Benicio Christening

THE STORY

When Krystal and Paolo reached out to plan their son's christening, they came with a vision, a color scheme, and a trust that made the entire process a joy. From the moment we heard the direction, we were all in.

The celebration took place at one of our favorite venues, RP Prime, where we set the scene with gorgeous linens, lush florals, and beautiful green glassware that brought the color palette to life. Every detail was chosen with intention, and every magical touch was designed to make the space feel as special as the occasion.

With the event falling close to Halloween, it was important to the family that the holiday felt present without overshadowing the day. Our balloon artist arrived dressed for the occasion, and every child went home with a personalized goodie bucket. A sweet touch that had the little ones completely delighted.

And desserts? With the family owning Palermo's Bakery, there was certainly no shortage. The guests were wowed, the hosts were overjoyed, and we loved every moment of bringing this one to life.

THE VISION

Sage green and white set the tone from the very beginning. Clean, fresh, and quietly elegant, a palette that felt both celebratory and refined without ever trying too hard.

The design layered texture throughout, from the linens to the florals to the carefully chosen accents, creating a space that felt rich and considered at every turn. Green glassware caught the light and tied the color story together beautifully, while thoughtful touches kept the little ones engaged and the adults genuinely impressed.

The goal was a room that stopped you when you walked in but never felt overdone. Aesthetically striking, warmly personal, and perfectly balanced between upscale elegance and the joy of a family celebration.
