Bonjour babe! Today it’s all about YOU. Yup, Y O U. Manda of Mae&Co Creative designed this modern + fabulous fête to celebrate all the ladies out there. How so, you ask? Well first, the event was all about supporting + loving one another. She shares: The creative community is a gorgeous thing when used and appreciated correctly, but so often we become more competitive and competitive than supportive and encouraging. I wanted to create a space for babes to love and support other babes, without limits.
Manda wanted to avoid the typical “girly-girl” theme, and go a more sophisticated route, with modern feminine details. To do this, she crafted a soft palette of neutrals and blush, with raw linen table cloths, and a mix of chocolate brown velvet runners. With a “highlighter bar” and a “braid bar” available — each + every lady could be pampered, while mingling and getting to know one another.
Doesn’t this sound like a blast? Let’s snag a seat over + check out all the photos snapped by Karra Leigh Photo!
All the ladies were invited to dress up as casual or glam as they wanted.
Manda shares: As a working women in the industry, we often work from home in our pajamas, have meetings in business-ware, or work projects in pant suits. I wanted a chance for us to dress up however we so desired. I wanted them to feel PRETTY and loved, and just know how incredible they all are.
The Mimosa Bar
Brunch with babes is a certainly a good reason to have Blockhouse’s mimosa bar!
The Tasty Bites
Blockhouse served as the adorable location, which Goodseed Floral then decked out with a gorgeous greenery installation.
Can you say, “YUM?!” Chefstable Catering provided all the tasty bites.
How darling are these rosy paper goods from Seek Paper Co.?

The Details
They planned a “babe-enger hunt” for everyone to get to know each other, mingle and then win prizes at the end!
