Sneak Peek

I have the honor of throwing a baby shower for my sweet friend Melanie on Staurday. I thought it would be fun to post a sneak peek of a few things I have created. She loves birds so I had a great theme to run with.

For the invites I wanted to use damask somewhere in the design (I just love damask and so does she!) and since she is having a little boy the robin egg blue and brown colors were my top pick.

To create an atomsphere that would be inviting for conversation a sit down brunch is on the agenda. For each guest's place marker I really wanted to create something that was elegant with a little glitz (that's how I would describe Melanie!) Going along with her love of birds I thought mini birdhouses would do the trick.


And, along with a sit down brunch comes the fun of a special place setting. Napkin ring (or wraps) are a great place to add some detail. I went with a chocolate brown silk ribbon and one simple white feather to bring in the theme.



Lots more details and photos of the
shower coming soon ... stay tuned!

  2. Jessica! I loved everything about the shower today--thank you so much for thinking of everything down to the last glittery detail! (Even Jack kept commenting on how nice that blue-green glitter was when I brought the bird house home!) I felt wonderfully loved & waaaaaay too spoiled...a girl could get used to that! Thank you so much for all that you did to make my baby shower so special. Your friendship means so much to me & I am forever grateful that the Lord has allowed our paths to cross! Thank you again dear friend!
