Coral and Turquoise Baby Shower

From Charlene Fallon Hopkins: My friends Kelly and Nate Murphy wanted their baby shower to match the baby’s nursery. It was a co-ed baby party. Kelly has wonderful style and chose coral, pink and turquoise. She also wanted to incorporate an ombré theme. I love using novels in my tablescapes. I painted a few outdated books to match the theme. I stamped Clara James (baby) on one so the mom could keep it for her baby decor.  I decided on macaroons, cupcakes, cake pops, and meringues for the event. I made the cake and all of the desserts. I handmade most of the decorations. We used succulents for the flower centerpieces and had chocolate mustaches for the kids. I did an ombré effect on the chocolate covered strawberries and then placed them in vintage berry baskets. It was a great afternoon for celebrating the arrival of miss Clara James!
