Event Planning: This Baby Shower Is Modern and Sophisticated

We assume you’re all familiar with Max and Margaux Wanger? The beautiful duo behind Max & Friends? Yes, well, they’re having a baby boy in a few weeks (who will also undoubtably be gorgeous), and lucky for all of us, the ladies of Bash, Please threw them a sweet little shower to celebrate. It’s simple and perfect and really all that anyone needs to properly shower a mama-to-be with love. And pressies.

Nothing that screams BOY, but it’s seems like the little mister would feel right at home here.

Cute cake from Charm City Cakes West, no?

Love this idea for a baby shower game! And hey, if any of you have ideas, feel free to share in the comments. Bet M+M would appreciate it. And dreaming up baby names is such a fun way to pass the time.

    Design Video: Lulu deKwiatkowski on Living the Designer's Life


     
    We always want each student we teach in our Complete Course in Interior Design to learn the basic elements that comprise great design and then add liberal dashes of your personal style and creativity to select a path that feels "so right" for you.
     

     
    We found this video featuring textile, wallpaper, and product designer Lulu deKwiatkowski, and she examplifies how we'd like our students to morph into their own creations, find their own style paths, and celebrate the design heritage they grew up with.
     

     
    What inspires you? Where do your best ideas come from? Where is your passion for design? Ask yourself these questions while you're mastering the basics of interior design, and you'll be on a solid path for personal and professional growth. Please visit Lulu's Lulu DK website to see her inspiring creations, and click on any of the photos for more information.
