Real Baby Shower: Vintage Bloom Shower

Yesterday's table setting was fabulous and today's table setting, from Kelly Balfour of Eventology Weddings, is equally fabulous!! Makes me want to have a dinner party tonight... just so that I could wow my guests with a table just like this. Loving the engraved vases used as place settings and those precious blue rimmed plates. STUNNING! And let me not forget to mention that dessert table, gorgeously photographed by Kasey Marsh of Monkey Tree Photography. A wonderful variety of blue and white sweets... simply DELIGHTFUL!




















From Kelly... This vintage inspired baby shower was born after finding blue-rimmed plates at IKEA. Since mommy-to-be is a fan of all things 'Anthropology', I designed the event to appeal to this look. Incorporating the colors light blue, ivory and taupe gave the shower a slight masculine touch since she was soon to be welcoming a baby boy! 


Decor included a variety of both clear & blue glass containers filled with peonies, ranaculus & roses. A nice added touch to complete the table setting was the inclusion of custom made napkins with a soft toile-like pattern. The placecards were tiny glass bottles with each guest's name displayed in faux etched glass. (i.e. vinyl decals). 


The day was complete after a trip to the dessert bar which included, among other treats, the mommy-to-be's favorite dessert: Crave cupcakes.
