Tami was planning her son’s baptism at Lake Vouliagmeni, inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and she had a beautiful vision for the celebration: earthy tones, romantic florals, whimsical treehouse-inspired details and warm fairy lights. For the welcome, we created a bespoke moth character inspired by her fairytale world, designed to connect with the decoration and draw the guests into the story.
You can see a short video of the baptism at the end of this blog.
Lake Vouliagmeni was a wonderful choice for this celebration. With its lush greenery, natural surroundings and beautiful lake, the venue already had something of a fairytale atmosphere.
Tami shared visual references to help us understand the character she was imagining. We discussed the colours, the costume, the wings and how this figure could become part of the setting. Gradually, the idea took shape.
The costume featured a flowing taupe dress, delicate moth wings in matching tones and fine gold details. We chose earthy make-up, soft hair styling and a touch of gold shimmer to complete the look, keeping everything connected to the colours and textures of the decoration.
What had started as a series of conversations and visual references was becoming a real character. And the most exciting part was still to come: seeing her inside the setting that had inspired her creation.
On the day of the baptism, our performer took her place beside the illuminated escort-card tree. As guests arrived, she welcomed them and guided them towards the cards hanging around the tree, helping them discover where they would be seated.
The wings, the taupe costume, the fairy lights and the surrounding decoration came together beautifully. Guests approached her, interacted with the character and stopped for photographs. The children were especially curious about her appearance and delicate wings.
The escort-card tree had become a welcome scene of its own, part of Tami’s fairytale.
The atmosphere extended beyond the welcome. A beautiful live violin performance accompanied the celebration beneath the hanging lamps and greenery.
A live sketch artist added another creative element to the welcome experience. One of our favourite moments was seeing our character become the subject of a watercolour illustration, captured in a live sketch, surrounded by the very setting she had been created for.
As the evening continued, the warm lighting, florals, music and artistic details brought the different parts of Tami’s vision together.
Looking back, it’s wonderful to see how much the idea evolved, and seeing the guests interact with her was the moment when all those conversations, references and creative decisions came together. After the celebration, Tami shared these words in her Google review.
“An absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish! They truly understood my vision and helped bring our concept to life beautifully. They had incredible attention to detail and great communication along the way! They played a huge part in making our celebration so special. Highly recommend!”

Sometimes a client comes to us with a clear picture of what they want. Other times, the idea develops through conversations, inspiration and a little creative imagination. Tami’s baptism is one of those projects that reminds us how rewarding it can be to develop a character around someone’s personal vision. At VProject Entertainment, we love exploring creative ideas for weddings, baptisms and private celebrations, designing characters and entertainment experiences that connect with each occasion.
And sometimes, it all begins with a simple idea.
