Nicole’s Alice in Wonderland Themed Baby Shower

Guests entered Nicole’s enchanted Alice in Wonderland themed baby shower and were greeted with Tropical Green Iced Tea, orange juice, and champagne against a magical backdrop. Large paper poppies stood tall along the pool matching the flower-filled table. Clocks, books, and mushroom trinkets intermingled with fresh floral centerpieces and vintage plates topped with printed tea menus sat at each place setting. Nicole posed for selfies with friends and mingled until it was time to grab a plate for lunch. Inside, Turkey and Veggie Focaccia Triangle Sandwiches, Roast Beef Palm Sandwiches, Tarragon Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwiches, Broccoli Bacon Salad, Tangerine Pecan Salad, Ellie’s Pasta Salad, an assortment of Berry Champagne, Honey Lavender, and Strawberry French Macarons, and Lemon and Blueberry Scones filled the counter. The menu was selected by Nicole with help from our Ellie’s Table Catering Manager, Sam. Back at the outdoor table with plates full, guests participated in fun games for entertainment. The celebration ended with many well wishes shared with the soon-to-be-mother, and lots of photos taken to remember the special day.
