A chic baby shower requires a few things – fabulous flowers, stylized invitations, and a bold yet neutral element to really make an impact. French macarons never hurt either. Camille Simmons, the crafter and photographer extraordinaire behind this event, opted for all of the above with bold stripes and soft florals. All in all, it makes for a major wow moment.

As we get older, it seems that birthdays often lose their magic.

Thanks in large part to the gorgeous, intimate, smile inducing celebration that Yoleine of Yellow Bird Events...
