking this habit has been huge for me 🙌🏻
4️⃣ I finally launched @sugarcrusheugene at the end of last year after dreaming about it since 2018 👊🏻
5️⃣ at the end of December I started taking regular walks around my neighborhood and it has been so good for my mental and physical health! 👣

I would love to learn something about you, too! What’s your fave beverage? Since giving up soda I have become a huge fan of kombucha!

Thank you @belovedstudiospnw for snapping these photos at a recent styled shoot 💛
