Real Baby Shower: Pink Elephants

When Kara Allen of Kara's Party Ideas designs a baby shower, you know its going to be over-the-top fabulousness! And... WOW... she definitely is the expert in putting together a stunning dessert table, an adorable drink station and fun DIY decor. All I need to say is... hand-painted popcorn used for the backdrop... SO CUTE! Lyndsey Fagerlund was also there to capture all the wonderful details -- and there's a ton of details. Enjoy all the pink!


















From Kara... My sister has always loved elephants...so when it came to choosing a theme for her shower I had no problem! I wanted it to be bright, cheery, modern and fun. I had a pink color scheme, and also incorporated the pink chevron stripe into the mix.

I used a lot of ribbon, painted tubs to look like elephant steps, hung a painted vintage frame, placed flowers in apothecary jars, strung painted peanuts as a backdrop, used a changing table and a high chair as part of the setup, had a 'make your own italian soda' station, tied ribbon around cute drinking glasses and more.The favor tags read, "Animal crackers just for you...Elephants and friends from the Zoo. Thanks for coming!"
