Up, Up and Away

The shower was held at the Ritz Carlton New Orleans. Chosen for it’s vantage point and view of the city, it truly made guests feel like they were up in the clouds. White and blue balloons anchored the tables and added a touch of whimsy to this up, up and away baby shower. They wanted guests to feel like they were in the clouds, and the groupings of balloons were the perfect touch.

An Around the World Game

Guests were encouraged to participate in fun baby shower games, like a word scramble with different countries. All of the signage and game sheets perfectly matched the travel theme, too!

Amazing Decor and Gifts to Treasure

The mom-to-be was truly one lucky woman – the decor was gorgeously crafted and everyone showered her and her little man with sweet gifts to treasure. The centerpieces for the shower stole the show. Designed by the shower host, the centerpieces were crafted to look like hot air balloons with a basket full of flowers.

The Sweetest Sweets

The first cake was stunning, but the host didn’t stop there. The shower was filled with sweets for the new mom and her guests. Naked cakes with blue cake centers were gorgeous when topped with a bit of frosting and fresh flowers.
