simple baby shower.

this was kind of a last minute baby shower but still turned out how i pictured it.  it was very simple yet bright and everyone had a great time.

tissue paper flower tutorial found here.  not hard at all!

the shower had a really modern feel to it.  i love the circles everywhere.

fresh flowers are like sticks--they make everything look better!  these wax flowers are my favorite.

i'm telling you, for your next party these homemade lollipops are the way to go!

i love miniature anything...

and this popcorn is to die for!  not only is it delish but so colorful as well.

apples and pinecones.

my best friend's little girl turned one and so of course there was a party to celebrate!  my friend and i got together to plan what to do for it and we actually both had the EXACT same idea in mind.  it was hilarious.  this party was one of my favorites and totally fit the little birthday girls' personality.  my friend served delicious soup and rolls for dinner so this party was mostly about decorations.  pink and green look so good together!

the table with the treats:

i made these pennant banners to go around.  they added so much color and were so easy.  tutorial coming soon!

i literally got these sticks from a tree in my yard after my husband trimmed it.  I painted them white, stole these butterflies from my daughter's room and voila!  they created the perfect divider while adding a whimsical feel.

we got the bird house at a thrift store, painted it white, spray painted the pinecones pink, added apples and ribbon and had the perfect centerpiece for the treat table.

a special mini banner for the birthday girl.

tables were set up for the guests to eat their dinner and these were the centerpieces set on top of pink tulle

pretty n pink.

this party was a first birthday party at a beautiful home overlooking the lake.  we had a light yet delicious dinner and some fabulous treats.  i went with a light pink, white and pearls.  so pretty and feminine!  above the table i had the birthday girl's initial and twelve photos-one for each month of her little life so far.

the tablescape:

i made the mini cake for the birthday girl to dig into:

this little table held treats and a little book i made for the guests to write a message to the sweet birthday girl:

soft & pink.

this is the dessert tablescape that we had after my sweet daughter's blessing day.  i love how everything came out so soft and sweet, just like my little miss.
