{taylor faith} - orange county baby shower - sip & see

A very special friend of mine recently gave birth to the sweetest baby girl, Taylor Faith.  Rather than throwing her a traditional baby shower, her friends and I opted to host a brunch to celebrate the arrival of Taylor, and to honor her amazing mama, Leigh.

Sage Restaurant in Newport Beach provided the perfect setting for our "Sip & See" and perfectly complimented  the french country look we chose.  The food was so tasty.  You must try their strawberry shortcake...yum!  A friend of Leigh's created the beautiful paper goods, all matching our owl theme - "Guess Whoooo's Here?!"

It was a beautiful day, celebrating a beautiful family who is beyond dear to my heart!  I'm so very happy to share these photos with you.  xo

I just don't think I could love these two any more!  Congratulations! xoxo

{holly jae} ETA 5.6.12 - Orange County Baby Shower

I am so excited to share these photos with you!  I had the joy/pleasure/honor (I could keep going...) of throwing a baby shower for my cousin Brandi.  She is simply amazing, and if I do say, the most adorable pregnant woman ever!  I wanted her shower to be light, sweet and oh-so-pink!  I had so much help from Rachel Smith of Fine and Dandy Paperie.  She helped to design the perfect paper goods to match our theme. Brandi's baby girl, Holly Jae, (cutest name ever!) is due in May and I can't wait to meet her.

Such a cute Mama!

Favors that taste so sweet! (After 10 minutes at 350 of course!
