This was a baby shower for my beautiful and talented friend Suzi Lighten! I helped host it and did a little makin and bakin, but the collaboration of many creative minds, made this shower one of the most stunning events I've ever been a part of. Suzi had SO many incredible ideas. She pinned a lot of them on her Pinterest page so some of them were recreated designs with our own twist. The theme (as you will be able to figure out) was vintage!! People earned raffle tickets for dressing up, wearing hats, gloves, fun shoes and other fun things. One of the biggest shout out for the beautiful decor goes to Teresa Meli of
Foura Coutour. She took the vision that Suzi had and made it a reality. She completely blew us away with her creations! The pictures speak for themselves.
This also literally would not have been possible without Gordon Parker & Ed Ramos at Bears Best Golf Course. They allowed us to use this incredibly beautiful, newly remodeled banquet room. The wall color is so soft, the carpets pattern and color is so gorgeous and neutral which goes with EVERYTHING and the ceiling is just outstanding! GREAT for photography! Thank you Thank you Thank you for your generosity! Ed made the tables look beautiful with latte colored linens, and gold chivari chairs. He helped so much when my time was ticking away and helped us to keep everything stocked with food.
Under most of the picture, there are descriptions of who did what and how it was made. There are SO many people mentioned for ideas, food, decor, EVERYTHING. Please read up! Thanks to everyone who attended. You made this shower so special for Suzi and of course all of us!
Here are a few of the pictures I tried to quickly snap as my time was extremely limited! Enjoy!

One of the nice things in having a golf course is that it can be used for many different purposes, including creative baby showers like Suzi’s. The presentation is so lovely, which is obviously painted in the faces of the attendees.
