As she counts down the days until her beloved babe’s arrival, celebrate a mother-to-be with a shower steeped in nostalgic charm.
A chorus of admiration arises when sweetly smocked dresses, silver rattles, and other heirloom treasures emerge from pretty packages bestowed upon the expectant mother.
Vintage white linens make the delicate kisses of pink trimming napkins and plates even more endearing.
For the centerpiece, roses, hellebores, daisies, narcissi, and baby’s breath are gathered into a gleaming cachepot.
Light refreshments take a playful twist on classic favorites, such as our Pink Raspberry Punch, Sweet Potato Sausage Balls, and Smoky Pimiento Cheese Tea Sandwiches, while Almond-Pecan Biscotti Cookies and Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Cherry Buttercream deliver a decadent final flourish to the girlish gala.
