As soon as my good friend Min found out she was expecting a little girl, I started planning, with my friends
Christine (who volunteered her lovely house), Kaley and Sara, to give her a pretty and girly baby shower. We wanted it to be special and intimate and I believe that is just what it ended up being!
 |
Diaper wreath: I got this idea from Pinterest.com. I simply
tied diapers to a wire hanger with ribbon. Super easy and cute. |
 |
My mom got this metal stork for my baby shower and has been
used a few times since. What a great find, Mom! |
 |
We got this little story book for Min and had everyone in
attendance add a little wish or message for the new baby. |
 |
| It took 6 bunches of carnations to create this gorgeous arrangement! Carnations have a bad rap, but used in large amounts they have tremendous impact. |
 |
I created this baby's breath ball that hung from the center of
30 yards of tented tulle (another idea from pinterest.com). At the last minute I decided that it needed to have some ribbon
trailing down, and then I attached these cute little clothes
cut-outs with clothes pins that Christine had. |
 |
| Christine created this adorable bunting banner. |
 |
| Candy is a great decoration! |
 |
| Another darling detail that Christine added: doily backing with little bows and a poem on water bottles. |
 |
| Yummy and beautiful cupcakes by Christine |
 |
The food was delicious and one of the best things about the afternoon!
Thanks again Christine. |
 |
| Min's friend Sara brought the cake made by a wonderful local bakery, Nadia Cakes. |
 |
| Min, my beautiful friend and mommy to be, and me. |
 |
| I couldn't resist showing my friend Monica's shoes....cute! |
 |
My friend, Kaley, wanted to have all the ladies do a
flower arrangement to take along with them, instead of
the traditional games. |
 |
| We had the best time just chatting and tucking flowers into our individual and unique tea cups! |
 |
| Everyone has signed the story book! |
 |
| What a fun and lovely afternoon with old and new friends! It was so special to honor Min and welcome her new baby and I was privileged to be apart of it. |
