Iaan’s baptism unfolded as an intimate garden ceremony at dusk, wrapped in warm neutrals and soft candlelight. Hand-tied roses, wheat stems, and rustic barrels framed a lace-draped altar, creating a sacred yet homely mood. A dessert table of petite cakes and meringues sweetened the blessings beautifully.

Personal touches made the day tender. A keepsake box held his tiny outfit and candle, while guests highlighted favorite Bible verses for him to read one day. Gentle chandeliers and hanging bulbs lit the trees as prayers, music, and quiet smiles filled the night.

The aesthetic felt timeless and meaningful: earth tones, handcrafted textures, and thoughtful symbolism over excess. It was a celebration of faith, family, and the promise of a beautiful life ahead for little Iaan.
