Hi there! This was the weekend that culminated many days and weeks of planning. I finally was able to see the BEE shower i designed for my good girl friend come to life. As promised, here are a few pictures to give you a little inspiration for your next bee-themed birthday party, bridal or baby shower. I've already shared the invitation that inspired the entire event. The designers at the Celebration Shoppe really outdid themselves with this collection. It totally gave me the direction in which to carry my vision.
No event is complete without a cake to compliment your theme or idea.
VENUE: The Josephine Butler Ctr. 
This beautiful home was once the estate of Washington's elite. It was also the home of the Hungarian and Brazilian embassies. However, its beautiful buttery yellow color palette perfectly complimented the tone and ambiance for our shower.
Here's the rest of the pics...ENJOY!
I designed the sign above in MSWord and sent it over to my local printing company to be mounted onto posterboard. The cost was nominal and was a nice touch to the over aesthetics of the party.
Above is the tablescape designed for the event. Plates, placemats, cupcake picks and napkin rings were all purchased from the designers at the Celebration Shoppe.
I made and decorated the diaper cake to serve as a centerpiece for the gift table.
The wishing tree was created to provide an alternative to the typical mommy advice cards.
I also placed a vase of fresh and silk florals in a small vase for color. The Oh Baby letters were spray painted to match the color palette. I added two glass dishes filled with yellow lemonhead candies for guests to enjoy as they signed the wishing tree notes.
No event is complete without a cake to compliment your theme or idea.
This yummy confection was created by the awesome cake goddess, Keyla Clements of
City Girl Custom Cakes. We worked together to come up with the final design. The cake
was french vanilla with yellow buttercream icing topped with white chocolate drizzle.
The drink station was certainly a hit. Well certainly the peach champagne bellinis with fresh peaches, strawberries and raspberries. For the mom-to-be, I created a fresh lemonade non-alcoholic beverage that was yummy in its own right. We also had custom water bottles for guest and additional sodas in case we ran out of drinks.
Overall the babyshower was a huge success. We had an awesome time and mom received ton of baby gifts to welcome her new son sometime in August.
Hugs and Love!
