Apple of Her Eye Baby Shower

As the summer weather falls to the way side and warm sweaters make their way to the front and center of my closet, I can’t help but notice all the changes taking place this time of year. The most exciting though is happening for a close friend and her husband who are welcoming a new baby girl to their world.

There really isn’t anything sweeter than a little bundle of joy. And let’s be honest, an Apple of Her theme is just the ticket when it comes to celebrating something so precious. Not to mention that it was the perfect time of year for an apple themed party.

 

Theme

From the moment this couple found out they were pregnant, it was obvious that this baby was truly the apple of their eye, which is why this theme was such a perfect fit. I decided to stick with a cream and green color pallet in order to incorporate granny smith apples into the decor and food. I wanted the party to have a rustic feel so I used wood, baskets and paper bags where ever I could to help achieve that. I also knew I wanted to carry the cut-in-half apple visual from the invite into the party. To keep the cost down, I tried to make everything I could at home.
