One of my dearest friends Lauren, is expecting baby #2 and she wanted a coastal grandmother themed baby shower. I am excited to share this with you because it was lovely and it was a mixture of Lauren's vision and lots of collected blue and white dishes and flatware with food, drinks and setup by The Tea and Company.

A couple weekends ago, my nearest + dearest gathered in celebration of our baby boy with a Beatrix Potter themed baby shower!

"Baby fever" is the only thing I can call this phenomenon, but I swear, everyone I know is expecting, or just had a baby! At our church, there were (at least) 5 of us pregnant at the same time - with all of us due only weeks apart. It was crazy! One of the lovely side-effects of all of this new life is the ability to celebrate with baby showers! Baby showers are a mostly American tradition, but ladies all over are starting to do them more and more. I was very touched when a group of my friends from our church here in Ljubljana hosted a baby shower for Jocelyn and I. It was so nice to feel loved and supported, especially since we had recently moved here. When one of the sweet mamas who threw the baby shower for us found out she was pregnant, I knew that I wanted to return the favor. This particular mama isn't in love with the color pink - but is expecting a girl, so I knew I needed to find a tasteful way to make it feminine. We settled on a "Garden Party" theme, and it turned out just lovely. For center pieces, we bought potted flowers, and put them in terra-cotta pots. I loved how naturally beautiful it looked! I was able to then use them as door prizes at the end - perfect! This was the "activity" table. We had a guestbook, where each guest left a thumb print and their name on a bare tree. Then, I had clothespins out, to play the "baby" game (where you can't say the word baby), and little cards to fill out with "prayers for baby". I punched holes in the corner, and then had a ring to string them on. For food, we had cucumber sandwiches, sugar cookies, melon and blueberry "flowers" (melon, cut with a cookie cutter into flowers, then placed on a kebab stick, with a blueberry on top), breadsticks, and Danish lagkage - the recipe for which you can find here. We also had a really fun gardening station - I bought some dirt, five different seed packets, terra-cotta pots, and also the kind you can plant all in one - the ladies then to planted some seeds to take home; the perfect party favor! For dishes, I actually used these beautiful dishes my mom recently gave me - they were hers, but she didn't use them, and graciously passed them on. They're not my style for everyday dishes, but are perfect for something like this. I also used my great-grandmother's silver, which I adore. I put the cutlery in a terra-cotta pot, to continue with the theme. I used garden markers to label the food, and drinks. I set up a welcome table, with a bucket for cards. I also set out the board book, The Secret Garden, but sadly didn't get a picture of it. And of course, a "throne' for the mama-to-be. I love our apartment, but was especially thankful for the open floor plan. We flipped the couch around, pulled the benches out from around the dinner table, and changed up the sofa chairs, and it worked out great! Everyone seemed to have a lovely time, the food all turned out delicious, and I was thrilled with how it all looked!

Last month I had both of my Michigan showers back to back. It was a whirlwind of a weekend, but so, so fun to have everyone there to celebrate the blessing of these twin boys! My best friend threw the most beautiful Peter Rabbit themed shower for us, I just had to share :) All the details were precious and made me feel so loved! It was extra fun because one of my past clients, who I adore, hosted the shower at her house that we built back in 2019. Come on in! I have to tell you, I am terrified of birds (always have been!), but my friends just got these new chicks and they wanted me to hold them for a picture because TWINS ;) The entry was set up so cute with the shower favors of macarons and flower seeds. Did you catch the precious rain boots stuffed with flowers?! They got two pairs-- one for each boy -- and I can't wait for them to wear them when they're older. We had the most delicious punch, teas and coffee waiting for guests. I just loved how the theme was was so beautifully tucked in every corner! The shower was in the morning, so it was perfect for a lovely brunch. We had delicious quiches, salad with berries, scones and brunch coffee cake. yum! My friend is incredible with flowers (you should see her massive cut flower garden she grows every year!), so the arrangements she made were stunning. She definitely brought the garden aspect of Peter Rabbit to life! Look at these adorable napkins they found with bunnies!! Having all my friends there to celebrate was so special! They had this little activity set up where they could write on cards with encouraging words or bible verses, then clip them to newborn diapers. I just loved this! I have tons of diapers with notes on them to read after a diaper change for some encouragement :) I couldn't believe how many beautiful and thoughtful gifts we got! These babies are already spoiled ;) We asked everyone to bring a book and we got some of the cutest books I've ever seen. I'm so excited to read them to the babes! I got my diaper bag (aka backpack!) and I was just so excited about it. It was filled to the brim with diapers, which was so fun. Just a handful of my friends who came...I am so thankful for these ladies who have prayed us through a really difficult season and are now rejoicing with us over the babies' lives. God has been so faithful to us to provide such a wonderful community. And a really cool thing happened-- the friend on the bottom left was also struggling with infertility at the same time as us. We never knew if we'd get a picture like this, both holding our little baby bumps, but here we are both pregnant! Praise the Lord. Thank you to my friend Ashley for taking these lovely photos to get to remember this special day! xoxo interior design website / services / portfolio

When people are going to baby showers, they are expecting baby shower punch. It's a tradition that's as old as baby showers itself. Some people serve pink punch at baby girl showers; some serve blue punch for boy showers, and others serve whatever tastes good. The sky is truly the limit on what you can serve. There are so many ideas and even more variations to choose from. Traditionally, beverages served at a baby shower are non-alcoholic because the mom-to-be cannot drink alcohol. While mom-to-be still cannot drink alcohol, traditions about drinking alcohol at a baby shower have changed a bit.
