A couple I am very close to made plans to host their baby shower in Texas to bring together as many family and friends as possible. They desperately needed a visionary and some guidance in planning the shower, I happily stepped up to the plate and volunteered to help.
The mother-to-be has always dreamed of going to France, but has yet to set foot. Once we discussed theme and went over some dislikes, I decided this could be the perfect opportunity to bring a little slice of France to her in the meantime. Seeing as they are having a boy, it was the perfect opportunity to bring in the beautiful blue patterned plates that can be found there, here, and everywhere.
Their requests were extremely simple: no green, teddy bears, balloons, and it was assumed as small of a budget as possible - I got to work on the design immediately. I instantly knew based on who they are and with baby on the way I wanted the design to be useful; products they would like and be able to reuse at a later date. I needed every detail possible to be disposable to eliminate extra work for clean up. I wouldn’t recommend doing so for typical designs, but I catered toward their specific needs in this phase of life and personalities, we sourced just about everything from Amazon to make the process as simple as possible.
I went in blind which was incredibly nerve bending for an extremely detail-oriented perfectionist, not physically seeing any of the items we purchased until I arrived in Texas just two days before the event and over a holiday. I’ll nod to my research, dedication, and professionalism because everything turned out beautiful! For florals I used white Lilies on the tables and a combination of Lilies and Peonies on the Appetizer & Gift Tables.
The beautiful results below, designed from half way across the US.
The couple also requested an Instagramable area for everyone to take photos so we used some life sized baby blocks, based filled with greenery, used pattern printed Chinese lanterns inside the blocks and hung above, adding some twinkle lights for an extra accent once the sun went down - the result was darling.
