Be Inspired: Blue Floral Themed Baby Shower for a Baby Boy
I love baby showers. The excitement in the air, the adorable gifts, the gorgeous Mum-to-be - there's just something extra special about them. That is why I was so excited to help my cousin Michelle out with a beautiful baby shower to celebrate the impending arrival of her little man.
Inspired by the brilliant blue colour of blue hydrangea flowers, the shower was held at The Centennial Room at The Centennial Hotel in Woollahra.
The table was lined with white, blue and lavender florals and each table setting featured a handmade place card, menu and beautifully wrapped favour box with a special message personally thanking each guest for attending.
It was a lunchtime event, catered "family style" by the incredible team at The Centennial Hotel.
