Perfect Pair Twins Party

I spied this magnificent party

on Bump Smitten designed and styled

by the fabulous Jordan of Polka Dot Prints...

(I have been a follower of hers for a long time)...

And as much as I love dessert tables

(and I have styled my fair share)...

I'm starting to wean myself away from them...

I much prefer this set up...

where everything is beautifully laid out on one table...

Who needs all those sweets anyway?

I'd much rather have at least an equal amount 
of both savory & sweet...

Every detail of this party has been executed to perfection...

right down to the menu cards...

The vintage drink table has me swooning with the baby's breath
and along side the perfect packaged favors...

What a FABULOUS party!

A Baby Blessing Party

This party from Kara's Party Ideas is nothing short of spectacular...

Right down to the theme...A Baby Blessing Party...

How sweet that is...

I love the food in the gable boxes...
and this tablecloth...sigh...

And this cake...precious!

You know how I love pom cupcake toppers...




Absolutely darling!

Sweet Friday - Baby Shower

Happy Friday!

Here are some sweet pictures 

of the baby shower that I hosted for my sister...

First off, our theme was pink, black & white...

I made just about everything myself for this party...

Such as this invite...

 In lieu of a card, guests were asked to bring a book

to add to Baby Madelynn's library...

Guests were greeted by this pretty

hanging on the front door...

This diaper cake was almost the death of me...

It took me several tries to create it...

but I was pleased with the final product...

I hung black & pink lanterns

that I had ordered from Oriental Trading Company...

(I love these because they can be folded up & stored away

for another time)...

And the garland on the front of the table

is a duo of pink & black yarn poms that I also made...

I love these black/white striped liners

that I ordered from Shop Sweet Lulu's...

They were perfect for the Carrot Cake Cupcakes...

And these poms toppers...I am a pom LOVER!

These were made of pink taffeta...

And I also used them to display the food cards...

No party would be complete without

chocolate covered oreos 

from Sweeties by Kim...

Not only beautiful to look at but also delicious too!

I used a black & white paper straw

for the cake pops...

These strawberry bars were the hit of the party...

Compliments of Paula Deen...

Blueberry Cobbler 

in fabulous wrappers from Shop Sweet Lulu's...

I used a total of 6 dozen pink roses...

2 dozen were in this vase...

It is a baby shower after all...

Sugar cookies with the same sweet monogram

that were on the invite...

This perfect pink board I stumbled upon at Michaels... 

I used it to hold "Words of Wisdom"

for the Mommy-to-be...

These large pink poms

were used to decorate 

the guest of honor's chair...

(I really could have poms all over my house

if my hub would let me...)

The drink table...

Wine, Pink Lemonade, Sweet Tea or Lemon Water...

This table was an exact replica of the dessert table...

It even had the lanterns over the table...

I adorned the vessels & bottles

with pink roses & ribbon...

 I glued baby roses on to clear stir sticks
to make these lovelies...

These were the favors that were sent home

with the guests...

Personalized notecards that matched the invite...

I customized the Barbie one in the front

for Bethany who was 3-1/2...
She was so excited...

The guests all had a great time...
The end...

A Candy Bar Shower

This shower from Martha Stewart Weddings

for Dylan Lauren is beyond AMAZING...

You might know already that Dylan is a candy girl herself...

So what better way to celebrate an engagement?

I love all the details...it's a happy shower...

it puts me in a good mood just looking...

Boy, does this sweet invite set the stage...

Absolutely precious!

The edible artwork is just beyond...
This mosaic was created from gum...
yes...I said gum...
How fabulous IS that?

Talk about an edible necklace...

this one is exquisite!

edible bling...

Cocktails anyone?

With these stir sticks?

YES, PLEASE!

Look how adorable the fries are packaged...

and this savory faire...

The perfect cake for this shower...

Simple desserts...

These precious little cupcakes...

with white chocolate toppers...

These images are the sweetest!

Guests were to write sweet wishes...

Beautifully packaged favors galore...

And now hold on to your seats...
The grand finale...

My favorite of all...
This stunning bouquet ...

It is made from royal icing...

Is this the most gorgeous creation you've ever seen?!

I'm swooning...can you tell?!...

STUNNING!
