Baby Girl Sprinkle

One of my roommates from Chapel Hill, and dear friend, Margaret, is having her second baby within the week (hopefully!).  She has a son, and is now having a baby girl, and I cannot wait to meet her.  I know Margaret feels the same way – the very end of a pregnancy is tough!

I wanted to do something to celebrate this special baby girl, so one of Margaret’s friends from work and I co-hosted this baby sprinkle.  Her nursery is turquoise/teal, gold, and white.  It is perfectly feminine and classic!  We started with the inspiration for this sprinkle of turquoise and gold, and I knew I wanted to have plenty of fresh flowers. If you follow me on instagram, you’ve seen how happy those blooms made me!

On to the baby sprinkle details:

We just used an online invitation from evite…simply done!

My gift to Margaret was not practical at all, but I had to give her this pillow for baby girl’s nursery. This white pillow with pom pom trim (from Marshall’s!!) was begging for a gold monogram.

We always move our kitchen island into the open French doors of Todd’s office for parties at our house.  This time at served as a welcome table and a place for the guests to address thank-you note envelopes so that Margaret won’t have to worry about it.

All of the flowers were from Trader Joe’s and Costco.

I made mini strawberry cupcakes with turquoise colored buttercream and gold sprinkles.

We decided to have simple juice, pink lemonade, and water for drinks.  We also had a coffee bar.

My mantle is always a work in progress.  My mom helped me with the latest styling, and I added flowers and the tassel garland for the baby sprinkle.

All the flowers.  These all made me so happy, and brought a lot of life to the look of the baby sprinkle!  (And hopefully Margaret enjoyed them, too).

Me, Margaret, Jennifer

I regret not taking more pictures of Margaret and her friends and family during the sprinkle.  This is the only one I got!
