My big sister and I hosted a shower for our little sister last night. She is due with her second little girl in just a few weeks, so it was fun to celebrate with a few of her dearest friends.
While laying in bed fighting off a breast infection a few weeks ago, the theme for the shower came to me:
A P R I L S H O W E R S B R I N G M A Y F L O W E R S
We wanted everything to be really flowery and springy with a yummy salad, crusty bread, special sweets and time to honor the mommy-to-be.

{flower pin favors}
{garland}

{fresh flowers}
{the food}
{me, amy, mom, audrey}
{me, audrey, the guest of honor}
And just because I think they are some of the cutest maternity photos, here are a few that were taken last week of my sissy, her husband and the most darling soon-to-be big sister {hope you don’t mind, Hillary!}
So beautiful! You and Amy did such a good job. Wish I could have celebrated with you. LOVE YOU HILL.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely shower! Congratulations to your little sister - your little nieces are lucky to have wonderful aunts. :) I love the shower theme and all the little touches - so creative! I hope you have completely recovered from your breast infection...I breastfed for a year and had a few clogged ducts, but consider myself very fortunate that I never had to deal with mastitis! Hope that is the worst of it for you and that it is smooth sailing from here on out.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shower. The wrap, the flowers, the food, and the invite! Fantastic. I also love a shower where the host actually welcomes you into their home. It means so much more and is always more enjoyable! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteEmily...I am a long time friend of your Mother's and she gave me the link to your blog. I am enjoying it immencely!! You are wonderfully creative and it inspires me. Can you show us how you make the flower headbands for you sweet baby girl? I had hoped to meet you at the bridal shower for your Mom....but maybe another time.
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Margaret
You are so talented! I love your pictures. What a gorgeous shower! Do you sell those bows you make for Audrey? I would LOVE to have one for my 8 month old :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful.
ReplyDeleteI like your jeans...would love to know where they are from...
ReplyDeleteI adore your invitation! I love finding designers whose work I admire and enjoy, so I'm glad to have found you (not even sure how I did actually!). Blessings...Linsey
ReplyDeletenancy: these are my favorite jeans {i just found & bought a second pair on ebay last week}. They are banana republic classic wideleg. But these particular ones are not made so you'll have to find them on ebay. They have a seam down the leg. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteSuch a creative shower. I love it! And adorable pics!

Absolutely precious! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Emily for the heads up on the jeans! I appreciate you getting back to me. I'll be checking ebay now :)
ReplyDeleteBTW I too have a little Audrey. My Audrey was born in October :)
So cute. I love the theme. I'm wishing my friends would have baby girls instead of boys because girly themes are so much more fun. Ruffles? Flowers? Yes please.
ReplyDeleteHi - just stumbled upon your blog. I love your baby shower and the flower wall with favors - adorable idea and so pretty! :)
