Upcy: Jungle Boy Baby Shower

It was such an honor and a privilege to design the decor to Shower my Nephew to be & beautiful sister, Brittany with Love! But admittedly, I am a bit of a control freak when it comes to this stuff (Beyond grateful to the other wonderful women who Planned this shower for baring with me and my crazy ideas, and for all of their help pulling it off). A special Thank You to the Grandmothers to be, her dear friend Amara, Brittany's Neices & Nephews, & the Friends & Family who stopped by before, or stuck around after to help! As you scroll down though the photos you will see just how much of a TEAM effort this truly was -- despite them attempting to allow all the credit to go to me!
When I found out that it was going to be a Jungle Theme for my sweet Nephew-to-be's Nursery, I decided to incorporate as many Jungle Touches as I could into the Shower Decor Theme. It was a colour pallet of Blue (ombre) shades, gold, and green. With touches of natural cotton, lace, hemp, and macrame.

I had a ton of help on the Center Pieces, painting all of the many Jungle Safari Animals & adding ribbon to the Flower Jars from the lovely Grandmothers to be, her Niece & Nephews, & dear friend Amara (who Also organized a whole bunch of Games for the guests to Play & PRIZES to be won! All of the Balloons were organized by her lovely Niece as well!! My Father & brother cut all of the Wooden Platforms! The stunning Aloe Plants were grown by my Mother!

I decided to make a painting in place of the traditional Guest Book, that could be kept (or hung in their home) as a keepsake. I had each of the Guests sign one of the small Blue Circles scattered across the table above & hid away in the Kitchen of the Hall to glue them on as Balloons above the 'strings' you can see in the Semi-finished shot of it above! I am super bummed with myself for not snapping a shot of it finished... you'll have to just Imagine the little Monkey being lifted up by Balloons with the names of those who love him most!

[Appended: Aug 12th] Britt is seriously AMAZING - After reading the Blog, she sent me This photo of the Finished 'Guest Book' to include. Thank YOU Britt; for the photo & your continued encouragement!

Brittany's Mom had this Picture of the beloved Parent's to be Printed - such a thoughtful addition & photo to remember this special time in their lives!

The Food was made by the Grandmothers (again I missed the shot)! Let me just say, you can tell that they are Mothers to boys, as they sure do know how to put out an EPIC spread!!!)

Which obviously included over 10 Jars of Pickles <3 ;)
