Baby Shower Decor

I have a friend who is having her second baby. What's fun is that she's decided not to find out the gender until birth! How fun is that?!


Well, we naturally had to throw a baby shower for her, and make it as neutral as possible. I couldn't attend the shower, but I put together a bunch of origami flowers to help decorate. Here are some photos of the event:




I made extra large lotus flowers out of half-sheets of regular printer paper. They turned out SO BIG, that they decided to use them as "post caps" for the fence streamers. So cute!!



Gotta have the watermelon baby carriage!

Lillies were placed on two tables and twisty roses were scattered on the tables.




All the decor looked so fabulous, it was so fun to help put these little pieces together. I may be biased, but I think my friends did a fantastic job decorating for this event!

The bouquets of lillies were my favorite.


Here are some instructions for the flowers I made:
