{Blue Fish Baby Shower}

Good morning! 

Yesterday I realized how much I need to catch up on my postings!  So today I want to share with you this sweet baby shower theme of a little fish in a sea of blue and white.  For this invitation we used our very popular petal fold envelope and we layered over shimmery card stock.

We prepared three tables: one for the beautiful sugar cookie favors, one for the Wishing Tree and finally one for the cake and desserts.  

Desserts included local traditional desserts such as guava pastries and cheese rolls, along with chocolate covered strawberries, chocolates and almonds for the guests to enjoy.

I created two banners to be hanged from the dessert table and over the gift opening area which was also decorated with tissue pom poms.

Hydrangea centerpieces were adorned with circle lollipop style signs and ribbon.

I think it turned out very delicate and sweet.  

Love,

Hi guys!

Now this party was the most delicate and cute for a baby boy whose arrival was a long time coming.  So the mom-to-be wanted to call this party "It was worth the wait..."  so of course, we had to use this phrase throughout the planning and styling.  To make this shower as boyish as possible we created this clip art from scratch.  The onesie with a tie has been used before but I wanted to make this one myself.

So starting with the invitation, I used bling cards stock in shades of blue, white and gray in an enclosing envelope so that we could incorporate the gift registry cards.

The setting was created by a local decorator who used white curtains to block the sun and create a backdrop for all the cute decorations:  tissue and flower pom poms, lanterns, ribbon...  For the candy bar we used our mom-to-be's bedroom furniture!  It turned out amazing.  We also used a desk and chair to display cake pops and mini cakes and a side table for a baby basket with heirloom baby blankets.  

The banner hanged from the chest of drawers to pull everything together.

Another side table was used for our huge wishing tree.

 

Party favors included hand made personalized soaps and mint tins.  The soaps were packed on silver jewelry boxes and tied with satin ribbon and fabric covered buttons.

  

 

The candy bar included sugar cookies, jumbo marshmallows, kisses, gummy rings all in shades of blue and placed in apothecary jars decorated with satin ribbon and candy labels.

 

Silver favor boxes to fill with candy...

Finally, we created these darling cards and hanged them from the back of guests chairs. They all had different messages that defined the blessing that this baby meant for this family.

Love,

{Tea Party Baby Shower}

Ok, so I know I've said this before, but this time it's true ;)... This is the most beautiful party I've ever done!  All the detailed work along with a gorgeous theme made this baby shower my favorite so far.  It was all planned and coordinated secretly through emails and text messages! Can you believe?  And the best part is that everything came out perfect and our mom-to-be was really suprised.

For the invitation we wanted something delicate so we went with this design.  All I can say is that everyone was in love with it!

Our guests would be greeted by this darling wishing tree so they could make wishes for mom and baby Camille.  Also at the main entrance we hanged a beautiful sign just to give everyone an idea of what they would see inside!

Our main table featured a diaper cake (as a gift for mom and baby), cupcakes and cookies dipped in chocolate.  The banner was made with doilies and ribbon, just to keep up with all the doily detail.

The diaper cake was a total hit!

Cupcakes were baked by a local supplier and cookies in several colored frosting and flowers I made myself.

Since this was a tea party, tea was served along with biscuits, sandwiches and cookies. 

This is the first time I've done floral arrangements for any event, and let me tell you, I'm really proud of how they turned out!  Some tables had flowers and teacups and others had pomander balls (really labor intensive but oh, so worth it!).



Finally as party favors we gave out English Tea cookies, directly from England! 

Now you be de judge... Do you love it as much as I do?

Thanks for reading along!
