Iskra Lawrence is an illustrious lifestyle influencer (with over 5,500,000 people who follow her on Instagram to see a peak into her life, likes, and dislikes) and an entrepreneur who owns popular bodycare brand Saltair. As of September, when she welcomed daughter Prima with partner Philip Payne, she’s also a mama of two. The couple also share four-year-old son Alpha. Iskra invited Austin Lifestyle inside her baby sprinkle at Lodgewell’s Falling Leaves house just prior to Prima’s arrival and it was a picture perfect party, brought to life with Iskra’s impressive group of girlfriends and several amazing Austin-based vendors.

“Austin has become my home even though I’m from across the pond because I’ve found the most incredible village of women here who uplift me, inspire me and let me know I’m not alone. This party was so special because it allowed me to get together and celebrate womanhood before I welcome my daughter into the world and I’m honored she has so many incredible role models all around her.“

Iskra is hands-on in everything she does and worked with Sara Roessler of Elaine Events on every detail to create a fun, sweet, intentional and unforgettable soiree where guests saw their favorite photos hand-drawn in real-time by  Avery Miller of A Curtis Creations, indulged in make-your-own cakes at a CakeTini Bar, wrote heartfelt messages at a note-writing station from Bao Bei Body, enjoyed on an English tea party of tiny sandwiches and pastries from Michelle Patisseri, made their own floral bouquets courtesy of Verbena Florist Design, took photos beneath a balloon arch from Pop and Drop and filled pink Dagne Dover reusable grocery bags with treats to take home including products from clean fragrance brand Phlur, hair accessories from TELETIES and of course, goodies from Saltair.
