Lavender & Lime is the perfect inspiration for a baby shower for those Mamas waiting to find out ‘if it’s a boy or girl’! The theme is bright, cheery and still makes for a very girly celebration on a Sunday afternoon.
A few friends and I recently held a baby shower with this in mind, and here are a few of the ideas we came up with.
Decorations included: Martha Stewart lavender leaf scrapbooking paper for a table runner and napkin wraps, bright yellow poms to accent the theme, homemade petit fours in matching colors, lemon bars that were delicious! and favors tagged with a tiny clothespin to thank our guests for celebrating with us.
Assorted vintage white milk glass vases and fabric covered cylinder vases collected irises, mums, wild roses and daises. We lined vases in sliced limes and added teeny handmade paper butterfly cutouts for extra detail.
Covering vases in your favorite fabric is an easy way to incorporate pattern and color into your theme!

We had a wonderful time — and can’t wait to find out what baby will be! Here is the lady of honor with a few of our guests.

Those colors are perfect for parents who don’t want to know the sex of the baby! Love the limes lining the vase. Your petit fours look wonderful. I have never found a good recipe. Hope you will share yours!

I would love to find the perfect petit four recipe as well – unfortunately mine from thisshower wasn’t my favorite and I probably wouldn’t use it again. If you ever come across one, please share!
