Scenes from a shower
April 12, 2011 § 3 Comments
Last weekend my mom and I hosted a shower for my dear friend, Anna, and I wanted to share a few images from the event. It was so fun to put it together for her because she has great style and I wanted to make her proud!
I ordered cupcakes from The Cupcake Cottage in Fort Worth – my new favorite place. These are their “baby cakes” and I love how they decorate the cakes. Not only are they cute, but delicious as well. I completely recommend them.
To add a little pizazz, I added the yellow flag toppers to the chocolate cupcakes. They’re very simple to make: simply take a wood skewer, cut it down to size, then tie a small piece of ribbon around the top. All of the cupcakes were placed on vintage cake stands that I’ve collected since my wedding.
These little flower label pots might be my new favorite thing. It was pretty simple to create and am thinking about doing a little DIY on them.
Vintage cake stands gave nice height to simple flower arrangements I pulled together in mason jars. Use varying heights and it gives a nice statement to the center of your table.
I had this vintage table cloth laying around the house – and it worked perfectly with Anna’s wedding colors – yellow and grey. This was so fun to put together and I cannot wait for your wedding, Anna!
What a gorgeous post! What a privilege for our tiny treats to be a part of such an event. I can only imagine that this setting brought an instant smile to your friend Anna! =)
Thank you so very much for such a beautiful shower. Everything was stunning!
