A Simply, Lovely Baby Shower

BABYSHOWER-010

A Project For: Zoe
Age: 7 months
Location: Northern California
Description: First baby, first grandchild, first niece… this little one was already spoiled in the womb. My amazing sister Evonne knew right away she wanted to plan my baby shower and after months of her dealing with my craziness the day finally arrived. I wanted it to be light, airy and pink! I usually shy away from too much pink but in this case it was just perfect. We took the design inspiration from the invitations, Pinterest & Etsy and threw in some DIY projects, which made it so personal and beautiful!
Design Inspiration: The design inspiration was based around the DwellStudio invites by Tiny Prints. The print is called Gio in the Lemon colors. We wanted it to be clean, modern, girly and lovely.
Decorating Style: Clean, simple, light & airy
Project Details: Photography: Shannon Paras Photography | Event Coordinator: Evonne Laskey | Invitations & Favor Stickers: DwellStudio for Tiny Prints | Flowers: Lucky’s Supermarket in San Ramon | Catering: Raley’s Supermarket in Pleasanton | Table Plushy Animals: Etsy: LittleSidekick | Wooden Blocks for painting: Etsy: Little Sapling Toys | Baby Bingo, Baby Wishes, Body Scrub & Signage: Mommy Shannon (me) | Cake: Noland’s Cakes | Homemade Body Scrub Favors: Julia Paras
Favorite Items: The cake and the custom plushies!
Advice: Keep it simple. Pick one main pattern or print and choose solid pieces to accent. Don't over-accessorize!

You have a wonderful view! Is this your home? Because I envy those windows. I also love the party details, like those flowers! Are those carnations in one of the vases?

Those fruit tarts look so heavenly! Those petite patisseries, too. Yummm.

Oh my god, I so echo your thoughts! Just looking at the photos of those pastries makes me want to gobble them up!

I really like the paint-a-block concept for a baby shower activity. Because I think the “design a onesie is getting to be old.
