Well, hello party people! I, Zelda of Party Like Zelda, am super excited to share an intimate spring baby shower I styled for a friend welcoming a second child to the family. This afternoon gathering was inspired by hot air balloon adventures and picnics.<\/p>\n

Some of my favorite details from this party are:
\n\u2014 The grass wall backdrop
\n\u2014 The custom chocolate Rice Krispy Treats
\n\u2014 The custom designed tissue tassel garland<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Decorating for our small shower was a bit challenging because the entire day was overcast and misty. Glad we had a backup plan \u2014 the screened porch, less square footage but it worked out perfectly. And we stayed dry!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To make the space festive, we started with the backdrop for the dessert table. My husband stapled an outdoor grass rug from Lowe\u2019s to the framing and suspended faux wisteria vines across the front. The dark green made my ivory tablecloths dazzle. But that wasn\u2019t enough. To add pops of color I dressed the front of the table with teal, pink, lime green and baby blue tissue tassel garland from Glitter Girlz Designs<\/strong><\/a>. I used miniature white cake stands for the delicious cookies \u2014 peanut butter and chocolate chip \u2014 and a larger one for the miniature cupcakes. All of which came from Margaret\u2019s Bakery.  I love how the beautiful lavender chocolate covered Rice Krispy Treat pops from Sassy\u2019s Sweets balanced the color palette.<\/p>\n

I wanted the ladies to feel like they were on a picnic, so instead of a buffet table, I packed our lite fare in disposable food boxes. Lunch consisted of pasta salad, pimento cheese sandwiches and fresh fruit. Each guest also got a milk bottle filled with ginger lemonade. It was the perfect bubbly complement to the basket of fresh strawberries that anchored the table. On either side of the basket, I created a simple hot
\nair balloon arrangement of hydrangea and alstroemeria in paper berry boxes by Recollections that I picked up at Michael\u2019s.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since it was such a small group, I did things a little differently. As guests arrived, they were treated to a popcorn box filled with gourmet caramel popcorn. The patterned boxes were arranged on the mantle which also was adorned with a tissue tassel from Glitter Girlz Designs.<\/p>\n

A special thanks to my party assistants, my daughter and husband, for helping get everything moved and setup. And to Anders Ruff Custom Designs for their Easter Has Sprung Collection<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
