Christening at St Gerasimos Greek Orthodox Church

January 5, 2017

Little Peia had the most beautiful Christening day! Her parents were so lovely to deal with right from our initial conversation months before the christening, and their happy personalities definitely shine through in these photographs. The service was held at St Gerasimos Greek Orthodox Church in Leichhardt.

The reception was an instagram dream - tulle covered balloons, vibrant flowers, geometric hanging decor and a huge 'Peia' sign dangling from the ceiling. Centennial Homestead did a fantastic job hosting and the food was beautiful; it's such a lovely, relaxing venue with gorgeous view of the park. A lovely day for Peia!

Baptism at Greek Orthodox Church, Burwood

October 14, 2015

Konstantinos was baptised at the beautiful Greek Orthodox Church in Burwood. The sandstone building and immaculately decorated walls makes the church a special place to behold. Little Konstantinos certainly enjoyed his time there - smiling his way through the service and his dip into the baptismal font. Family and guests were then treated to the exceptional food and views at Sergeants Mess in Mosman. Konstantinos' godfather took a little less time than most to take in those views - giving a quick speech before heading off to his wife in labor (all the best for the new arrival!)

Thanks for having me at the celebration of Konstantinos' christening!

Joseph: Maronite Christening

March 9, 2015

Joseph smiled happily as he was held up by the priest to celebrate his christening. His family and friends watched on and clapped enthusiastically. Joseph's christening was a celebration. Everyone was invited to participate, not just watch, and the day was full of joy, laughter, and precious family time together.

And how about this reception? So fantastically decorated, with a dessert table to spoil both the small and big kids. The room was full of fun and excitement as everyone celebrated Joseph's big day. We've added more information about the team who styled this lovely event at the bottom of the post.

Joseph was christened at the St. George Maronite church in Pennant Hills, and his reception was held in the church hall. Congratulations to Joseph and his family!
