Carter Baby Shower

One of my friends is expecting a little girl and I am thrilled to be planning her baby shower for this September! She loved the idea of the Carter Baby Shower theme, but of course I added a few creative tweaks to make it creatively her own. This will be her inspiration board:

A dessert table will be the centerpiece with adorable cake pops, irresistible cupcakes, and other yummy "sugar, spice, and everything nice" treats. Paper butterflies will glitter from the ceiling along with some fun balloons for brilliant backdrops. And... if I can find a vintage velvet chair for my girl, I think this shower would have the complete finishing touch. What an honor to welcome yet another beautiful baby girl into this world. ~

Rethink Balloons at the Wedding

 

I'll admit, my first impression of balloons mingling at weddings wasn't highly thought of, but when Martha Stewart's balloon issue first came out - I couldn't resist squealing, 

"Oh my gosh - how cuuuute!" 

Perhaps it's the colors or the bit of cheerfulness and fun they bring, either way I am officially infatuated with this whimsical idea! These balloons are simply delightful...

Picturesque! This idea was found in Martha Stewart's wedding magazine.

I love the versatility for any style.

Don't you just crave for more?! I am delighted that balloons have been reinvented in such a way so they can join the elegance of a wedding celebration. I look forward to seeing these at future events! ~

If you are interested in purchasing these for a wedding or other event, I have found excellent service through SWEET SHOP LULU.  

Proud to be an American

Hands down, my favorite holiday is the 4th of July! I only recollect fond memories that come with each passing year and each grand finale. My Aunt Diane's sinfully-scrumptious cheesecake cupcakes (that I never will be able to replicate), the love of an embrace during the fireworks, and above all - turning up the volume to some good ol' rock n' roll! Songs that make you proud to be an American.

I am so grateful to the soldiers who have given their time, their lives, and even their families to make our nation privileged to stand in freedom and liberty. May God Bless America. ~
