I had the privilege of throwing my dear friend Katie her baby shower for her second baby! She does not know the sex of the baby so I wanted to really focus the shower on her as she already is a momma! My favorite thing about Katie is the she is so elegant and proper. I have never met anyone like her, and it just makes it so sweet getting to know her more. She has the biggest heart for the Lord and the people that surround her life. So long story short I wanted to celebrate in a way that just felt like Katie! So of course I decided on a tea party ;) Now before I post pictures I need to say..... I HAD A LOT OF HELP, thanks to my sweet mother in law! So jut know that this was all done with help, that I so appreciated!
I loved how all the little details came together, from the food to the decor. We did all old mix matched chairs which were borrowed from our Nana. All the tea pots, cups, plates, and silverware is my mother in laws. It has inspired me to start collecting my own set ;) The chandeliers were borrowed from my friend Cara, they were in her wedding and are GORGEOUS. Just about everything else was from my home or my mother in laws. For food we did sandwiches (cucumber, ham and swiss, and tuna), Salami and cheese, brownies, sugar cookies, crudite`, and fruit tarts. For drinks their was obviously hot tea ;) raspberry iced tea, iced coffee, and water.
In the front of the barn I set up a photo booth section. You would think with how familiar we are all with social media we would be more comfortable with the camera.... but none of us were haha. So instead I improvised and had everyone hold up the white board with a message to Katie.....
It was so cute seeing every one's funny, serious, or awkward messages ;) I loved all the ideas! After the whiteboards were done, we did a few shots with Katie. This is Katie and her momma
She is by far the cutest pregnant lady I know. She is always glowing.
