As soon as my good friend Min found out she was expecting a little girl, I started planning, with my friends
Christine (who volunteered her lovely house), Kaley and Sara, to give her a pretty and girly baby shower. We wanted it to be special and intimate and I believe that is just what it ended up being!

Diaper wreath: I got this idea from Pinterest.com. I simply tied diapers to a wire hanger with ribbon. Super easy and cute. |

My mom got this metal stork for my baby shower and has been used a few times since. What a great find, Mom! |

We got this little story book for Min and had everyone in attendance add a little wish or message for the new baby. |

It took 6 bunches of carnations to create this gorgeous arrangement! Carnations have a bad rap, but used in large amounts they have tremendous impact. |

I created this baby's breath ball that hung from the center of 30 yards of tented tulle (another idea from pinterest.com). At the last minute I decided that it needed to have some ribbon trailing down, and then I attached these cute little clothes cut-outs with clothes pins that Christine had. |

Christine created this adorable bunting banner. |

Another darling detail that Christine added: doily backing with little bows and a poem on water bottles. |

My friend, Kaley, wanted to have all the ladies do a flower arrangement to take along with them, instead of the traditional games. |

We had the best time just chatting and tucking flowers into our individual and unique tea cups! |

What a fun and lovely afternoon with old and new friends! It was so special to honor Min and welcome her new baby and I was privileged to be apart of it. |
