Emily’s “She’s the Cherry on Top” Baby Shower at City Cellar

Emily’s baby shower was as sweet and joyful as its theme — She’s the Cherry on Top. Hosted at City Cellar in Westbury, the celebration had a relaxed, brunch-time vibe where friends and family mingled, laughed, and celebrated the mom-to-be.

The event design was full of thoughtful cherry-inspired details. Guests were greeted by a playful pink and red balloon backdrop, complete with gingham accents and the shower’s signature phrase in bright red script. It made the perfect photo spot, and Emily and her guests took full advantage, capturing keepsake moments throughout the day.

Tables were set with crisp white linens, silver chargers, and whimsical centerpieces — fluffy pink blooms styled to look like ice cream sundaes, each topped with a cherry. Personalized touches, like cherry-themed menus and sweet mementos from Emily’s life, gave the room warmth and personality.

The brunch menu matched the atmosphere: delicious, unfussy, and perfect for mingling over mimosas and conversation. Guests browsed gift tables filled with carefully chosen books and baby essentials, a visual reminder of how loved this little one already is.

Events like Emily’s are what I love most as a baby shower photographer on Long Island — natural light, genuine connection, and details that reflect the guest of honor’s personality. From candid laughs during toasts to sweet hugs in front of the backdrop, every image tells the story of a morning well spent with the people who matter most.

If you’re planning a baby shower on Long Island and want photographs that capture both the details and the feelings of the day, I’d love to help you make it unforgettable. You can view my baby shower pricing guide here.
