A Beachside Baby Naming

Beachside baby naming ceremony & bris at Porta in Asbury Park, NJ.

“The Boys Are Back In Town” theme of these arrangements was SO special and apropos in so many ways. A dear friend asked me to do the arrangements for her second son’s bris and naming ceremony in our home town of Asbury Park, NJ (her first is my god son and since his was over zoom during the pandemic, we went a bit ham), so this one hit close to home literally and figuratively. Each table runner/centerpiece was designed to be super unique and a little wild (just like little boys), adding interest table to table- no one piece was alike but the room was cohesive. The color scheme was both a nod to their Lithuanian and Jewish backgrounds, as well as to fond memories and magical moments their parents and I spent in the Mediterranean together over the years across Italy, Spain and France.
