So many of you joined us for our second annual Flourish event and got a golden ticket to a beautiful day at The Noble, where there were lots of refreshments, photo ops, resources for parents, pampering, and more!
If you didn’t get the chance to join us, you’ll want to next year! We’ll countdown to the reasons why below:
10. SWAG & GIVEAWAYS. We had a ton of swag! Each ticketholder received a bag filled with all kinds of coveted items for mom. There were some amazing giveaway items, too! Three lucky moms received an organizational basket from Acorn & Oak, a candle basket from Christopher Kelly Candles, and 10 handcrafted bibs from Sweets for Reese.
9. PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY. Bumps, babies, and beautiful headshots! It was so great to see our moms in the spotlight. We offered a photo shoot add-on, and everyone was beautifully captured by Kelly Laramore Photography.
8. AMAZING SPONSORS. Flourish would not be possible without our amazing sponsors. Title Sponsor, Mercy, truly helped make Flourish a success. Legacy Physical Therapy, Siteman Cancer Center, Bankhead and Firth Orthodontics, STL Fertility and Abeille Feeding Clinic all hosted tables to share their expertise and had lots of informational items for attendees to take home. Thank you, Sponsors!
7. THE BEST VENDORS! Flourish also had not one, not two, but three rooms full of vendors ranging from beauty and wellness to clothing and accessories. It really takes the right combination of personalities and businesses to make an event like Flourish thrive! Every vendor on site that day was welcoming, supportive, and happy to share their day with you!
6. CURATED FEEDING CORNER. Did you spot the curated feeding corner hosted by Abeille Feeding Clinic? We had a lovely private area outfitted with comfy chairs and a changing station for a quieter space for feeding and taking a break with your babes.
AND GRATITUDE STATION. STL Fertility provided custom gratitude cards for moms to share inspiring words to moms starting their journey to motherhood.
5. THE AMBIANCE. Every mom in attendance was enamored with the unique art deco style of the venue. Formally a bank, The Noble features an original vault and architectural details that will leave you speechless. The staff at The Noble were so gracious, helpful, and welcoming.
Speaking of the vault, we had the pleasure of working with Bella Noir Event Design who added a beautiful floral accent to really make it pop!
And the stunning, fresh floral arrangements by Hare&Bear Co were the perfect centerpieces and complimented the theme so well.
We loved our balloon backdrop made by AWS Balloons! The photo area just wouldn’t have been the same without the gorgeous display surrounding the vintage elevator doors!
Designs by P provided unique, custom pieces to make our vision come to life. From custom napkins, signage, and a hand-painted champagne bottle.
And Elysia King captured the essence of Flourish on canvas right in the center of the space.
4. DELICIOUS REFRESHMENTS. Refreshments from local STL businesses made up our dessert table and were enjoyed by everyone! Lots of happy tummies make for happy mummies! Thank you Hendel’s, The Tipsy Goat, Simply Sweet Sensations and Berrybox!
Our VIP moms also received wonderfully crafted charcuterie cups courtesy of Sara’s Boxes and Boards.
3. THE ACTIVITIES. Fete Booth, Connecting the Dots, With Love by Z and Disco! brought the fun and provided moms with some awesome experiences! Who can resist a fun photobooth? The setup with the floral backdrop was a dream. Moms who stopped by Connecting the Dots craft station got to partake in some art therapy and take home a handmade printmaking project! And With Love by Z hand-drew portraits of moms as a lovely keepsake.
2. PAMPERING STATIONS. Thank you, Inked Beauty Bar, M.I. Look, Urban Spa Mobile, and Studio D Luxe, for pampering our attendees! You helped them feel beautiful and relaxed! We loved the head and body massages. They paired so well with the hair refresh and makeup applications. There were so many pampering stations for moms to enjoy and we felt them glowing from the inside out.
VIP ticketholders were treated with exclusive pampering by Fizz Facial Bar in the VIP Vault!
- MOTHERHOOD & MAKING CONNECTIONS. The most important reason to attend Flourish next year, and for all the years to come, is the connection you will make to other mothers! St. Louis Mom is all about connecting moms to one another, and Flourish is an event that does exactly that. No matter your stage of motherhood, we support you. And if you attend our events, you will see that other mothers you haven’t even met yet support you, too! Our hearts always feel so full and renewed in our community of motherhood – especially when we get to see those connections being made in real-time.
From St. Louis Mom to everyone who helped make this Flourish a success, we extend our gratitude! Click here to be the first to receive news about our 2025 Flourish Event!
