A Whimsical Tea Party

One of my good friends from high school is having her first baby and I was so excited to throw her a baby shower. I got together with Kati, one of her friends, and we and we thought that “A Whimsical Tea Party” would be a great way to celebrate a little girl coming into their family. I had images of decorative books, teacups, hot air balloons and of coarse fresh flowers running through my head. I started collecting teacups and made some DIY hot air balloons, which I love how they turned out! Kati ordered some macaroons from a place in Orem Utah called le petit macarons. These are probably the best macaroons I have ever had and everyone needs to try these! I loved our pink nail polish party favors and I loved the heart that we had all of the guests take pictures in front of. I was so happy with how everything came together.

I will be posting my DIY on the hot air balloons soon. 

I thought I would leave you with a little tip: you can repurpose a lot of the decorations from other parties you have thrown so hold on to all the decorations you are really proud of!

Whimsically Pink Baby Shower

I had the pleasure of throwing a baby shower for Tiersha Whitmore. It was her first baby and they were expecting a girl! The shower was a brunch held at the mom-to-be’s home and the inspiration behind my decorations was whimsically pink. I used burlap with the pink for a vintage texture then fresh roses, striped straws, pink books and mason jars to add a whimsical touch to the party. It was also fun for the guests to get a look at what Tiersha and her husband looked like when they were babies. I had so much fun planning this party and seeing how happy she was when all of her friends and family came to be with her.

I thought I would leave you with a little tip! At this baby shower the sister of the mom-to-be said that we should supply envelops and have the guests write their name and address on them so that thank you notes are super easy for the guest of honor.
