Hi everyone!

I am so happy to be back especially after this past weekend of party planning.  My dear friend Trinity is pregnant with her first baby and I had the honor of throwing her a baby shower.  The weather was hot, sunny and a bit humid but the party really turned out great.  I had a 24 lovely women join us for a luncheon featuring delicious food, motherly words of advice and of course lots of adorable baby gifts.

Under the Tent, the gorgeous flowers came from Wollam Gardens by Like Water for Tulips

 

The Invite with adorable lime green stroller

Trinity is such a stylish gal that I wanted her party to be a bit more sleek and modern, just like her.  She is also not finding out the sex of the baby (boy, boy, boy) so I had to choose an ambiguous color palette.  Amy, my Magnolia Lane partner-in-crime, created this amazing invite and our theme of lime, black and white took off.

We tried to add a few adorable details to make this shower more “baby”. First, Amy created cute tags for the lime green Jones Sodas which read BABY Jones, how is that for adorable and creative?  I also pulled my son’s handmade white cradle out of storage and used that as our gift “table”.

Instead of favors, we planted trees to stick with our “green” color scheme

    Did you create this site yourself? Please reply back as I’m attempting to create my very own site and want to know where you got this from or exactly what the theme is named. Many thanks!
