AceShowbiz - On Saturday, June 8th, Sofia Richie, 25, celebrated the arrival of her first child, Eloise Samantha Grainge, with a lavish backyard party at her $26.9 million Los Angeles mansion. The new mother, who shares Eloise with her husband Elliot Grainge, took to Instagram to share a series of behind-the-scenes photos and details from the sunny and festive event, which perfectly blended luxury with intimate, heartwarming touches.
The celebration was elaborately decorated, featuring large outdoor seating with pink and orange flower bouquets, colorful peonies, and fresh lemons. The long dining table dressed in a white tablecloth with a green leaf pattern, linen napkins and gold utensils was surrounded by sun umbrellas in yellow-striped and black-and-white designs, offering a whimsical yet chic backdrop.
Guests indulged in a curated menu served family-style, which included delights like "A Garden of Baby Gems" salad, cacio e pepe, and honey caramelized carrots. For those with a sweet tooth, a grand display of confections included a chef-manned crepe station with both sweet and savory options, such as strawberries and Nutella to chicken pesto and Philly cheesesteak.
A bar offered themed drinks with playful names like "Mama's Juice," "Papa's Little Girl," "Pump & Dump" and a non-alcoholic option named after baby Eloise. The party also featured a letter-writing station where friends and family penned heartfelt messages for Eloise to read when she turns 18, adding a sentimental touch to the celebration.
Photos of the day captured Richie cradling Eloise, calling her "my whole world," while exquisite details like Dior plates adorned with gold details and a monogrammed luxury designer stroller were shared on social media, showcasing the afternoon's sophistication. Guests also partook in interactive elements such as a pearl bracelet game and creating custom memories for baby Eloise through stickers and crafts.
Richie, daughter of famed musician Lionel Richie and fashion designer Diane Alexander, welcomed her daughter on May 20th. Eloise's middle name honors Grainge's late mother, Samantha Berg, who tragically passed away following childbirth complications. The couple, who wed in April 2023, have been "on cloud nine" since their daughter's birth.
