Green Elephant Baby Shower

Last night some friends and I threw a baby shower and I designed this Green Elephant Baby Shower dessert table especially for Adriana and her baby David.

I used as a focus point a trunk-up baby elephant for good luck. The elephant is probably the most positive animal symbol known.

While looking for the theme and colors, I found matching fabric and napkins that inspired me to combine some shades of greens.

This table is an example of simplicity and fun. Just by adding some special items like the elephant and bringing together other matching elements you can turn a plain table to a very special one. Not much needed: a piece of fabric, napkins, couple of small vases, few flowers, neutral color plates and bowls and few sweet treats.

Corsages made of napkins.

Napkins and utensils

Some sweets

Elephant cookies made by Eunice. They were amazingly cute.

Congratulations to Adriana and thank you to all our friends that were there. It was a wonderful and fun night.

Eye Candy Events

Proudly, I share these two tables from Eye Candy from Monterrey, Mexico. The designer's name is Claudia and as you can tell we share more than just the love for parties! I saw the colorful pictures of the m&m's theme buffet table in many event blogs and few days ago I found that 'she did it again' ...she put together a wonderful pink and brown baby shower table.
Here some pictures of her fantastic work.

Baby Shower

I hosted a baby shower for one of my best friend. I knew she was expecting a baby girl and I was sure she would prefer any color except pink! I chose orange and turquoise as the colors of the party. She certainly liked it.

I decorated the place with paper banners and paper poppy flowers I made coached, of course, by Martha www.marthastewart.com

As the Mexican tradition, we welcomed every guest with a corsage. I made just a simple bow with a tiny heart that said "it's a girl" from Michael's (first picture)

For favors, I gave some little notebook pads with initials bought in ACmoore.
