Stomp and Roar, Cooper is 4!

An old hall in southern Sydney was the perfect setting for a vintage inspired celebration. Dreamy, moody and lit by the warmth of candles, welcome to Mrs. Banks' baby shower!

You may have seen a Mary Poppins-inspired celebration before, but we wanted to take a different direction to the classic combination of navy, red and umbrellas.

What if Mrs. Banks had a third baby? We imagine she is expecting again, and hosting a gathering to celebrate the impending arrival. What might her baby shower look like? Mrs Banks is a suffragette so we have drawn our colour scheme from the movement's colours: white, green and purple, and taken inspiration from the Edwardian era.

The gorgeously illustrated invites and menus, designed by Elk Prints, were ever so reminiscent of the kites from the story. The menus, emblazoned with the line 'A spoonful of sugar' heralding both the abundance of sweets (including four cakes) on offer, as well as the sweet news of a baby being born!

Other features of the baby shower included long, draping tablecloths, decadent cakes, sweet treats, silver candelabras and beautiful garden flowers.

We hunted high and low for a vint age pram to create a scene where Mrs Banks accepts her balloon and flower laden gift - a beautifully made pram. See more in the magazine. Full credits below.
