A few weeks ago, just before baby boy made his grand entrance into the world, my closest friends threw me the most delightful baby shower. It was held at Besa Grill, a cozy restaurant with a private dining room that was perfect for our gathering. They were very accommodating, letting us decorate the space as we pleased and even allowing us to bring in our own desserts. The venue had a charming vibe, and it was exactly what we were hoping for.
The color scheme was inspired by my favorite hues—mint green, metallics, and touches of burlap. It was all about creating an elegant yet cozy atmosphere. For the decor, we put a lot of thought into every detail. My friend Briony and I worked together to design several personalized touches. The centerpiece of the event was a set of adorable little planters we turned into party favors. I stumbled upon these tiny terracotta pots at Target for just a dollar each. With a bit of creativity, we transformed them into eye-catching keepsakes. First, we painted them with mint green paint, followed by a layer of gold to give them a touch of sophistication. To complete the look, we added gold accents and attached printable planting instructions to sucker sticks. These little pots were such a hit!
Tabitha’s mom played a huge role in making the event special too. She crafted large and small pom-poms that hung beautifully from the ceiling, adding a whimsical element to the room. We also found a mint circle garland on Etsy and mint chevron straws at a discount, which tied everything together perfectly. For the table, we used burlap tablecloths that Marina decorated herself. She stenciled a chic chevron pattern using white paint, which gave the setup a rustic yet elegant touch.
Our dessert spread included delicious cupcakes from Sugar Darlings, featuring both chocolate and vanilla flavors with mint frosting and gold salt flakes. It was the perfect finishing touch to our themed menu. Instead of traditional games, we encouraged guests to share their advice for Tabitha and wishes for baby Skylar. Their notes were collected in a custom gold box that I painted, while the fabric pieces will eventually become part of a decorative bunting for the nursery.
One of the highlights of the evening was the amazing hair and makeup by Julie Calderone. She truly transformed me into a princess for the night.
I am endlessly grateful to my talented friends Marina and Briony for putting together such a magical event. Their hard work and creativity made the occasion unforgettable. And let’s not forget the incredible gifts I received—opening them felt like Christmas morning all over again!
