Baby Shower Recap

My mother threw me a baby shower a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful Spring day, full of lots of family and friends, and great food! It was more of a party than a shower, a wonderfully warm celebration, and we definitely felt showered with LOVE.

Planned with great care, my mom took reign of the location, guests, food, and drinks, but I took reign of the design. It's hard to let go of all control, and since I have a lot of decor (poofs, tassels, fringe, etc) from all the shows we do, it's only natural to want to want to use them again and again! The room was full of bright colors and happy details. Below are a few of my favorite shots.

Our wedding cake toppers made a re-appearance on the dessert table. This time accompanied by a little addition :)

Pastries topped with hearts.

Our gift table. I am still overwhelmed with the outpouring of generosity and support.

A little vignette of flowers in baby's initial.

Similar to the hearts that topped the pastries, we had hearts on straws, too!

Baby shower games are pretty fun. We played a few games, my favorite being the guess the belly size game. All the men cut string and my aunt helped with seeing who was closest.

Here is a fun video Sonja shot during the game.

Heart over belly photo with mine and husband's hands. My hands are swollen now. It's a bit much and I can't wear rings anymore.

With the amazing photographer and my cousin, Nicole Espina Photography. All photos but the last 2 are shot by Nicole.

And the fam! Pops took the photo.
