Mama-to-be [Michele's Baby Shower] November 8, 2011 1 Comment

From the moment my dearest friend Michele (you remember her cute maternity session!) told me her and her husband Steve were expecting a little one this winter, I immediately started thinking about her baby shower in tandem with our friend Julie. With the help of the evil fabulous Pinterest, I pulled some great ideas together. And with the help of my other dear friend Dee, owner and fabulous planner/floral designer of Elements of Elegance, we planned a shower for Michele to show her just how much we loved her.
Michele is my childhood friend and I wanted her to feel spoiled, pampered and loved. I just adore this girl! When I walked into my studio, where the party was held, Dee had already began setting up. When I looked around at the flowers, hand-made flags, and special touches, they literally brought tears to my eyes! I knew we had some stellar ideas, but Dee truly brought them to life. Those out there planning showers and parties…take the workload off yourself and hire a professional! Worth it! Lucky for me my go-to planner is also a friend ;).
Another little tip…hire a caterer!! All of our food was made and set up by Trish of Tantalizing Tastes. Her food is so creative and delicious. My favorite? The bananas foster french toast! My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
The banner below was handmade by Dee and her sweet neighbor. It reads ‘Baby Sunde’ and is going to be such a great addition to her nursery!



So these cupcakes with the little elephants and giraffes were made by my mom!! I’m surrounded by such talented people. Thanks again Mom! They were a hit ;).










Michele’s cousin Jill has the cutest little one! She was making us all laugh with her cute and silly faces.


Making a rare appearance on my own blog…yours truly! Thank you to our friend Mary for snapping a few pics for me ;).
