Marvelously Moroccan: A One-of-a-Kind Baby Shower . . .

I just love when a typical event turns into something purely magical, don't you?  What could have been the standard, cookie-cutter pastel baby shower becomes something truly special in this one of a kind Moroccan Masterpiece via On to Baby.  

And the warm, rich colors work perfectly for a colder weather shindig too, which makes it just downright wonderful for that saucy mama who is expecting her little bundle of joy come early spring!  Just take a look . . .

How about those homemade cinnamon rolls with 'Bun in the Oven' tags and those stunning henna-inspired cupcakes?

Add in a henna artist & an olive bar serving four kinds of olives on tiny gold plates, some gorgeous Moroccan pillows, hand-colored mason jars, and homemade baklava and you are all set!

Just downright gorgeous and so unexpected too!  Hope your week is going beautifully so far!!

A Sparkly, Vintage Dream of a Baby Shower . . .

 I love glitter.  I love sparkles.  But MOST of all, I love glitter & sparkles when the decorations are done right...not in that shiny, 1980s majorette/baton twirler costume way, but that ever-so-lustrous, vintage-chic style.  Well I don't know what I am rambling on about.  Just see this beautiful baby shower via Grey Likes Baby below, and you'll get the idea . . .

Please look closely at the detail of that gorgeous table top...beautiful, brushed gold sequins with a lovely cascade of pale tulle underneath . . .

And how about that gorgeous rug?

Loving that pretty, blush glassware . . .

And what a statement that cake topper makes, not to mention the perfectly place silver table linens . . .

Juneberry Baby: A 'Ready-to-Pop' Baby Shower!

A few months back we featured the most gorgeous & scrumptious little popcorn favors for an oh-so-pretty & fun baby shower or sprinkle, so when I spotted this coordinating 'Ready to Pop' baby shower from Le Partie Sugar via Kara's Party Ideas, well I certainly couldn't resist sharing it with you!!

And what better way to convey that the mom-to-be is ready to pop than with mini-Champagne bottles to 'pop' open on 02.29.12 (baby’s due date), Pop Rocks, Gumballs, Kettle Popcorn, and Cake Pops?  Fun, fun, fun . . . just take a look!

From champagne, to Rosé, to Italian Soda, to sparkling water; bubbles, bubbles, & more bubbles . . .

And who doesn't love an open bar?  Well, a popcorn bar that is . . .

Juneberry Baby: The Sweetest Shower Idea . . .

Throwing a baby shower for your BFF and looking for a creative & fun little project to get your companions crafting?  I just love this 'Make-a-Mobile' idea from On To Baby and brought to you via the great Wiley Valentine!

What an amazing way to get your guests mingling while sparking their creativity at the same time; and best yet, what a wonderful keepsake for the baby-on-the-way to enjoy when he/she makes their sweet little appearance!!  Take a look . . .

So darling, right?  And when baby outgrows the mobile, just hang the handmade lovelies from your Christmas tree to be enjoyed by the family for years to come!!

A Brilliant 'Bun in the Oven' Baby Shower . ..

The lovely ladies from Posh Paperie have done it again!  Remember the fantastic French 'Pique Nique' shower we featured last Spring?  Well, they are back at it with an adorable 'Bun in the Oven' Baby Shower that is just so simple & sweet, perfect for that couple who just can't see themselves celebrating with jungle animals or owls & birds.

Check it out . . .

Love this grey chevron pattern with the vintage paper straws . . .

And I simply can't get over this marvelous red & white baker's twine . . .

A Bundt Bar?  How fantastic!

What a sweet little take-home treat . . .

I just love that red & grey palette, so gender neutral & chic, right?  Those ladies from Posh sure know how to throw a party; take a stroll down memory lane and revisit that Pique Nique Shower if you don't believe me . . . never too over-the-top but always full of fabulous little details!!
