Who doesn’t love a fun party?! (Especially when it involves a gorgeous location, whimsical decor, yummy treats, and adorable gifts?!)

I was so flattered when Randi, of Kay & Co, asked me to be a part of a baby shower photo shoot. Randi did a phenomenal job coordinating this beautiful event held at Cannon Green in downtown Charleston! Hopefully the images (by Taylor Lauren Barker) will inspire you the next time you host a shower!

Gorgeous?! RIght?!

Three great takeaways from this event:

1. Broaden Your Ideas on Location
   I love the idea that you don’t have to host a shower at your house. I know for us, our living area isn’t always conducive for large parties. So looking for spaces like Cannon Green can be a perfect solution!

2. Florals, Florals, Florals
   A beautiful bouquet can go a long way for decorating! It can even be easier to go less in some areas, and just let the flowers do the talking.

3. Create a Fun Backdrop for Taking Pics
   Balloon arches, background greenery, hand-lettered sign…these are all ideas for creating a space that is ideal for taking pictures. Don’t worry about the whole space being picture perfect! Make a specific backdrop that people want to take pictures in front of! (This will also encourage people to take pictures of the fun event!)

I hope these photos inspire some ideas! I’ll list the vendors again below!
