Zebra print along with varying shades of hot pink, lime, black & mango gave this baby girl shower for my daughter and 40 people the WOW factor. The theme was carried through out the house, food and even wardrobe of the event.
Design Inspiration
Zebra print and bright contemperary colors. Wanted something totally fun and away from the pastel baby-baby shower theme.

Over the top on a budget.

Favorite Items
3 Brother's Bakery did an awesome job on the cake. I had seen a similiar one done in blacks, blue and purple with crystal drops extending from the layers. Had the bakery change the colors to match our theme and then made my own cake drops using wire and crystal pink pacifiers which the bakery added to the cake for me.
Another favorite was the "Wishing Tree" I made from branches I snipped off a saucer magnolia tree that my grandmother planted at my home before she passed away. It made me feel like she was there with us sharing in the celebration. Handmade wish cards were made for the guests to inscribe their hopes, dreams and wishes for the new family and then attached to the tree with baby clothes pins which had been glittered.
Advice
This was a HUGE undertaking! It would never have turned out so gorgeous without the help and support of my family.

Thank you!!! It was definitely a whole lot of fun to put together.
Some of the paper lanterns are from lunarbazaar.com. They have a huge selection of every color imaginable. Hobby Lobby has a small selection of pinks, greens, yellows, orange and blue. The large zebra print was found on Ebay and shipped from China. That was the only large zebra print I could find anywhere.....and I searched!! LOL
