Rustic Elegance

A new Lil Pumpkin will be arriving in just a few short weeks and I designed a baby shower I termed "Rustic Elegance" for her Mommy to celebrate. I wanted to think outside the box when it came to a Fall theme so I stayed away from your typical orange and used a peach in it's place. Paired with brown, white and a touch of red, it made for a new spin on the season.
I gained elegance by using lace doilies, a modern doily printed fabric, feathers, crystals hung from the tree branches, mercury glass vases and I adorned mini foam pumpkins with pearl strands.

I gained my rustic side by using textured items like burlap for the flags and tree branch pots, weathered bird houses, wrought iron pumpkins and dried flowers. Simple white tree branches can be easily re-decorated and used for entirely different themed parties. You can see them in their original glory at my baby shower thrown by best friend Jennifer Skog.

Each guest received a homemade Pecan tartlet shower favor baked by the guest of honor's mother in law. They were delish and the perfect ending to our Fall themed shower!
