Baby Showers

What a Lovely Thing a Rose Is!

That quote from famous writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle perfectly summed up my latest event and the décor inspiration. It was a baby shower this weekend, and it centered on roses and fantastic floras in honor of the baby girl’s name Rose Elizabeth.

For this special occasion, I wanted to create a romanticized, feminine theme that incorporated the baby’s name and naturally made for a picturesque backdrop. The floral focus involved crafting exquisite over-sized roses in a color scheme of gold, fuchsia and almost a bubblegum shade of pink. Those colors worked well together for a soft and sweet ambiance all around.

In addition to the decoration and set up for this event, I handled the menu. Being an early afternoon affair, guests enjoyed a lighter food selection of tea sandwiches, veggies, fruit, macaroons, and of course, the festive cake. We also had a “Make your own Mimosa Bar” set up with berries and bubbly for another level of sophisticated fun all the ladies appreciated.

I wanted to make sure the momma-to-be of this shower reveled in the flowers and roses of the décor surrounding her while she looks forward to meeting her own Rose in the coming months. Again to quote Doyle, “Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers.” I have to agree with that statement!

Kentucky Derby Party

I chose a black and white color theme, accented with pops of colors. Since Mint Juleps are a traditional beverage during the event, we made that a focal point of the décor. The little details, like horseshoe stirrers, added the perfect touch to the celebration.

And they’re off!

Circus Baby Shower

This was such a fun shower!  The guest of honor wanted an elephant themed shower to match her nursery. I used minimal decor with neutral colors such as gray and white. I incorporated pinwheels and streamers for an understated circus theme. The couple were both aggies fans, so maroon accents were the perfect touch!

Cheers!

Brunch Shower in Pastels

This was a very special baby shower for me to plan because the couple of honor was fostering to adopt. Since I didn’t know the gender(s) of the children who would be placed with them, I went with a modern, gender-neutral color scheme of mint and peach. The yarn accent to the vases of the floral arrangements added the perfect finishing touch to the food table and a lot of visual interest.

Cheers!
